* {{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. When the player and partner had to get to the Hidden Land to save the world, Lapras responded to the presence of the [[Relic Fragment]] that matched the pattern on the wall, shooting a beam into the sea, summoning 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|X and Y}}: If the {{player}} {{m|Surf}}s on a Lapras, it will appear on the overworld map as it's being ridden, as opposed to a generic shape. The player will be seen riding a Lapras when taking a [[photography#Pokémon X and Y|photo]] at [[Azure Bay]], regardless if one is in the party or not.

* In [[Generation VI]], 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 ( [[File:GSC Surf M.png]] [[File:C Surf F.png]] ), which greatly resemble Lapras, or Lapras's role as a means of transport.
