Pokémon: Lugia Series: Black White Set: Promos Card Number: BW83 Rarity: R Condition: N/A Grade: Raw Year: 2017 Illustrator: Eske Yoshinob The Lugia EX card, numbered BW83, is a legendary Rare Holo EX promo from the Black White series of the Pokémon TCG. As a Basic Colorless-type Pokémon with a massive 180 Hit Points, it features the (Team Plasma) trait, a Weakness to Lightning, Resistance to Fighting, and a Retreat Cost of 2. This Raw (non-graded) version is highly prized by collectors for its striking artwork by Toyste Beach and its status as a powerful Black Star Promo distributed in 2013 EX Power tins, making it a centerpiece for Colorless and EX decks. The card’s gameplay revolves around its game-changing Overflow Ability and a single high-impact attack. Overflow forces the opponent to yield 1 additional Prize Card whenever Lugia EX knocks out an opposing Pokémon with its attack, effectively turning a standard 2-Prize knockout into a 3-Prize swing that accelerates victory. Its primary offensive move, Plasma Gale, costs four Colorless Energy and deals a devastating 120 damage, but requires the player to discard a Plasma Energy attached to Lugia EX; if no Plasma Energy is present, the attack fails, demanding careful energy management and synergy with cards like Colress or Plasma Energy itself. Collectors and competitive players value BW83 for its high-risk, high-reward prize acceleration mechanic and iconic status in the Expanded format. Whether used to secure a swift win by taking extra prizes or to unleash a massive Plasma Gale knockout, Lugia EX remains a formidable and visually stunning asset for any trainer aiming to master high-stakes strategies in the Pokémon TCG.
