Provenance

Where it came from

The Lapras card numbered 31/181 was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion titled Team Up, which debuted in early 2019. This set was notable for introducing TAG TEAM Pokémon-GX, a new mechanic featuring two Pokémon on a single card, which represented a shift in the game's competitive focus toward high-risk, high-reward gameplay. The expansion drew from the Sun & Moon era, specifically pulling inspiration from the Alola region's thematic elements and artistic styles.

The artwork for this specific Lapras card was created by Kouki Saitou, a veteran illustrator in the Pokémon TCG world known for a soft, expressive style. Saitou focused on capturing Lapras in a tranquil, aquatic setting, emphasizing its gentle and majestic nature consistent with its Pokédex entries. As a standard rare card within the set, it was designed to be accessible to players and collectors alike, serving as a reliable Water-type addition to decks during the height of the Sun & Moon era's popularity.
