PVE Offensive Moves Explanation
-
Extrasensory is Lugia’s best quick move, targeting Poison and Fighting-types for STAB effective damage.
-
Dragon Tail can provide neutral coverage against Psychic-types.
-
Future Sight isn't a bad move and has the advantage of pairing with Extrasensory, but in most cases it's best to use a Flying Type option instead.
-
Sky Attack is an outstanding attack, but for sheer Flying Type damage, Aeroblast is better.
- Hydro Pump isn’t a bad charge move, but it has no use on Lugia.
PVE Overview
As a cover legendary, Lugia is somewhat disappointing like Ho-Oh. Its stats are heavily slanted towards defense, which is not ideal in raids. Because it is a legendary species, Lugia can’t use its bulk as a gym defender, so its role is primarily as a bulky Psychic/Flying-type attacker.
In raids, Lugia is one of the bulkiest viable attackers against Machamp and Gengar, making it a cheap investment for solos. Lugia also runs through gyms without breaking a sweat and anchors teams far better than Snorlax and Blissey. Note that Lugia is currently the most Potion-efficient attacker in the game and will remain the bulkiest Fighting-type counter for generations to come.
