'''Lapras''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラプラス''' ''Laplace'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].


=Pokédex entries=
While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Lapras can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Lapras''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}.
; [[Pokémon Emerald]]
: People have driven Lapras almost to the point of extinction. In the evenings, it is said to sing plaintively as it seeks what few others of its kind still remain.


=Name origin=
==Biology==
Lapras's name seems to be a corruption of its Japanese name, Laplace. The name may be a reference to [[wp:Pierre-Simon Laplace|Pierre-Simon Laplace]], a mathematician who wrote several books on the mathematical properties of the sea and tides. Lapras's French name is a corrupted combination of ''Loch Ness''and ''Laplace''.
[[File:Lapras aging.png|thumb|left|250px|Comparison between Lapras's younger and older appearances]]
Lapras is a {{wp|marine reptile|marine reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|plesiosaur}}. It has a blue hide with darker blue spots and a cream-colored underside. It has large brown eyes, a short horn on its forehead, and tightly curled ears. It has a long neck and four flippers. The foremost flippers are larger than the hind. On its back is a heavy, gray shell covered in blunt knobs.
[[File:Lapras Paddle VII OD.png|250px|thumb|right|Lapras Paddle]]
Lapras is a gentle, helpful Pokémon that enjoys ferrying people across bodies of water. In the past, its docility made it an easy target for hunters, and it was driven to near extinction. Recent protection efforts have seen Lapras become overabundant instead, which is now affecting the fish Pokémon numbers in some areas. An intelligent Pokémon, it can understand human speech. Lapras has [[EP113|been known]] to travel in large pods across {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|the seas}}, spanning both polar and tropical areas. To keep in touch with others of its kind, it sings enchanting melodies. Lapras usually sing when it is in a good mood. In [[Holiday Hi-Jynx|the anime]] it was shown that Lapras can develop psychic abilities such as telepathy. In [[Alola]], Lapras is used as a [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] called Lapras Paddle, Alolan natives use Lapras to travel and [[Fishing|fish]] for Pokémon in the water.


This [[Pokémon]] is based on the fabled [[wp:Loch Ness Monster|Loch Ness Monster]] in Scotland. The creature and this Pokémon are said to resemble the aquatic dinosaur known as the [[wp:plesiosaurus|plesiosaurus]], however, Lapras does not have the plesiosaurus's long neck, whereas the body is very similar to the creature that is said to be in Loch Ness.
===Forms===
Lapras has a [[Gigantamax]] form.


Lapras was originally coming to be called "Ness", but it was changed before [[Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon Blue]].
As Gigantamax Lapras, it becomes larger in size and more armored. Its shell resembles a cruise ship or ocarina with four gray and red stripes surrounding it, and it has four spikes on top of its shell with one steel spike resembling a funnel, which has three red clouds surrounding it. The sclera in Lapras' eyes change colors to white, yellow, and blue. A light blue ring of fine thin lines resembling a musical sheet created from ice particles circles around its shell.


=Base stats=
5,000 people can ride on the shell of Gigantamax Lapras for a very comfortable ride without any issues. Lapras can use its giant ring to break any icebergs that may prevent it from swimming. According to [[Oleana]], Gigantamax Lapras's shell is not part of its body, as the shell has a logarithmic spiral structure.<ref>''[[TW05|Assistant]]'' — [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]]</ref>
{{BaseStats|
HP=130 |
Attack=85 |
Defense=80 |
SpAtk=85 |
SpDef=95 |
Speed=60 }}


=In the anime=
Gigantamax Lapras is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Resonance}}.


Lapras first appeared in "Holiday Hi-Jynx". This one helped [[Ash]] and co. reunite a [[Jynx]] with Santa Claus. In [[EP084]], Ash and co. saved a baby Lapras from [[Team Rocket]]. Ash captured this Lapras and was mostly used as transportation for the majority of the Orange Island episodes. It was returned to it's family in [[EP113]]. Ash's Lapras made a return appearance in [[EP257]].{{PokémonPrevNext | prev=Gyarados | next=Ditto }}

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky|Explorers of Sky]]: Lapras is the Pokémon that ferries Pokémon to the [[Hidden Land]]. When {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} explored the [[Brine Cave]] and found the strange marking on the wall there, Lapras asked Wigglytuff not to investigate it further to keep the Hidden Land a secret. During the player's exploration of Brine Cave, the partner's Relic Fragment resonates with a painting in the deepest part of the cave, and this summons Lapras. Lapras ferries the player, the partner, and Grovyle to the Hidden Land, along the way telling the story of what happened when Wigglytuff and {{mdc|Chatot|2}} came to Brine Cave. Later, after the player defeats Dialga at Temporal Tower, Lapras will be waiting at the beach and can ferry the player and the partner back to the Hidden Land again. There is no limit to how many times Lapras can do this.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Lapras runs the [[Lapras Travel Liner]], which allows the player to visit other continents in the [[Pokémon world (Mystery Dungeon)|world]]. After the completion of the main story arc, Lapras will be recruitable after the player has established 100 connections.

