Where it came from
The Lapras card 17/101 was released in August 2013 as part of the Plasma Blast expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was the eighth installment in the Black & White series and centered heavily on the Team Plasma narrative arc, which featured Pokémon augmented by advanced technological components. The inclusion of Lapras serves as a staple representation of the Water type, fitting into the set's broader exploration of the Unova region's ecosystem and its integration with the Team Plasma storyline.
The artwork for this card was provided by illustrator Midori Harada, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon franchise known for her vibrant and clean aesthetic. In this piece, she focuses on a classic, serene depiction of Lapras in a maritime setting, contrasting with the more aggressive, technologically altered aesthetic prevalent elsewhere in the Plasma Blast set. As a common rarity card, it was designed primarily for accessibility within booster packs, serving as a functional piece for players and a thematic touchstone for collectors of the Black & White generation.
