Lapras ex 99/109 · Ruby & Sapphire

Lapras is Pokédex #131, generation 1 (Kanto). Lapras ex is a Basic ex Water Pokémon with 110 HP.

Lapras ex sits at 99/109 in Ruby & Sapphire, position 99 of 109. Before it is 98 Hitmonchan ex, and after it is 100 Magmar ex. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on July 1, 2003. The printed size is 109, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo EX.

The attack Energy Ball lists 10+ damage. The cost is Water. Does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy attached to Lapras ex but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. You can't add more than 20 damage in this way. Confuse Ray is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Colorless. The Defending Pokémon is now Confused. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The card text says: When Pokémon-ex has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

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 is named Lapras, while this one is Lapras ex. That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo EX. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Hikaru Koike illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 40 other cards of Lapras list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hikaru Koike. I count 46 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Ruby & Sapphire set binder is where a full Ruby & Sapphire 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.
