This 2000 Japanese Holo Lugia #249 originates from the Gold, Silver, to a New World expansion, the set that introduced the Johto region to the Pokémon TCG. Featuring the artwork of Hironobu Yoshida, this card highlights the legendary mascot of Pokémon Silver during the franchise's expansion into its second generation. This example is graded a CGC 8.5 NM/MINT+, with a current population of 500 at this tier. Neo Genesis remains one of the most influential sets in the hobby's history, and this Lugia is recognized as the central chase card of that era due to its cultural impact and the introduction of the powerful Elemental Blast mechanic. The early Japanese releases are noted for their distinctive high-quality foil finishes and the classic Japanese pocket monsters card back, both of which are well-preserved here. As the TCG community continues to revisit the Johto era through new game and anime releases, this Lugia serves as a significant historical anchor for the Neo-era sets.Show more
