Lugia (#249) has 38 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 25 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2026. The earliest other card is Lugia 9/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card is named Lugia, while this one is Lugia-EX. That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 180 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo EX. Hironobu Yoshida illustrated that card, and Toyste Beach illustrated this one. 35 other cards of Lugia list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Toyste Beach. I count 284 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Legendary Treasures set binder is where a full Legendary Treasures set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Lugia can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Team Plasma and All Lugia cards. I still need this card.
