Sink Your Foes With Lugia Legend!
Unleash the aquatic power of Lugia LEGEND, one of the amazing new Legend Pokémon in the HeartGold & SoulSilver expansion!
Lugia LEGEND is the second Pokémon LEGEND to be revealed for the HeartGold & SoulSilver Expansion, and it is every bit as amazing as Ho-Oh LEGEND. Like Ho-Oh LEGEND, Lugia LEGEND is actually two cards, with special rules to follow. To play Lugia LEGEND, you must have both halves of the Pokémon in your hand (cards 113/123 and 114/123), and you must play them at the same time. When you do, you’ll form an oversized image of the majestic Pokémon!
Although you play both cards at the same time to form one Pokémon, if you have the opportunity to retrieve a Pokémon from your deck or discard pile, you can retrieve only one of these cards. Since Lugia LEGEND is neither a Basic Pokémon nor an Evolution card, it can’t be played during the setup phase at the beginning of the game, because only Basic Pokémon can be played then. But it also can’t be hit by attacks that target Basic Pokémon or Evolved Pokémon specifically, making it (and other Pokémon LEGENDs) that much more special!
Uniting the two halves of Lugia LEGEND creates a gorgeous image of the Water-type Pokémon emerging from the depths of the water. But when your opponents see what’s in store, they might have a different opinion of its beauty! Use Lugia LEGEND’s Ocean Grow Poké-Power to stock the Pokémon LEGEND with suitable Energy for its upcoming attack. You get to look at the top 5 cards of your deck and attach all Energy cards you find there to Lugia LEGEND, then discard the rest.
Once you have one Fire Energy, one Water Energy, and one Lightning Energy attached, you’re ready to unleash one of the strongest attacks in the game. Elemental Blast delivers an incredible 200 damage! That’s enough damage to devastate virtually any Defending Pokémon in one shot. To use Elemental Blast, you must discard one Fire Energy, one Water Energy, and one Lightning Energy attached to Lugia LEGEND. That’s a small price to pay for such an amazing attack! Given the right Energy in your deck, Lugia LEGEND will be a nearly unstoppable force!