The most notable role of Lapras in [[Pokémon Adventures]] was being one of the Pokémon of [[Pryce]]. In his youth, Pryce lost two of his favorite Lapras, La Pris and La Prus, in an avalanche just as the {{pkmn|Egg}} borne by them hatched. Unable to get over his loss, Pryce swore to save his Lapras and thus began researching into [[time travel]], setting the events of the [[Johto]] saga in motion. Eventually, Pryce was able to capture {{adv|Celebi}} and enter time, only to lose Celebi as the [[GS Ball]] containing it was shattered, causing him to be unable to override time any further. However, the baby Lapras, La Glace, was able to enter the time in which Pryce's Lapras were separated, and the family enjoyed a happy reunion while Pryce was eventually lost in time. The child Lapras first appeared in ''[[PS143|Irked Igglybuff and Curmudgeonly Cleffa]]'' and the parents appeared in ''[[PS180|The Last Battle XIV]]''.

One Lapras figure has been released.
* {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}: {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Lapras|15}}
 
==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Lapras was originally going to be called "Ness", a reference to the {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}}.
* Lapras's appearance has had minor alterations during the early years of the franchise. In the documents for the [[Capsule Monsters]] pitch, Lapras was drawn without its curly ears. Furthermore, it was depicted with teeth in its [[Generation I]] official artwork and in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

[[File:Photo Spot Azure Bay.png|thumb|200px|Riding on Lapras in [[Azure Bay]]]]
* Lapras is one of two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to use telepathy to speak to humans in a regular episode of the {{pkmn|anime}}. The other is {{p|Ralts}}.
* In [[Generation II]] games, a Lapras icon represents Lapras, {{p|Seel}}, or {{p|Dewgong}} at the [[party]] screen.
* In Generation II games, when any Pokémon except {{p|Pikachu}} uses {{m|Surf}} to travel over [[water tile|bodies of water]], the player appears to be controlling a Lapras. This surfing Lapras shares the same color palette as the player, therefore it is red if the player is {{ga|Ethan|male}} ([[File:GSC Surf M.png]]) or blue if the player is {{ga|Kris|female}} ([[File:C Surf F.png]]).
* In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Lapras has a unique 3D model when {{m|surf}}ing, whereas all other surfing Pokémon are depicted as dark blobs. This may be an homage to the [[Generation II]] surfing sprites, or Lapras's role as a means of transport.
** A Shiny Lapras uses the same 3D model as a regular one while surfing.
** In [[Photography#Pokémon X and Y|photos]] taken at [[Azure Bay]], the {{player}} is seen riding a Lapras even if no Lapras is in the party.
* Lapras is the only {{type|Ice}} to have a [[Gigantamax]] form.
* Lapras can learn the most [[one-hit knockout move]]s of any Pokémon (excluding {{p|Smeargle}}), being able to learn {{m|Sheer Cold}}, {{m|Fissure}}, and {{m|Horn Drill}}.
* The company logos for [[Poké Job|Surf Shipping and Lapras Shipwrights]] depict Lapras.

===Origin===
Lapras may be based on the fabled {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}} in {{wp|Scotland}}. The creature and this Pokémon resemble an extinct order of marine reptiles known as {{wp|Plesiosauria}}, who lived between the {{wp|Triassic}} and {{wp|Cretaceous}} periods. Lapras's shell and horn may be inspired by {{wp|Placodontia|placodonts}} (close relatives of plesiosaurs that lived during the Triassic period). Its intelligence, singing, and rarity can be comparable to some {{wp|cetacea}}ns, especially {{wp|blue whale}}s and {{wp|humpback whale}}s. Its long neck and robust body may also be inspired by the mastheads and hulls of {{wp|Viking}} ships. In addition, its shell, combined with its aquatic nature and history of being hunted to near extinction may be based on {{wp|Sea turtle|sea turtles}}.
 
As suggested in [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]], Lapras could be the turtle ridden by the folklore hero {{wp|Taro Urashima}}. This is also implied by its category the transport Pokémon along with it often being presented in various pieces of media as a form of transportation across bodies of water.
 
Gigantamax Lapras may be based on a {{wp|cruise ship}} or possibly a {{wp|music box}} or {{wp|ocarina}}.
 
====Name origin====
Lapras may be derived from ''Laplace''.
 
Laplace may be a reference to {{wp|Pierre-Simon Laplace}}, a mathematician who wrote several books on the mathematical properties of the sea and tides. Alternatively, Laplace may be derived from ''la place'' (French for seat), referring to how passengers sit on its back like a seat to be ferried across bodies of water.
