This Lugia (No. 249) holographic Rare trading card comes from the 2000 Japanese Neo Genesis expansion of the Pokémon TCG. It showcases Lugia soaring with powerful wings, illustrated by Hironobu Yoshida against a shimmering star-pattern holofoil background that captures the Gen-II deep-sea legend theme. The card features Lugia’s 90-damage “Elemental Blast” attack (discarding one Fire, Water, and Lightning Energy), highlighting its trio-of-elements motif. As Lugia’s debut card in the TCG, this Japanese holo rare is highly prized by collectors for its classic artwork, vintage appeal, and nostalgic significance.
