Notes:

1. The common domesticated Lapras.
The common Lapras is often used by people in costal cities and towns as a means of water transportation. Many small ocianic communities raise large herds of the gentle pokemon, and some trainers make a living ferrying travelers across local waterways. They are bred to have smith shells and even temperaments to make training them easier. Although the common Lapras can still be trained for battle, it is not as well suited for it as some of their more highly specialized cousins.

With their long, slender necks and elegant fins, this highly refined pedigree breed is very popular at pokemon contests. Slightly smaller than the common Lapras, they often have a higher speed stat.

These fearsome creatures are specially bred for combat, with thicker skin, longer horns, and higher than average attack stats, they can be tricky opponents. Their spiny shells mean they generally cannot be ridden without a special saddle.

Wild lapras tens to stick to deeper water, migrating closer to shore once a year to lay eggs in the sand on small islands. With a thick shell and wide fins, they are well known for their high defense. Much bigger than their domesticated cousins, they are a favorite pokemon of off-shore researchers and deep-sea divers. If they can be caught, of corse.
