1Aquapolis was an e-Card-era set notorious for scarce holos and brutal pull rates, and Lugia is the card it's remembered for. Clean high-grade survivors are genuinely rare, which keeps it among the most valuable non-promo Lugia cards.

2Neo Genesis launched the Generation II era in English in 2000, and Lugia — the mascot of Pokémon Silver and the second film — was its standout holo. As the debut main-set card of one of the franchise's flagship legendaries, the Neo Genesis Lugia is the cornerstone of any Lugia collection.

8A Lugia LEGEND card — part of the short-lived 'LEGEND' mechanic where one Pokémon was split across two cards you had to collect and play together. Shinji Higuchi's artwork runs continuously across both halves, so a complete Lugia LEGEND is really a two-card pairing.
