'''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.

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>
