Near-mint Lugia BREAK from XY—Fates Collide is changing hands around $40 to $44.47 in late September 2026. Lightly played copies sold much lower on the same day, near $23.50, after the September 16 anniversary launch renewed interest. Lugia BREAK is card 79/124, a Colorless BREAK Evolution with 150 HP. The Pokémon Company International lists it as retaining its prior Lugia's attacks and traits, so buyers must match the BREAK version, not a regular Lugia, when checking prices Pokémon TCG card database entry.

Which card are you pricing?
Lugia BREAK #79 comes from XY—Fates Collide. It is an Ultra Rare BREAK Evolution, not a standard holo or full art. That distinction matters because other Lugia cards use similar art and names.
Check the set number 79/124 and the BREAK label above the art. Colorless BREAK cards also show the sideways BREAK rules box. Matching those details prevents comparing the wrong Lugia sale.
What did recent copies sell for?
PriceCharting logged a Near Mint English copy via TCGPlayer for $44.47 on Sept. 22, 2026. The same PriceCharting sales table for Lugia BREAK logged a Lightly Played eBay copy for $23.50 that day. Other ungraded eBay results span about $17 to $37.
Examples include $17.00, $35.00 Lightly Played, and $37.00 Near Mint. Condition explains most of the spread. Sports Card Investor reports the raw Near Mint copy last sold for $40.00, up $20.00, or 100%, over the prior 30 days Sports Card Investor price guide. Use completed sales, not active asking prices, for buying or selling.
Why check after anniversary interest?
Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration launched worldwide on Sept. 16, 2026. Dexerto, reporting The Pokémon Company announcement, described it as the first simultaneous global launch Dexerto report on the anniversary launch. New attention often spills over to older chase cards such as Lugia.
Early anniversary singles are volatile. CardCollector found 30th Anniversary Charizard sales near £284 but warned that prices move fast and single figures are snapshots. That caution applies to Lugia BREAK too. A one-month doubling does not prove a lasting trend. Treat the September sales as current market activity after renewed attention, not a ceiling or floor.
How do you buy or price by condition?
Start with exact filters: English, ungraded, #79, and Near Mint or Lightly Played. Compare only sold listings from the same week when possible.
Ignore stock-photo listings unless the seller confirms the card shown is the card sent. Asking prices currently range widely, from about $12.99 for Moderately Played ungraded copies to $200 for a PSA 8 stock-photo listing. Filter completed sales by exact condition and grade before making an offer.
- Select completed or sold items, not active listings
- Match condition: Near Mint, Lightly Played, or Moderately Played
- Match marketplace when possible: TCGPlayer and eBay fees differ
- Check photos for edge wear, scratches, and centering
