Lugia full art cards start with the Japanese Lugia V alt art, Paradigm Trigger 110/098, illustrated by kawayoo. The official database labels it SR; our product listing adds SA to identify this artwork. The regular 079/098 and the other SR, 109/098, are separate prints with different illustrators.
Match the set code and full number before comparing prices or sending a sourcing request. We ship Japanese sealed product and singles out of Tokyo.
Check S12 and the full card number first. Lugia V 110/098 is kawayoo’s alternate artwork; 109/098 is the 5ban Graphics full art; 079/098 is Mitsuhiro Arita’s regular RR. The two SR prints have different illustrations. VSTAR 118/098 HR and 123/098 UR are separate cards again. Match the print, language and grade before comparing an offer.
- A new full-art table lists seven Lugia prints with set mark, number, rarity and the illustrator where this guide names one. For the wider set, use the Paradigm Trigger S12 card list.
- Store back-order listings were checked on October 22, 2026. USD figures convert at ¥154/USD, approximate.
- Shining Lugia is a real SM3+ 058/072 card; the 30th Celebration Lugia guide covers the later set and the M6a 142/103 Crystal Lugia reprint.
Lugia Full Art Cards: Japanese SR, HR and UR Prints
Collectors use “full art” for prints whose artwork fills the whole card face. Japanese sets do not print those words: the official card database prints only a rarity code, and the full-art treatments are the SR (full-art ex and Supporter cards), SAR (Special Art Rare), AR (Art Rare), CHR / CSR (Character Rare) and the gold UR and rainbow HR printings.
| Card | Set mark · number | Rarity | Illustrator | Our listing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lugia V (alternate art, store label SA) | S12 110/098 | SR | kawayoo | offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥198,180 (~$1,287) |
| Lugia V | S12 109/098 | SR | 5ban Graphics | offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥13,451 (~$87) |
| Lugia VSTAR | S12 118/098 | HR | PLANETA Mochizuki | offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥17,867 (~$116) |
| Lugia VSTAR | S12 123/098 | UR | PLANETA Mochizuki | offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥27,812 (~$181) |
| Lugia GX | SM8 108/095 | HR | — | offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥149,904 (~$973) |
| Lugia GX | SM8 100/095 | SR | PLANETA Igarashi | not listed |
| Lugia EX | BW7 074/070 | SR | — | offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥2,900,466 (~$18,834) |
For how the term works across sets, see our full art Pokemon cards guide; graded Lugia prints across eras are compared in our Lugia PSA 10 Japanese Pokemon cards guide.
Lugia V Alt Art: The Card Everyone Means
Alternate artwork
Full art
Regular RR
Compare these illustrations, then read the full number on the card. Both 109/098 and 110/098 carry SR, so the rarity letters alone cannot identify the artwork. A graded listing should also match the card number on the label.
The official Japanese entry identifies Lugia V 110/098, SR, Paradigm Trigger, illustrated by kawayoo. Our listing uses “SR:SA” to identify this artwork; SA is not shown as a separate rarity in that database entry.
The card has HP 220 and regulation mark F. Its two attacks share their text with 079/098 and 109/098: かぜよみ discards one card from your hand and then draws three; エアロダイブ does 130 damage and allows you to discard a Stadium in play. Identical effect text does not make the illustrated print or listing price identical.
Use the full card number and illustrator to distinguish these three Japanese versions:
| Version | Japanese number | Database rarity | HP / regulation mark | Illustrator | PSA 10 back order, Oct. 22 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regular Lugia V | 079/098 | RR | 220 / F | Mitsuhiro Arita | ¥13,190 (~$86) |
| Lugia V, other SR | 109/098 | SR | 220 / F | 5ban Graphics | ¥13,451 (~$87) |
| Alternate art, store label SA | 110/098 | SR | 220 / F | kawayoo | ¥198,180 (~$1,287) |
The official entries for 079/098 and 109/098 confirm the numbers and illustrator credits.
