Collector Insights

Lugia is a Colorless-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring a retreat cost of three Colorless Energy cards. It has two attacks: Psychic, which deals 10 damage multiplied by the number of Energy cards attached to the defending Pokémon, and Steam Blast, which inflicts 50 damage and requires discarding an attached Energy card. The card includes a unique ability called Crystal Type, allowing Lugia to temporarily shift its type to Fire, Water, or Psychic when a corresponding basic Energy card is attached from the player’s hand. This ability activates during the turn the Energy is attached, altering Lugia’s type for that turn only. Lugia’s weaknesses include a Psychic-type attack with double damage, making it vulnerable to such strategies. The card was released as part of the Aquapolis set in January 2003, belonging to the E-Card series. It is classified as a Rare Secret card, emphasizing its collectibility and rarity within the Pokémon TCG.
