Lapras, Plasma Blast #17

Lapras is Pokédex #131, generation 1 (Kanto). Lapras is a Basic Water Pokémon with 100 HP.

Lapras sits at 17/101 in Plasma Blast, position 17 of 105. Before it is 16 Blastoise, and after it is 18 Remoraid. The set belongs to the Black & White series. It was released on August 14, 2013. The printed size is 101. This checklist is longer, at 105 cards. The listed rarity is Common.

The attack Cleanse Away lists no damage number. The cost is Water, Colorless. Heal 30 damage from each of your Benched Pokémon. Surf is another attack lists 70 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Metal ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Able to understand human speech and very intelligent, it loves to swim in the sea with people on its back."

Lapras (#131) has 49 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 36 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Lapras 10/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Common. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. 48 other cards of Lapras list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kouki Saitou. I count 652 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Plasma Blast set binder is where a full Plasma Blast set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Lapras can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
