Lugia is a large Pokémon that resembles a dragon, a plesiosaur, and a bird. It is primarily pale silver-white, but it has blue undersides with slightly varying tones. It has a ridged mouth similar to a beak, although it has pointed teeth on its lower jaw. Its head has a point to the back, and Lugia’s eyes have pointed blue or black spikes on them. Lugia has a long, slender neck and a smooth, streamlined body | Lugia is a large Pokémon that resembles a dragon, a plesiosaur, and a bird. It is primarily pale silver-white, but it has blue undersides with slightly varying tones. It has a ridged mouth similar to a beak, although it has pointed teeth on its lower jaw. Its head has a point to the back, and Lugia’s eyes have pointed blue or black spikes on them. Lugia has a long, slender neck and a smooth, streamlined body. Dark blue or black plate-like protrusions run down the length of its back, and there are two smaller, more pointed ones on the end of its tail. It can fold back these plates to increase its speed. It has large wings that resemble hands. Though it is genderless, {{jo|Silver|a young Lugia}} has been observed, suggesting that there is a breeding population. [[EP220|Lugia has been shown]] to be fiercely protective of its young. | ||
Lugia leads the [[Legendary birds]]. When they fight over territory, Lugia is the only Pokémon that can quell their ceaseless fighting, as observed in the [[M02|second Pokémon movie]]. Much like the birds, it possesses the ability to control the weather; most notably, it can calm and give rise to storms. It is said that a light flutter of its wings is capable of causing winds powerful enough to tear down cliffs. If it were to flap its wings, it could hypothetically spawn storms lasting as long as 40 days. It is highly intelligent, and because of the devastating power it could accidentally inflict, it isolates itself deep underwater and tends to sleep in solitude. Lugia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Aeroblast}}. It is extremely {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rare}} and is hardly ever seen. | Lugia leads the [[Legendary birds]].

A parent Lugia and its child (nicknamed Silver by [[Oliver]]) lived near [[Silver Rock Isle]] in the [[Whirl Islands]]. [[Dr. Namba]] attempted to capture both the parent Lugia and Silver for {{an|Giovanni}} in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]''. and ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]''. Ash and Misty (Brock was not along with them) act as if this was their first time seeing a Lugia, as if the second movie never took place. Meowth, as well, said that he'd "never seen a Pokémon like that before!" On the contrary, the dub pays mention of the Lugia that was seen in the Orange Islands, with both James and Ash stating that it was "like" the one they'd seen in the Orange Islands. In both versions, Ash first refers to the baby Lugia as a "mysterious Pokémon." | A parent Lugia and its child (nicknamed Silver by [[Oliver]]) lived near [[Silver Rock Isle]] in the [[Whirl Islands]].

{{main|Lugia (M02)}} | |||
Lugia is a major character in the second [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''. Likewise, it appears in the {{ma|Mirage Pokémon Lugia's Explosive Birth|manga adaptation}} of the film by [[Tanigami Toshio]]. | |||
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga=== | ===In the Pokémon Adventures manga=== | ||
[[File:Masked Man Lugia.png|thumb|200px|Lugia in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]] | |||
The [[Masked Man]] apparently caught Lugia twice (its plucked feather item [[Silver and Rainbow Wings|Silver Wing]] is shown under his possession several years ago, only to be stolen by {{Adv|Green}}), but both times it went back to the wild along with {{p|Ho-Oh}}. | |||
The [[Elite Four|Kanto Elite Four]] tried to exterminate humans using Lugia, which appeared as a spirit, in ''[[PS089|The Might of... Metapod?!]]'' of {{PAV|7}} of the {{chap|Yellow}}. It was encountered as a being of shimmering light, when [[Lance]] summoned it to aid his schemes. After they were defeated, it flew to the [[Johto|west]]. It wasn't until much later in ''[[PS145|Sandslash Surprise]]'' that it was properly identified as Lugia. It was battled by the Johto dexholders, in ''[[PS146|Lively Lugia I]]'',''[[PS147|II]]'' and ''[[PS148|III]]'', where it was captured by The Masked Man just before Crystal's attempt. | |||
Besides the two, it was also controlled for some time by [[Will]] and [[Karen]] while they were under the Masked Man's jurisdiction. | |||

''"A Diving Pokémon. A legendary Pokémon often referred to as 'guardian of the seas,' it has the impressive ability to control the wind. Lugia typically spends its time quietly at the bottom of the ocean. Highly powerful in all areas, Lugia's Aeroblast move is especially powerful. It uses strong flapping of its wings to target damage on a foe's weak spot."'' | ''"A Diving Pokémon.

