I can never understand why Lugia can learn Hydro pump, it isnt even a water type!
and isnt Ho-oh and Ligia supposed to be polar opposites?

It is candy. The vitamins are Zinc, Iron, etc... and the steroids are kind of like the X items, which provide a specific stat with a temp boost for one battle/until a Pokemon is withdrawn or KOed.
Lugia and Hydro Pump makes perfect sense. Lugia lives at the bottom of the sea. It's called the Diving Pokemon. It's associated with sea storms and the ocean. It is Ho-oh's opposite; they used the "Golden Sky vs. Silver Sea" theme a number of times. By all rights, Lugia should be Water/Flying anyway. I'll never understand why they made it Psychic/Flying.

Because the Psychic type is cool!
Also Water/Flying boasts a double weakness to Electric (maybe they wanted it to not suck) and then it'd have a far more distinct advantage over Ho-Oh (I can see why they would REALLY not want to do that.)

It's because Lugia was based on the Beluga whale.

yeah, ot should be water/flying
maybe they didnt want a legend that can take 4x damage or they just dont want another gyarados.... lol
@ Shadowy Arceini
LOL what?
seriously can you see that thing carrying you to the other end of sinnoh, just not gonna happen (here's where Sherlock brings up pidgey learning fly -_-).
how can a starly fly with a human on it's back.

Um, yes? Yanmega is freakin' huge, a good six feet long. (Its HG entry states that it's capable of carrying an adult in flight, too.)
woops just looked up bulba too find it's 6ft, i always thought it was about 4ft. I change my mind it should learn fly
.I don't think they care about advantage. They did it with Kyogre and Groudon. So what if it has a double weakness? Ho-oh already has a double weakness to Rock. And changing a Pokemon's logical type just so it won't have a weakness to something is silly. Starmie wouldn't be weak to Electric if it was part Ground-type, but they doesn't mean they should just randomly change it to Water/Ground.
Shoulda been Dragon/Water

In the anime, Aerial Ace is little more than a REALLY fast Tackle where the user charges head first at the opponent, if that helps you picture it any better. Mostly used by Flying types, but there's been a handful of times non bird-like/flying Pokemon have used it in the anime.
But anime =/= games. I'm sure the game programmers didn't intend Aerial Ace to be a fast tackle. The name suggests the Pokemon would lash up into the air and charge the opponent all in a fast time interval.
