It was released on September 16, 2026. The printed size is 128. This checklist is longer, at 161 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Elemental Blast lists 250 damage. The cost is Fire, Water, Lightning. Discard a Fire Energy, a Water Energy, and a Lightning Energy from this Pokémon. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30. Retreat cost is 2. The regulation mark is J.

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 lists 90 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Hironobu Yoshida illustrated that card, and Kazuki Minami illustrated this one. 36 other cards of Lugia list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kazuki Minami. I count 1 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

30th Celebration set binder is where a full 30th Celebration 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). I still need this card.
