Lugia 005/028 (JP)

Lugia features in the 25th Anniversary Collection, the Japanese set issued to celebrate 25 years of Pokemon. The set brings together a selection of standout Pokemon from across the generations, and Lugia, the Legendary Pokemon of the Johto era, is a natural fit. As a box legendary that has stayed popular since its debut, it carries real weight within an anniversary line up.

The number 005/028 places this card within the standard numbered run, so it is not a secret rare, since the first number does not exceed the set total of 028. The 25th Anniversary Collection is a small set, which gives each card a sense of occasion, and the commemorative branding adds an extra layer of appeal for collectors who follow milestone releases.

For fans of Johto legendaries or anyone building a collection around the franchise anniversary, a clean Lugia from this set is a strong piece to feature in the binder.
