Lugia or Ho-oh? Who's Better?

[Theneedleman]

Hi, I would like to know who you like better: Lugia or Ho-oh?

I personally like Lugia as it has higher defense than Ho-oh and Lugia doesn't have the 4X weakness to Rock.

So what's your opinion?

*Dies* Another Lugia/Ho-oh poll. And another Legendary poll.

Lugia.

I don't know much about strategy, but I know that Lugia is faster than Ho-oh. Lugia can damage Ho-oh majorly with 2x Surf, 4x Ancientpower, 2x Thunderbolt, STAB Psychic, or STAB Aeroblast. Aeroblast particularly, since That's 150 power with high Critical hit ratio, plus Ho-oh defense is lower than its Sp.Def. Plus Lugia is an insane tank.

Ho-oh, on the other hand has high attack compared to Lugia's lower-than-its-Sp.Def Defense score. 2x Ancientpower would take advantage of that, and there's also 2x Thunderbolt and STAB Sacred Fire, but Ho-oh's Sp.Att is lower than it's attack, and Lugia has that insane Sp.Def.

But I've heard people say that Lugia pwns, so I'll go with that. Plus I just like him more.

Urk...I tired to sound like I knew a thing or two about strategy...now people are going to laugh at me.

Appearance-wise...Ho-oh is more complex, but Lugia is more original. That's all opinion, though.

You sort of got it Chibi Pika. Lugia would win.

 

[Deathskully]

Lugia is an insane tank and would win, but it'd would still take a ton of damage from a CB Shadow Ball from base 130 attack. No Lugia ever uses Ancientpower. Infact the only moves used by Lugia are usually Aeroblast, Thunderbolt, and Ice Beam.

 

[~*Mudkip Fantastic*~]

Lugia would beat Ho-Oh hands down. Hydro Pump and Ancient Power would own it

 

[Evanji Axu]

Lugia. She's the very image of majesty, grace, and power.

Ho-oh's just a big turkey who fell into the paint

 

[Gravy]

Bah, I'm voting for Ho-oh because I like it more.
Lugia always wins when it comes down to battling capabilities anyways, which kind of renders the poll pointless :/

Words of wisdom...

Lugia is better. Because it's br0ken to no end.

Ho-Oh is one of two non-br0ken 00bers, even if that is quite the paradox. I still prefer it for its majestic looks, the colorful body and its paramount importance to the entire Pokémon world. It's the most important Legendary IMO. So...

 

[Theneedleman]

which kind of renders the poll pointless :/

It dosen't render the poll pointless, I just want to know who you like better...it dosen't have to be based on a battle situation.

 

[Crystal Clair]

I like Ho-oh much better than Lugia. Lugia is wayyyy overrated and Ho-oh is like a fire rainbow....
And besides I never got that far in my silver version -_-

 

[Slasher]

Lugia is better because Lugia is alot stronger then ho-oh and has better stats.

 

[9voltdude]

ho-oh > lugia

 

[Juputoru]

Lugia is better in battle, but Ho-oh owns it in every other way. ;/

 

[EmbersBackUpSinger]

I like Ho0Oh but Lugia is stronger

 

[Auraninja]

I like Lugia because he is Psychic, and can learn Water attacks.

 

[k3wlcole]

I like Ho-oh more. Probably because I have it and it is awesome.

 

[Steffrox]

Ho-oh, its beautiful and unique and shrouded in mystery, i love love love it. just looking at it is like a colour party for ur eyes.
Lugia is cool but not as, and it kinda reminds me of a jumbo jet??

 

[Freakshow]

Lugia >>>>>>>> Ho-Oh
Lugia would stall Ho-Oh to death, really, unless Ho-Oh carries CB Shadow Ball, but Lugia can stall that out with Substitute and Recover and defense EVs/Max HP EV and DV. Oh yeah, and lets not forget it can learn Reflect, which can go over sub.
Lugia is also simple and elegant looking. Ho-Oh looks like a chicken with weird colored feathers.
Lugia also has less weaknesses, takes <50% from most attacks (even against a max SAtk Mewtwo Ice Beam), which is recoverable, abuses Pressure waaay better than Ho-Oh.
Lugia has a much better cry than Ho-Oh.
Also, Lugia virtually has 2 signature moves, Aeroblast, and a stolen Psycho Boost.
Lugia is my favorite uber
Lugia has a movie on its own.

(You guys rant off about Charizard, well...Ho-oh has the 4x as well.)

Yeah, but Charizard doesn't have 130 Attack, Base 90 Attack, or Shadow Ball, which makes it less usable ;P

Lugia is obviously better. Ho-Oh looks incredible, though, I'll give it that much.

Lugia because because it learns a very strong water attack for a non water pokemon.
