Lapras sits at 35/146 in XY, position 35 of 146. Before it is 34 Starmie, and after it is 36 Corsola. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on February 5, 2014. The printed size is 146, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

The attack Seafaring lists no damage number. The cost is Water. Flip 3 coins. For each heads, attach a Water Energy card from your discard pile to your Benched Pokémon in any way you like. Hydro Pump is another attack lists 10+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 20 more damage for each Water Energy attached to this Pokémon. Weakness is Metal ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "They have gentle hearts. Because they rarely fight, many have been caught. Their number has dwindled."

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 110 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Hitoshi Ariga illustrated this one. 40 other cards of Lapras list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hitoshi Ariga. I count 155 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

XY set binder is where a full XY 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.
