# Lapras #56/214 — Lost Thunder

## Summary

Lapras has been a Gen I favorite since the Red and Blue days, a gentle ferry-Pokémon that collectors keep returning to. Its Go for a Swim ability gave it genuine deck-smoothing appeal, while Sekio's name adds quiet appeal, though a plain Rare sat in the mid-tier of Lost Thunder. The modelled guide sits at $4.54, up 2% over 30 days on 16 copies traded, with 567 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 guides at $46, 10 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
