Lapras (No. 131) from the 1998 Japanese Vending Machine Series II set is a rare Water-type Pokémon TCG trading card. The glossy holofoil card features Atsuko Nishida’s classic illustration of Lapras joyously singing atop vibrant blue waves, complete with a star marking its Rare status. It has 60 HP and Sing/Surf (30) attacks, reflecting its late-’90s gameplay era, but its main appeal is nostalgic – it was only released in this Japan-exclusive vending-machine promo series. Collectors prize this vintage Lapras for its classic artwork and scarcity, making it a standout piece in any classic Pokémon card collection.
