Shadow Lugia (Japanese: ダークルギア Dark Lugia) is a Psychic-type Basic Pokémon card. It was released as a promotional card. It is illegal in tournaments because of it's jumbo size and it's record high HP and Damage. If it was a real card, it would be the best, and nearly unbeatable.

Release information

This card was released as a promotional card. The English version was distributed at the Nintendo World Store in New York in October 2005.

Trivia

• The card depicts XD001, the shadow Lugia from Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
• This card lists the logo from Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness instead of an illustrator.
• This is one of several 'spoof' cards that usually feature exclusively in Japanese releases. This card is, so far, the only such card to appear outside Japan.
• This card was released as a Jumbo card and was therefore not legal to use in tournaments or official events.

Origin

• Shadow Storm is an actual shadow move in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. XD001 knows this move prior to purification, regaining Hydro Pump in its place upon being purified.