Lugia (Japanese: ルギア Lugia) is a dual-type Psychic/Flying Legendary Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
It is often considered to be part of the Tower duo with Ho-Oh, even sometimes as Ho-Oh's polar opposite. Silver represents Lugia as "guardian of the seas", and Gold represents Ho-Oh as "guardian of the skies." Lugia is also the trio master of the Legendary birds.
Lugia is the game mascot of Pokémon Silver, its remake Pokémon SoulSilver, and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness (as Shadow Lugia), appearing on the boxart of them all.
In Pokémon XD, Shadow Lugia, codenamed XD001, is a main part of the storyline, and Cipher's ultimate Shadow Pokémon.
Biology
Lugia is a large Pokémon that resembles a dragon, a plesiosaur, and a bird. It is primarily pale silver-white, but it has blue undersides with slightly varying tones. It has a ridged mouth similar to a beak, although it has pointed teeth on its lower jaw. Its head has a point to the back, and Lugia’s eyes have pointed blue or black spikes on them. Lugia has a long, slender neck and a smooth, streamlined body. Dark blue or black plate-like protrusions run down the length of its back, and there are two smaller, more pointed ones on the end of its tail. It can fold back these plates to increase its speed. It has large wings that resemble hands. Though it is genderless, a young Lugia has been observed, suggesting that there is a breeding population. Lugia has been shown to be fiercely protective of its young.
Lugia leads the Legendary birds. When they fight over territory, Lugia is the only Pokémon that can quell their ceaseless fighting, as observed in the second Pokémon movie. Much like the birds, it possesses the ability to control the weather; most notably, it can calm and give rise to storms. It is said that a light flutter of its wings is capable of causing winds powerful enough to tear down cliffs. If it were to flap its wings, it could hypothetically spawn storms lasting as long as 40 days. It is highly intelligent, and because of the devastating power it could accidentally inflict, it isolates itself deep underwater and tends to sleep in solitude. Lugia is the only known Pokémon that learns Aeroblast. It is extremely rare and is hardly ever seen.
In the anime
In the main series
Major appearances
Lugia (M02)
A Lugia was featured in The Power of One, central to the legend of Shamouti Island. Its psychic powers allow it to communicate with humans.
Silver (Johto)
A parent Lugia and its child (nicknamed Silver by Oliver) lived near Silver Rock Isle in the Whirl Islands. Dr. Namba attempted to capture both the parent Lugia and Silver for Giovanni in The Mystery is History, A Parent Trapped!. and A Promise is a Promise. Ash and Misty (Brock was not along with them) act as if this was their first time seeing a Lugia, as if the second movie never took place. Meowth, as well, said that he'd "never seen a Pokémon like that before!" On the contrary, the dub pays mention of the Lugia that was seen in the Orange Islands, with both James and Ash stating that it was "like" the one they'd seen in the Orange Islands. In both versions, Ash first refers to the baby Lugia as a "mysterious Pokémon."
Other
A Lugia appeared in Hoopa and the Clash of Ages along with many other Legendary Pokémon. It is unknown if this Lugia is the same as the one that appeared in The Power of One, although it is unlikely, as this Lugia did not speak through telepathy.
Minor appearances
Lugia saved Ash, Misty and Brock from being sucked into a whirlpool in Around the Whirlpool. It later turned out to be the mother of Silver in The Mystery is History.
A Lugia also appeared in a Team Rocket fantasy in An Egg Scramble!.
Lugia made a brief cameo at the beginning of Jirachi: Wish Maker, Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, The Rise of Darkrai, Giratina and the Sky Warrior, Arceus and the Jewel of Life and Zoroark: Master of Illusions.
In Pokémon Generations
A wild Lugia appeared in The Adventure.
In the manga
In the movie adaptations
- Main article: Lugia (M02)
Lugia is a major character in the second Pokémon movie, The Power of One. Likewise, it appears in the manga adaptation of the film by Tanigami Toshio.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
The Masked Man apparently caught Lugia twice (its plucked feather item Silver Wing is shown under his possession several years ago, only to be stolen by Green), but both times it went back to the wild along with Ho-Oh.
The Kanto Elite Four tried to exterminate humans using Lugia, which appeared as a spirit, in The Might of... Metapod?! of Volume 7 of the Yellow arc. It was encountered as a being of shimmering light, when Lance summoned it to aid his schemes. After they were defeated, it flew to the west. It wasn't until much later in Sandslash Surprise that it was properly identified as Lugia. It was battled by the Johto dexholders, in Lively Lugia I,II and III, where it was captured by The Masked Man just before Crystal's attempt.
Besides the two, it was also controlled for some time by Will and Karen while they were under the Masked Man's jurisdiction.
In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga
Lugia makes a brief appearance at the end of the chapter Epilogue: Wild Type.
In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga
Shu captured Lugia once, but released it in order to let it continue protecting the ocean.
In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga
Lugia appeared in Clefairy Rangers to the Rescue!!.
Lugia also appeared in Take me to the Dragon Palace!.
In the TCG
- Main article: Lugia (TCG)
In the TFG
One Lugia figure has been released.
Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. Melee/Brawl/3DS/Wii U
When released from a Poké Ball, Lugia will fly up out of the stage and return in the background, where it unleashes a powerful Aeroblast on the stage.
Melee trophy information
The waters of the Whirl Islands are home to this legendary Pokémon, whom very few have seen. Lugia live quietly in the deepest ocean trenches for one very good reason: its combined aerial and psychic powers are so strong as to be extremely dangerous. The special moves of this gargantuan creature include the destructive wind assault known as Aeroblast.
Brawl trophy information
"A Diving Pokémon. A legendary Pokémon often referred to as 'guardian of the seas,' it has the impressive ability to control the wind. Lugia typically spends its time quietly at the bottom of the ocean. Highly powerful in all areas, Lugia's Aeroblast move is especially powerful. It uses strong flapping of its wings to target damage on a foe's weak spot."
3DS/Wii U trophy information
NA: Despite being a Psychic/Flying-type Pokémon, Lugia sleeps on the ocean floor. Legend says the flapping of Lugia's wings can create storms that last up to 40 days. It's impossible to know for sure, but in Smash Bros., Lugia definitely brings a storm with its Aeroblast attack.
PAL: Despite being a Psychic- and Flying-type, Lugia sleeps on the ocean floor. It's said that if it were to flap its wings on waking up, it could cause a storm lasting 40 days. No one can say whether that's true or not, but Lugia's attacks certainly make it seem so. It flies behind the stage and creates a mighty gust of wind with its Aeroblast attack.