The two SR cards share the same set and rarity label. 109/098 identifies the 5ban Graphics print; 110/098 identifies kawayoo artwork. Comparing the full number avoids treating a listing for one as a price for the other.
The official Japanese database also lists Lugia V promos 322/S-P and 324/S-P. They carry different promo numbers from the S12 cards above. A sourcing request should name the specific promo rather than only “Lugia V”.
Lugia Full Art (Paradigm Trigger 109/098): How It Differs from the Alt Art
Lugia V 109/098 is the other SR print in Paradigm Trigger, illustrated by 5ban Graphics. It shares HP 220 and the printed effects of 110/098, while the artwork differs. The lowest asking price on SNKRDUNK on September 18, 2026 was ¥3,650; selected PSA10-labelled asks were ¥9,500, ¥17,999 and ¥39,999. These are individual asking prices.
Check our PSA10 Lugia V 109/098 listing. For the regular RR, check our PSA10 Lugia V 079/098 listing. Compare each listing against the matching number and grade.
What It’s Asking: September 18, 2026 Market Data
Asking prices from SNKRDUNK’s Lugia V 110/098 listing on September 18, 2026, at 16:47 JST are shown below. The product-level lowest ask and individual graded seller rows are different observations:
| Condition | Asking price (Sept 18, 2026) |
|---|---|
| Product-level lowest ask | ¥90,000 |
| PSA 10 (single listing) | ¥185,000 |
| PSA 10 (single listing) | ¥260,000 |
| PSA 10 (single listing) | ¥325,000 |
| PSA 10 (single listing) | ¥348,000 |
Each PSA10 figure is a single seller ask, not a completed sale or an average. It does not establish trading volume, scarcity, demand or the cause of a price difference.
When comparing an offer with this table, match the Japanese 110/098 print and PSA grade first. A lower-grade card, the 109/098 SR or a differently numbered English printing is a different comparison. Review the product photographs and listing details rather than using “Lugia V” alone as the identifier.
Check our PSA10 110/098 listing for current price and availability. Browse related graded listings in the PSA10 collection; sourcing requests go through Quick Order. A store listing and a seller ask on another marketplace remain separate price observations.

Lugia VSTAR: Regular, Rainbow, and Gold Secret
The official Japanese database lists three S12 Lugia VSTAR versions: 080/098 RRR, 118/098 HR and 123/098 UR. All three credit PLANETA Mochizuki, have HP 280 and carry regulation mark F. The HR and UR are separate rarity treatments, rather than additional V alt-art cards.
| Version | Japanese number | Rarity | HP | Regulation mark | Illustrator | Matching route |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regular VSTAR | 080/098 | RRR | 280 | F | PLANETA Mochizuki | Request this print |
| VSTAR HR | 118/098 | HR | 280 | F | PLANETA Mochizuki | ¥17,867 (~$116) PSA 10 back order |
| VSTAR UR | 123/098 | UR | 280 | F | PLANETA Mochizuki | ¥27,812 (~$181) PSA 10 back order |
The HR is the rainbow treatment; the UR is the gold treatment. The official entries for 080/098, 118/098 and 123/098 let you check each number. These are Lugia VSTAR prints, not additional versions of the 110/098 Lugia V alternate artwork.
The separate Japanese promo 325/S-P credits PLANETA Igarashi. The official entry lists Lugia VSTAR with HP 280, so check the promo number and illustrator when distinguishing it from the S12 versions.
Check the current price and availability of our PSA10 listings: 118/098 HR, 123/098 UR, and promo 325/S-P. Sourcing requests for other specifications go through Quick Order.
Our dedicated Lugia VSTAR & V, Paradigm Trigger (s12) Japanese prints PSA 10 guide has the full pricing breakdown across all three VSTAR tiers.
The Vintage Line: Neo Genesis to LEGEND
Lugia listings also span older Japanese formats. Keep the set, full number, edition and grade together when making a comparison.
