Product Description

This is the Shadow Lugia Promo card which is hard to come by, it was only given to press who attended the official Nintendo Pre Electronic Entertainment Expo conference, the Nintendo World store on Oct 2, 2005, and the Pokemon 10th Anniversary March 25, 2006 at the Pokemon 10th Anniversary celebration at Space Center Houston to the five finalists of the Pikachu freeze-dance contest. This card is NOT TOURNAMENT LEGAL, it has the words "Not for Play Use" printed on back. This promotional jumbo card measures about 5-3/4" x 8" and are enlarged Shadow Lugia cards from the Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness booster set.

Despite what most of the reviews state, this IS real. But it is NOT legal for play in any game of Pokemon TCG. Here's the facts about it:

1) It was available multiple times as a promotional giveaway:
2005 at the Nintendo World Store for those who played the Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness demo.
2006 at Space Center Houston as part of the 10th Anniversary Celebration.
2006 at E3 as a very limited distribution later that year.

2) It's large, like the box topper promotional cards. Therefor it is NOT legal in any official events and can't even be placed in a standard deck.

I've been collecting Pokemon for nearly 12 years and like to keep all releases well documented, as I do with other TCG products I collect. Though this is not a standard Pokemon card (it is rather large, has insane stats and is not tournament legal) it's a pretty cool collector's item giving a glimpse into the importance of Shadow Lugia in it's respective game.

I can not vouch for the legitimacy of the product each individual vendor sells, but the product itself is real and does exist. Just make sure you know what you're buying.

This card is fake because is has too much hp and does too much damage. This is a warning do not buy this card and trust me.

This is fake there was no shadow Lugia at E3 plus 1000 attack. The only card that has legit 1000 attack is zoroack. it has 500 HP and 1000 Attack [it cant be used in a real deck or in game] so yeah fake
