# Lugia EX (Japanese) #086-team-plasma — EX Battle Boost

## Summary

Lugia has been the guardian of the whirlpool seas since Gold and Silver, a Pokémon fans love for its quiet, protective presence, and here it arrives in Team Plasma colours as a full-art EX. Pale blue lightning crackles around its head against a swirl of icy teal. The Japanese Lugia-EX came out in July 2013 in EX Battle Boost, months ahead of its English release in November, a card that now sits in the set called Treasures. The modelled guide sits at $9.00; no PSA population is on file.
