==Summary==
Lapras, the Transport Pokémon, is a Water-/Ice- Type, plesiosaur-based Pokémon. It is known to be quite gentle, able to read the minds of others, and understand human speech. It loves to carry humans and other Pokémon on its back. Because of their gentle nature, this Pokémon rarely fights, and due to this, it has been caught and poached to near extinction, starting a conservation effort. It is known to sing an enchanting cry when in a good mood, but in the evenings, it sings plaintively as it seeks what few others of its kind remain. Thankfully, by the time of Sun and Moon, protective regulations have saved the species, so much that there's an overabundance in Alola.
Fun Fact: Lapras can learn the most OHKO moves out of any Pokémon, without the use of Sketch, at three.
