'''Shadow Lugia''' (Japanese: '''ダークルギア''' ''Dark Lugia''), codenamed '''XD001''', is a [[Pokémon]] exclusive to [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

It is a {{p|Lugia}} corrupted by the criminal organization [[Cipher]], believed to be the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]] and completely immune to purification. As a sign of this corruption, its appearance is different from that of a normal Lugia, unlike other Shadow Pokémon who appear normal but possess a shadowy aura.

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 Pokémon immune to [[purification]]. She also reveals that the Shadow Pokémon 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.

Shadow Lugia was featured in the TCG as a promotional card. The English version was given out to attendants of the Nintendo Pre Electronic Entertainment Expo conference. This card was also distributed at the {{wp|Nintendo World Store}} in {{wp|New York}} in October 2005. This card was released as a Jumbo card and was therefore not legal to use in tournaments or official events. It has an unusual 300 HP and its only attack, {{m|Shadow Storm}}, has an incredible 1000 damage (tied for the highest amount of damage on any printed card). It has the same artwork as the Pokémon XD box art.

* Shadow Lugia, available in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], is the only way to get Lugia without an {{pkmn2|event}} in [[Generation III]]. Its counterpart, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, is only available by purifying all Shadow Pokémon in XD's predecessor, [[Pokémon Colosseum]], and then defeating all 100 Trainers at [[Mt. Battle]] in Colosseum Mode.

* The text on the [[Aura Reader]] is different with Shadow Lugia. Instead of saying, "Oh! A Shadow Pokémon!" it says, "The Aura Reader is responding! It is a Shadow Pokémon!"

* Even though Shadow Lugia is never shown to be officially "owned" by a {{pkmn|Trainer}} (as it appears to lack a Poké Ball and its "Trainer" already carries six Pokémon), Michael still uses the [[Snag Machine]] on Shadow Lugia.

* Assuming the player has all the necessary Pokémon for the [[Purify Chamber]], Shadow Lugia can be purified with the least amount of effort, as it's purified instantly and the method doesn't work with any other Shadow Pokémon.

* In {{sbw|Super Smash Bros. 4}} and {{sbw|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate}}, one of {{OBP|Mewtwo|Super Smash Bros.}}'s alternate costumes is a reference to Shadow Lugia.

* Shadow Lugia was designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/900861377333542912 Tweet about designing Shadow Lugia]</ref>