Trivia
- Lugia is the only Legendary Pokémon to be part of Viz Media's Pokémon All-Stars DVD series.
- Lugia has been the mascot of three games, namely: Pokémon Silver, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, and Pokémon SoulSilver, making it the record holder of most number of times used as a game mascot.
- Before the introduction of Pokémon Gold and Silver, Lugia was known as "Pokémon X." In the anime, Dr. Namba also refers to Lugia as "Pokémon X."
- Perhaps coincidentally, it also is known by its codename, XD001, in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness—also long before its true identity is revealed.
- In Gold and Silver, Lugia, like Ho-Oh, has the same encounter music as normal wild Pokémon. The same was true for the Legendary beasts before they received unique encounter music in Crystal. However, Lugia and Ho-Oh got their own unique battle themes in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
- Despite not being a Water type, Lugia has occasionally been depicted as a Water-type in the Trading Card Game.
- Lugia is tied with Ho-Oh for the highest base Special Defense of all Flying types.
- In the book adaptation of The Power of One, Lugia is mistakenly referred to as a Water/Flying type Pokémon.
- Lugia's Generation IV, V, and VI Pokédex entries that mention it being able to cause a 40-day storm may be a biblical reference to Noah's Ark.
- When Lugia's Shiny form is shown in Pokémon Stadium 2, it is green rather than pink.
Origin
Lugia's tendency for being underwater resembles plesiosaurs. It is also possible that Lugia may be based on Ryūjin, a dragon who lived on the ocean floor and was the Shinto god of the sea. The two have similarities in mythology, and Lugia's Shiny colors (red and white) are the same colors as the coral Ryujin's palace was made of. Lugia's avian body, coloration and face-markings suggests that it may be somewhat based on the grey heron. The beluga whale, a white whale with a similar body shape and coloration to Lugia, may also be a basis for Lugia's design and name. Lugia's back fins and tail spikes are reminiscent of the Stegosaurus.
Name origin
Lugia may be derived from lutetium (a silverish element), which in turn is named after Lutetia (the Roman name for Paris, the city of light). It may also involve Lugeo (Latin for to lie dormant, alluding to the way Lugia lies at the bottom of the sea) and luna (Latin for moon). Alternatively, it may come from beluga whale.
