The Japanese Lugia V alt art is 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.
This guide separates the Japanese Lugia V and VSTAR numbers, dated SNKRDUNK asking prices, and our graded product listings. It also connects the older e3 Crystal Lugia, old-back listings, Shining Lugia and later ex, EX and GX cards. Match the set code and full number before comparing prices or sending a sourcing request.
The lowest SNKRDUNK asking price for Lugia V 110/098 on September 18, 2026 was ¥90,000. Selected PSA10-labelled seller asks were ¥185,000, ¥260,000, ¥325,000 and ¥348,000. Check our PSA10 listing for current price and availability. These are different listing types and seller conditions, not completed-sale prices.
SNKRDUNK product-level and PSA10-labelled asks are dated September 18 below. Check each product page for current store prices and availability: Lugia V 110/098 — current price and availability, Lugia EX SR 1ED BW7 074/070 — current price and availability, Premium File 3 Lugia — current price and availability, and Lugia GX HR — current price and availability. The 30th Celebration Lugia guide covers 097/103 and the Crystal Lugia 142/103 reprint.

Lugia V Alt Art: The Card Everyone Means
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regular Lugia V | 079/098 | RR | 220 / F | Mitsuhiro Arita |
| Lugia V, other SR | 109/098 | SR | 220 / F | 5ban Graphics |
| Alternate art, store label SA | 110/098 | SR | 220 / F | kawayoo |
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): The Print One Step Down
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 current price and availability. For the regular RR, check our PSA10 Lugia V 079/098 listing for current price and availability. 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. The table contains selected listings, so ¥348,000 is not presented as the highest price across the whole marketplace. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regular VSTAR | 080/098 | RRR | 280 | F | PLANETA Mochizuki |
| VSTAR HR | 118/098 | HR | 280 | F | PLANETA Mochizuki |
| VSTAR UR | 123/098 | UR | 280 | F | PLANETA Mochizuki |
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. Some older prints are absent from the current official online database, so the following sections distinguish the identity given in our listings from the card text that database entries can confirm.
Neo Genesis and Japanese old-back Lugia
Our older Japanese Lugia listings include PSA10 Lugia GB2 Old Back/PROMO neo-P No.249 — current price and availability, and PSA10 Lugia Old Back No.249 from Premium File 3 — current price and availability. These are distinct listing identities even though both use No.249. Neither old-back entry is listed in the current official card database.
Check the separate Lugia promo 047/L-P PSA10 listing for current price and availability. 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.
Aquapolis and the e-Card Crystal Lugia
Our original Crystal Lugia listing identifies PSA10 Lugia Crystal type, 1ED, e3 090/087, Wind from the Sea. It displays no price; sourcing requests go through Quick Order. The older e3 print is not listed in the official online database.
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 — current price and availability, PSA10 Lugia EX RR 1ED XY7 068/081 — current price and availability, and PSA10 Lugia EX SR 1ED BW7 074/070 — current price and availability.
The official card database confirms XY7 068/081 and credits Eske Yoshinob. It does not list the CLF or BW7 SR entry at those specific numbers; their edition and grade descriptions here are attributed to our product listings, without adding unsupported original-card text.
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, displays no price; sourcing requests go through Quick Order.
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.
The “Shining Lugia” Myth
Shining Lugia exists as ひかるルギア, SM3+ 058/072, from 強化拡張パック「ひかる伝説」. 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. Check our PSA10 Shining Lugia listing for current price and availability.
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. The table below is a selection of identities, not a complete Lugia catalogue or a price ranking:
| Card | Japanese set / number | Illustrator | Source detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lugia EX | BW7 059/070 / プラズマゲイル | Toyste Beach | Official database entry; separate from the store-listed 074/070 SR |
| Lugia EX | XY7 068/081 / バンデットリング | Eske Yoshinob | Official database entry |
| Lugia BREAK | XY10 059/078 / めざめる超王 | 5ban Graphics | Official database entry |
| Lugia GX RR / SR | SM8 072/095 / 100/095 / 超爆インパクト | PLANETA Igarashi | Official database entries |
| Lugia | SCS 008/020 | Hasuno | Starter Set VMAX Grimmsnarl |
| Lugia | S3a 055/076 / 伝説の鼓動 | NC Empire | Official database entry |
| Lugia | S8a 005/028 / 25th ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION | Kouki Saitou | Official database entry |
| Lugia ex | SVM 097/175 | 5ban Graphics | Start Deck Generations Lugia ex & Tyranitar ex |
Check our PSA10 Lugia GX HR SM8 108/095 listing for current price and availability. The specific HR entry is not listed in the official online database, so the HR identity here comes from our listing. 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, added two more modern Lugia cards: a new Lugia at 097/103 and a special-specification reprint of the Crystal Lugia at 142/103 — 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 offers. Confirm current sourcing availability and dispatch terms on each product page before ordering. The table gives four examples:
The four rows above are selected examples; other linked listings in this guide include 109/098, VSTAR and Shining Lugia. 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.
- Check what’s already graded. 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.
