# Lugia V (Japanese) #109 — S12: Paradigm Trigger

## Summary

A Super Rare in Paradigm Trigger sits in the chase tier, and Lugia V's full-art version is one of the pulls that gave the Japanese edition its draw, released there in October 2022. The silver-white guardian rears up against a burst of yellow-green radial streaks, a vivid backdrop that makes the pale body stand out. Few Pokémon have a following as loyal as Lugia, which is why its Japanese full-art copies hold interest well beyond the set's release window. The modelled guide sits at $17, up 2% over 30 days on 8 copies traded, with 134 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $90, 5.5 times raw, but a 86% gem rate against $65 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
