This card was released in the Call of Legends expansion as both a Rare Holographic card and a Shiny Rare Holographic card. The Rare Holographic print features new artwork by Ryo Ueda. In Japan, during the months of May and June 2010, those who bought two LEGEND series booster packs were entered into a drawing to win one of one thousand sets of Lugia and Ho-Oh.
Trivia
Although Lugia is Psychic/Flying in the games, it is depicted here as a Water-type Pokémon. Interestingly, unlike most other part-Flying Pokémon, it has previously been depicted as a Colorless-type just as often as it has as a Psychic-type.
