Collector’s notes

Lugia 149/147 (Aquapolis)
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 ex 105/115 (Unseen Forces)
Lugia ex from Unseen Forces shows Lugia in glossy, computer-rendered art by Hikaru Koike, its pale body bending forward with wings swept back against a dark, streaked background. The whole card carries the sparkly holo border of the EX era ex cards. Lugia has a devoted following, and this ex from Unseen Forces is one of the cards fans of the Legendary Pokémon want.
Lugia-EX 134/135 (Plasma Storm)
Lugia-EX fills the frame in this full art from Plasma Storm, its pale body coiled tight against a dark, crackling backdrop of blue lightning while the Team Plasma shield looms over its shoulder. Art by Toyste Beach gives it a sleek, menacing look rarely seen on Lugia. Collectors chase it for Lugia's huge following and the textured full art treatment of the Black & White era.
