Strategy & play
How Lapras plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Not a main attacker — its job is energy acceleration. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
- Needs Water Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Water type, weak to Metal ×2 — a Metal attacker doing ≥55 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
How to beat Lapras
- Exploit its Metal weakness — ≥55 damage one-shots it.
- KO it to choke their draw / search engine.

About this card
"They have gentle hearts. Because they rarely fight, many have been caught. Their number has dwindled."

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Lapras is real?
Lapras is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
