Provenance

Where it came from

The Lapras V card was introduced in early 2020 as part of the Sword & Shield base expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set marked the transition of the game into the eighth generation of Pokémon, debuting the 'V' mechanic which replaced the previous GX and EX formats. Lapras, a fan-favorite Generation I water-type creature, was selected to showcase this new gameplay style, which features high hit-point totals and powerful, single-turn attack capabilities.

The artwork for this card was illustrated by a frequent contributor to the franchise, 5ban Graphics. The studio utilized a distinct 3D-rendered aesthetic characteristic of the V-series, emphasizing the Pokémon's sleek design against a high-contrast, energetic background. The card was well-received by players and collectors upon release, serving as a functional staple in early Sword & Shield era water-based decks due to its reliable ability to search for energy cards.
