Lugia Returns on March 16th

On March 15th, Niantic announced that Lugia will be making a return after we see Rayquaza leave. Lugia will be available until April 2nd, and will have Sky Attack as an available move. Please note that this time around, Sky Attack will be "newly improved". Could we be seeing a buff to the move?

You can find Lugia's raid counters on this page. Stay tuned for the changes that are being made. See the announcement below. 

3/16 Update

  • Sky Attack's power increased from 70 to 80.

Official Announcement

Trainers,

The Legendary Pokémon Lugia will return to Raid Battles in Pokémon GO on March 16! A powerful Psychic- and Flying-type Pokémon originally discovered in the Johto region, Lugia will appear in Gyms across the globe as the Legendary Pokémon Rayquaza returns to the ozone layer. You can challenge Lugia, which will know the newly improved Flying-type move Sky Attack, until April 2. So gather your strongest party to take on this Legendary Pokémon before it returns to the sea!