Japanese old-back Lugia: promos and Premium File 3
Our older Japanese Lugia listings include PSA10 Lugia GB2 Old Back/PROMO neo-P No.249, and PSA10 Lugia Old Back No.249 from Premium File 3. These are distinct listing identities even though both use No.249. The old-back names and edition descriptions here follow the separate product listings; No.249 alone does not distinguish these offers.
Check the separate Lugia promo 047/L-P PSA10 listing. Its full promo number keeps it distinct from either old-back No.249 product. Matching a Pokédex number alone is insufficient when comparing these listings.
Japanese e-Card Crystal Lugia: e3 090/087
Our original Crystal Lugia listing identifies PSA10 Lugia Crystal type, 1ED, e3 090/087, Wind from the Sea. Check that product page for its current back-order offer, or send an exact-print sourcing request through Quick Order. The e3 number and edition description here follow the product listing.
The later 30th CELEBRATION reprint is M6a 142/103. It has its own official entry and dated marketplace asks. Our Crystal Lugia reprint-versus-original guide separates the editions and condition labels instead of treating their prices as like-for-like.
Lugia ex and later EX prints
Keep lowercase ex and uppercase EX product names tied to their full card numbers. Our listings include PSA10 Lugia ex CLF 017/032, request PSA10 Lugia EX RR 1ED XY7 068/081 through Quick Order, and PSA10 Lugia EX SR 1ED BW7 074/070.
The official card database confirms XY7 068/081 and credits Eske Yoshinob. The CLF and BW7 SR edition and grade descriptions here follow our product listings. Check the exact set and number rather than applying the XY7 card details to those other prints.
Lugia LEGEND — the two-piece card
The official Japanese entry covers Lugia LEGEND 029/070 and 030/070 and credits Shinji Higuchi. Both halves appear under the same entry. Our PSA10 Lugia LEGEND listing, L1-S 029–030/070, gives the current back-order offer; sourcing requests also go through Quick Order. Confirm whether a seller is offering both halves or a single half. The official Lugia LEGEND entry identifies 029/070 as the upper part and 030/070 as the lower part.
Marketplace offers can specify a pair or an individual half. On September 18, 2026, SNKRDUNK product-level lowest asks were ¥34,800 for a 029–030/070 listing and ¥59,800 for a 030/070 listing. Those identities differ; the numbers do not establish a per-half value or a pair discount.
Our Lugia Neo Genesis No.249 Old Back/Promo vs. Premium File 3 guide compares these old-back Neo prints card by card.
Shining Lugia: Identifying SM3+ 058/072
Shining Lugia is a real Japanese card: ひかるルギア, SM3+ 058/072, from Shining Legends (強化拡張パック「ひかる伝説」). The official card entry uses the set label SM3p, and the official product page dates the set to July 15, 2017. The official database credits Hitoshi Ariga and identifies a Basic Colorless Pokémon with HP 130 and regulation mark A. Use that full number when looking for this Japanese print.
The lowest asking price on SNKRDUNK on September 18, 2026 was ¥18,500. A selected seller row at that figure was labelled PSA8 or below; it should not be read as a PSA10 price. Our PSA10 Shining Lugia is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥118,404 (~$769). That back-order price and the historical lower-grade marketplace observation are different comparisons.
Our dedicated Shining Lugia SM3+ 058/072 guide covers this print’s market data and grading detail in full.
Other Modern Lugia Cards
The Japanese print number also distinguishes Lugia EX, BREAK, GX and other modern cards.
| Card | Japanese set / number | Illustrator | Source detail |

| Lugia ex | SVM 097/175 | 5ban Graphics | Start Deck Generations Lugia ex & Tyranitar ex |
Check our PSA10 Lugia GX HR SM8 108/095 listing. The HR identity and grade description here follow our product listing; keep SM8 108/095 separate from the 072/095 and 100/095 entries in the table. For grading and identification context, see the Japanese PSA10 price guide.
