LUGIA EX:
Working best with Dragonite d (HP) and Blaziken (PK), Lugia
ex is a nice solution to high HP Pokemon like Tyranitar ex,
Salamence ex, and others.
Silver Sparkle is borderline useless, and sometimes even
counterproductive when returning energy to a Pokemon that is
going to be knocked out next.
However, whenever Lugia ex is active, you have probably
opened with it or just used Elemental Blast, and won't be
following up with another one. This
makes Silver Sparkle occasionally useful.

My name is Lugia ex
Your Pokemon won’t last
I wipe out everything
With my Elemental Blast
Unlimited: Nope ER and SER
will destroy it.
Rating : 1/5
Modified: Nice card here but
really depends on the Deck your playing it in.
The only good deck this thing will fit in is
MetaNite. Just watch out for Psychic Pokemon
after you did Elemental Blast.
Rating : 2.5/5
Limited: Sure take it 3 for
200 >_< = Kill everthing. You need to discard
that’s a downside here but still it’s 200.

Lugia ex
Ahh... the absolute biggest hitter in modified. There
aren't really THAT many decks that can use it in the
current format, but it's still a pretty scary card.
After all, it's basically a guaranteed KO in almost
every plausible situation.
The body isn't the greatest, but it can be useful every
now and then by slowing your opponent down a turn
energy-wise. Having a body makes it Zzzap-able. however.
The most obvious deck to abuse Lugia ex in is Metanite.
Drop Lugia on your bench, and if you have two Dragonite
d's on your bench and a Holon's Castform in your hand,
you can immediately hit for 200. Some people would
rather play Lati@s*, but Lugia ex seems to be a much
more reliable card even though it runs the risk of
giving up two prizes. This CAN work with Metagross DX,
but it takes two turns so Lati@s* is probably a better
choice in that deck. The return of Firestarter Blaziken
in Power Keepers gives you another option. You can also
try some variant of Crush Draw Tyranitar.
Psychic weakness hurts right now with Banette ex running
rampant. Fighting resistance and 1 retreat are decent.
3.5 / 5

Lugia EX is ok three energies for 200 is awesome but
discarding three different energies is kinda Eww...
The Pokebody is meh.. Cause more likely then not your
only gonna get hit once and send an energy back to the
hand.

Lugia ex-Lugia used to be HAWT I mean HOT like you could
crack an egg on the card and watch it boil. Now with the
rotation of LBS lugia has sizzled down a bit. At first I
thought lugia was a bad card but LBS showed me how good
it could actually be. Now that LBS is gone I still have
hope 3 for 200 is ridiculuos and with holon's pokemon to
count as energy it is incredibly easy to do. Great body
and Hp and only one retreat. What is there not to like?
