I think I have a screwed up Lugia

[ash5550]

As the title says, here we go:
Note:I didn't ev train this one, so now EVs.

Lugia@white herb
modest
Pressure
moves:
Psycho boost
surf
recover
Aeroblast


Well, thats it. My Lugia is an attacker, and heals when needed. Help please. And, I don't need anyone saying I need EVs, this is an experiment.

If this is for in-game, this is the wrong section.

Also, this is a Rate my team, not "rate a single pokemon"

Finally, Psycho boost+white herb sucks on Lugia

 

[ash5550]

I'm not an idiot. This is for competitive battling. Could anyone give some GOOD suggestions to moves?

 

[aipomkong]

Calm mind/Recover/Psychic[Ice Beam/Thunderbolt/Toxic/Whirlwind]

Post your WHOLE team in Proper format or we will assume this is in-game

 

[Fluorescent Adolescent]

Yep you're right, you definitely do have a screwed up Lugia ;o

Anyway Lugia has loads of different roles it can play so put short: www.smogon.com

And this is rate my team, not rate my single pokemon plx.

i never said you were an idiot. Go to smogon, or use 0ma (nooblet) suggestion

 

[aipomkong]

imo people should stop being uptight over one pokemon threads

it's not their fault they can't read stickys, or the title of the forum which, conveniantly is 'Rate My TEAM'. Blame the state / communists

 

[DragonDance]

Quoting that. lol.

But he is right.

Modest's a decent nature for a Lugia.....not the best in my opinion, but it's workable.

First, ditch Psycho Boost for Psychic. That frees you from the White Herb, allowing a wider range of held items.

Aeroblast, despite being Lugia's signature move, doesn't fit on a Modest natured one. Erase it for Thunderbolt, or if you need it, Giga Drain's an option too.

Recover is really optional. I prefer to go with all-out attack, so I wouldn't use it, but it's up to you. Personally, I would throw in either T-Bolt or Giga Drain depending on which one you already put in.

i like earthquake/aeroblast/recover/whirlwind

wtf. Lugia's defensive, and Recover's brilliant with its uber stats. No Recover on Lugia = pointless IMO.

Okay, fair enough. I use Ho-oh anyway.

You are right about its stats---once, fighting Greevil, he was down to his Shadow Articuno, me to Shadow Lugia. Lugia got frozen after Articuno was down to about 50% HP, so I let it sit and kept giving it Hyper Potions while I worked up the Timer Balls. Articuno would do nothing but Shadow Chill and Shadow Sky! Needless to say, Lugia saved my rear on that one. I'd have lost five Shadows and the Ultra Balls to snag them.

Recover is God on Lugia. Even with Uber Defenses, It will still die sooner or later. So when you low on HP, Recover. With Calm Mand it makes it the best tank in the game.

i like earthquake/aeroblast/recover/whirlwind

I tried that and it didn't seem to work.

I prefer the tankish one.

EV train next time if this Pokemon of yours is so competitive.

Agreeing with Nine Thou. We need a petition to make all none NB teams go in in-game.

Also, the great butler, please shut up, you don't know what you're talking about.
