Provenance

Where it came from

The Lapras ex card was released as part of the EX Ruby & Sapphire expansion, which debuted in the Western market in 2003. This set marked a significant shift in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, introducing the 'ex' mechanic to replace the previous 'Pokémon-e' format. These cards were designed to represent more powerful versions of Pokémon, featuring higher hit points and specialized attacks, which fundamentally changed the competitive landscape of the game at the time.

The card features artwork by Hiromichi Sugiyama, a prolific illustrator known for his dynamic and clean style during the early 2000s era of the franchise. The design emphasizes the 'ex' aesthetic through a distinctive holographic treatment and a unique border design that distinguished the ultra-rare cards from standard holos. Upon release, it was highly sought after by both players for its utility in water-themed decks and by collectors, cementing its status as one of the hallmark cards of the early third-generation expansion.