Our Lugia ex/EX/GX/LEGEND Japanese cards guide (Classic CLF 017/032, XY7, BW7) rounds up pricing across these EX-era, GX, and LEGEND prints in one place.
The 30th CELEBRATION set (M6a), released September 16, 2026, includes the special-specification Crystal Lugia reprint at 142/103. The official card entry identifies this distinct modern printing. See our 30th Celebration Lugia guide and our Crystal Lugia 142/103 vs. Original e3 090/087 guide for card text, reprint context and dated market asks.
How to Buy Lugia Cards from Japan
The linked PSA products in this guide are back-order procurement offers. Their listing asks do not establish held inventory. Confirm current sourcing availability and dispatch terms on each product page before ordering.
For a specific card or grade without a displayed price, use the sourcing process:
- Tell us the exact card. Set, number, and grade (raw or PSA 10) through our Quick Order want-list process. Because Lugia’s numbering overlaps so heavily between similar-looking prints — V vs. full art vs. alt art, or Neo Genesis vs. a later reprint — the more specific the request, the faster we can match it.
- Compare graded offers. Our PSA 10 collection is a route to related graded product listings.
- Compare singles with sealed product. Browse the Japanese Pokémon collection and the Paradigm Trigger guide. For the card catalogue, use the S12 card list. A sealed product does not guarantee a particular Lugia.
- Weigh raw vs. graded before you commit. Compare the exact print and listed condition before weighing a raw card against a graded listing. Our PSA 10 vs. raw comparison guide walks through how to think about that tradeoff.
- Buying more than one card? Our guide to buying PSA 10 cards in bulk from Japan covers how to structure a multi-card want-list order efficiently.
For readers comparing legendary Pokémon cards across sets, our Giratina cards guide covers a comparable alt-art-plus-vintage-line case study, and our booster box vs. high-class pack comparison is useful background if you’re deciding how to chase a fresh copy of a current-era alt art rather than buying one already pulled.
Frequently Asked Questions
What set is the Lugia V alt art from?
The Japanese Lugia V alt art is Paradigm Trigger S12 110/098, illustrated by kawayoo. The official database labels it SR; our listing adds SA to distinguish the artwork from the 109/098 SR print.
What makes the Lugia V alternate artwork different?
The 110/098 print shows Lugia in flight in a full-card scene illustrated by kawayoo. It differs from the regular 079/098 illustration by Mitsuhiro Arita and the 109/098 full art by 5ban Graphics. Check the full number as well as the picture: both 109/098 and 110/098 carry the printed rarity SR.
How much is a PSA 10 Lugia V alt art worth?
Selected PSA10-labelled SNKRDUNK seller asks on September 18, 2026 were ¥185,000, ¥260,000, ¥325,000 and ¥348,000. These are individual asks, not completed sales or an average. Check our PSA10 listing for current price and availability.
How do I distinguish older Japanese Lugia cards?
For older Japanese Lugia, distinguish the No.249 neo-P GB2 promo from the No.249 Premium File 3 print and the later 047/L-P promo. The old-back identities here follow our separate product listings. Match the artwork, edition and label as well as No.249; this comparison does not establish which Lugia card was released first.
Can I buy Lugia cards from Japan through your store?
Check our PSA10 Lugia V 110/098 listing for current price and availability. For another specification or a listing without a price, sourcing requests go through Quick Order. Include the set, number, edition and grade.
Which Lugia cards are full art?
The full-art Lugia prints in this guide are Lugia V SR 110/098 and 109/098, Lugia VSTAR HR 118/098 and UR 123/098 (all S12), Lugia GX HR SM8 108/095, Lugia GX SR SM8 100/095 and Lugia EX SR BW7 074/070. Collectors use “full art” for artwork that fills the card face; Japanese sets print only the rarity code.
