#31 Lapras - Brilliant Stars (swsh9)
Lapras is a Water-type Pokémon with 130 HP, appearing in the Sword & Shield series as part of the Brilliant Stars set released on February 25, 2022. It is numbered 31 and classified as a Rare card, featuring artwork by Teeziro. The Pokémon’s attack, Raging Freeze, requires two Water and one Colorless Energy to deal 110 damage. When used, it triggers a condition where if any of the player’s Pokémon were Knocked Out by an opponent’s attack during their last turn, the opponent’s Active Pokémon becomes Paralyzed. Lapras has no resistances but is weak to Lightning-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its retreat cost consists of two Colorless Energy, making it a straightforward evolution or support option. The card’s flavor text describes Lapras as a wise and compassionate Pokémon that glides across the sea while singing melodiously. This card’s mechanics emphasize defensive interactions and conditional effects, aligning with its thematic portrayal of harmony with nature.
