Lugia glides across a deep, starry holofoil sky, wings swept back and body arched in a calm, sculpted render illustrated by Naoyo Kimura, with the sparkling foil running through the whole frame. As a Crystal Type secret rare from Aquapolis, it pairs a fan-favorite Legendary Pokémon with one of the scarcest mechanics of the e-Card era, and the fragile yellow borders make clean copies hard to find.

Lugia spreads its wings across a starry holofoil background, its pale body curling diagonally through the frame with a soft glow around the outline, art by Hironobu Yoshida.

Lugia surges through a deep blue underwater scene, wings spread wide and head turned toward you, surrounded by swirling currents and drifting bubbles in a painterly style, art by Takashi Yamaguchi. As a promo from the HeartGold & SoulSilver era, it ties into the return of Johto that made Lugia a favorite again, and its moody ocean palette sets it apart from brighter sky-themed Lugia cards.

This half of Lugia LEGEND, illustrated by Shinji Higuchi, shows a churning wall of seawater in deep blues and sunlit greens, with the dark sweep of Lugia's wing breaking through the spray. Printed sideways, it only makes sense once paired with its other half, which is exactly why collectors hunt both. Lugia's devoted following and the painterly water effects make this split LEGEND a favorite from the HeartGold & SoulSilver era.
