'''Shadow Lugia''' (Japanese: '''ダークルギア''' ''Dark Lugia''), codenamed '''XD001''', is a {{p|Lugia}} corrupted by the criminal organization [[Cipher]]. It is believed to be the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], completely immune to purification. As a sign of its corruption, unlike other Shadow Pokémon, Lugia's appearance changes from that of a normal Lugia. Shadow Lugia has only been seen in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].
'''Shadow Lugia''' (Japanese: '''ダークルギア''' ''Dark Lugia''), codenamed '''XD001''', is a {{p|Lugia}} corrupted by the criminal organization [[Cipher]]. It is believed to be the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], completely immune to purification; to reflect this, the "XD" in its codename stands for "Extra Darkness". As a sign of its corruption, unlike other Shadow Pokémon, Lugia's appearance changes from that of a normal Lugia. Shadow Lugia has only been seen in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

In the prologue of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, Shadow Lugia attacks the cruise ship [[S.S. Libra]], which had been carrying many Pokémon to Orre. However, Shadow Lugia drops the ship in the middle of the desert leading to Cipher having to catch the Pokémon left in the ship.
In the prologue of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, Shadow Lugia attacks the cruise ship [[S.S. Libra]], which had been carrying many Pokémon to Orre. However, Shadow Lugia drops the ship in the middle of the desert, forcing Cipher to travel to the desert and catch the Pokémon left in the ship.


During the course of the game, Shadow Lugia is mentioned often, but never seen. One of Cipher's administrators, [[Lovrina]], tells [[Michael]] that it was she who created Shadow Lugia, and reveals that she has perfected it to be immune to [[purification]] when he encounters her again on [[Citadark Isle]].
During the course of the game, Shadow Lugia is mentioned often, but never seen. One of Cipher's administrators, [[Lovrina]], tells [[Michael]] that it was she who created Shadow Lugia, as the first of an army of Shadow Pokemon immune to [[purification]]. She also reveals that the Shadow Pokemon was supposed to bring the S.S. Libra to Cipher's headquarters, but an instability in the corruption process led to it briefly breaking free of Cipher's control.


Also on Citadark Isle, Michael finally confronts Lugia, sent out by [[Greevil]] to defeat the boy before the other six (also Shadow) members of his [[party]].
When Michael explores [[Citadark Isle]], he again encounters Lovrina, who boasts that she has perfected Shadow Lugia, making it completely impossible to purify. Later, at the very pinnacle of Cipher's headquarters, Michael finally confronts the corrupted Lugia when it is sent out by [[Greevil]] to defeat the boy before the other six (also Shadow) members of his [[party]].


After snagging Lugia, Michael will find that Lovrina was right—Shadow Lugia cannot be purified through battling with it, using [[cologne]]s, or by any other normal means. However, the [[Purify Chamber]], which was jointly developed by Michael's father and [[Professor Krane]], will be able to purify it, but only if all nine of the Sets within it are at maximum tempo.
After snagging the Lugia and defeating Greevil, Michael will find that Lovrina was apparently correct — Shadow Lugia cannot be purified through using it in battle, massaging it with [[cologne]]s, keeping it in the active party, or by any other normal means. However, the [[Purify Chamber]], the ultimate creation of Michael's father and [[Professor Krane]], will be able to purify XD-001 if all nine of the Sets within it are at maximum tempo.
