Lugia #249

Lugia is the guardian of the seas — the silver diving Pokemon that fronts Silver and SoulSilver, and one of the most beloved legendaries in the entire franchise. Its cards are a blue-chip collection in their own right, led by the legendary Crystal Lugia and the iconic Neo Genesis holo, and running deep through every era's chase print.

Lugia is a true flagship line: a $2,400 Crystal grail and a four-figure Neo Genesis holo up top, then a ladder of ex, EX, V, GX, and LEGEND chase cards that almost never dips below $200. Priciest first.
