Lapras is a majestic Water/Ice-type Pokemon that’s been around since the first generation of Pokemon, and has made a name for itself by being one of Ash Ketchum’s main Pokemon in the anime series, at least in the first few seasons. For Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl players looking to catch themselves a Lapras, this guide will go over any prerequisites and steps to find Lapras’ location in Sinnoh.
Before players get ahead of themselves, they need to be aware that Lapras can only be obtained once trainers become Pokemon League Champion and get the National Dex from Rowan.
How to Get the National Dex in Pokemon BDSP
In order to get the National Dex in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, players must first beat the Elite Four and see all 150 Pokemon in the base Sinnoh Pokedex. Once all of the monsters have been seen, players must head to Sandgem Town and speak with Professor Rowan. He will then add the National Mode to the player’s Pokedex, and new areas will be available for players, as well as “new” Pokemon.
Where to Find Lapras in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
Once Pokemon BDSP players have defeated the Elite Four and obtained the National Dex, they will have access to the area where wild Lapras can be encountered. The easiest way to get to its location is to first use the Hidden Move Fly to travel to the front of the Pokemon League. Lapras is inside of Victory Road, but players need to enter it from the back, or else it’ll take them way too long to find where Lapras is exactly.
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl players should follow these steps exactly to reach Lapras’ location in Victory Road, starting from the Pokemon League itself:
- From the entrance of the League, players should use HM Surf and head south down the waterfall until they reach the entrance/exit of Victory Road.
- Head inside and follow the path, passing the trainer and going down the rocks using Rock Climb.
- Don’t jump over the ledge here. Instead, go to the left and take the first path north, heading under a small bridge.
- When players see a trainer, head up the small staircase to the left of him.
- Cross the path and just follow the path until a door is reached. Go inside the door and then follow the linear path to the next room.
- This room will have fog, so make sure to use Defog from the HM app.
- The bodies of water in this room have a 10% chance of having Lapras inside of them. If trainers really want this Pokemon, they’ll need to just keep Surfing until it pops up.
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are available on the Nintendo Switch.
