When he said, “business as usual” about Luigia’s control over new monsters it was so genuine idk. Like this old, should be retired Pokémon is still handling all these fancy new threats, never fading out like others have. Like each generation Luigia watches a new Pokémon knock a good chunk off it’s health and it’s just like watching the world grow it’s no longer like a handful of Pokémon he takes on and even tho it gets harder and harder he isn’t ready to not be viable yet.
I'm more surprised how tanky it was even before multiscale. Psychic/Flying isn't the best defensive typing out there(it's okay of course) and yet Lugia lol'd at the big threats and lol'd even harder when it got multiscale. There's plenty of pokemon with great defensive stats that can't do their job simply because their typing sucks lol.
It's no longer really viable in Uber, but not because it's bad per se (with Boots it's actually better than ever) but because it gives free entry to the biggest offensive threat in the Metagame (Shadow Rider) and is both weak and outclassed by the number one pokemon in the tier : Yveltal. Lugia is weak to Astral Barrage wheread Yveltal is one of the few resists to it, and Yveltal is offensively potent as well whereas Lugia is more passive. Lugia would be definitely excellent if the metagame were different as it has a lot of amazing traits, but it simply matches up poorly against the top dogs of the metagame (similar to Zekrom in gen 6 and 7 in a sense)
@@saiswanpyaenaing6080 Imagine 120 base hp with 140 base every other stat. That would even be logical because every mega gets 100 additional stat total. And then Protean to still kinda have the normal concept.
Pre-Gen 5 Pokemon: "Lugia is a formidable beast, but with enough force, even the mightest of walls will crumble!" Multiscale: "Allow me to introduce myself."
Lugia has been my favorite Legendary for so long, and I’m sure that will never change. I had thought Zamazenta would be be a threat, but Lugia still remains on top! He’s one of my signature Pokémon, alongside Feraligatr and Blastoise.
I'm so happy Lugia has been amazing all throughout! A while back I finally finished my full odds soft reset on Pokémon silver for shiny lugia, and managed to transfer it over with a bold nature and multiscale! An absolute wall. I don't normally use legendaries as I feel they're unfair , but I love my Lugia so much 😁

Awesome, Jirachi and FSG have finally granted my wish, and now there's finally a video on how good Lugia was in competitive play! Lugia is my favorite Pokémon, and upon seeing how good it has really been, I now love it even more! My life is now complete, Lugia forever! :)

I love Pkm that are defensive and fast. its just a very good niche cauz you dont have to be afraid to use moves like recover to late. You can just use the Status moves you want to and dont have to risk that your Pkm gets killed before you do. I wish there were more fast and defensive Pkm.
Latias also has stats like that, too. And when Deoxys Defense Forme dropped to OU last generation, it was also considered to be fast for a wall. But yeah, for the most part, Pokemon with that kind of stat spread are pretty rare, to put it mildly.
Depends on how you *can* dispose of that speed. Lugia is too slow to do something against Yveltal, or Necrozma, or Toxic-possessing Arceus formes. Lugia's strength lies into having Multiscale *and* refreshing it with Roost. Along with Whirlwind and Psychic or Aeroblast, Lugia can potentially cripple powerhouses forever. Aside from that, anything in Uber under 120 Speed is slow by default: not because they are really slow, but relatively. *That and honestly you can't realistically make a Pokemon statistically good by not investing in that stat unless we are talking about astronomical values like KyogreP's SpA.*
@@matthewkuscienko4616 And hopefully not having awful typing like his. Cause, trust me, when Necrozma evolves, it's gonna regret it having dropped the previous typing and ability.
Lugia has everything going for it as a Pokemon honestly. Cool design, good typing, iconic scenes in the anime and AMAZING IN COMPETITIVE. Love this guy. Looking forward to more things from you guys at FSG
For me, Lugia does extremely well in the Gen 8 metagame. Run a Calm nature, max out Speed and Special Attack EVS, Dynamax Lugia, get a couple of Max Airstreams up so it outspeeds everything, and sweep. With Multiscale and Recover, and it's really good defensive stats, it can take hits just as well as I can dish them out. Lugia is an absolute tank! I've taken out entire teams with just Lugia alone!
@@amithist4455 That’s an interesting take for sure, but as a Calm Mind user, it’s outclassed by Kyogre. Even if it did have Oblivion Wing, Kyogre only needs one Calm Mind to be threatening and comes with the bonus of STAB Scald. It could probably work, as the comp scene is very unpredictable, though.
I dont know why, but whenever i see an uber Pokemon guide, t makes me smile. Probably because i used to play primarily ubers in Showdown. Grerat Video btw.
Yeah. In pokemon go he's a beast. The 2 I have in the game aren't even that high level yet and they already pack a punch. In several lvl 3 raids when I used him he'd come in and take out the boss pokemon just before the timer ran out.
Lugia should've been a special case for triple typing. Since how heavily associated it is with water. The fact alone lugia was at the bottom of the ocean like kyogre and only came out when the trio quarrels. Also it pretty much the rayquaza of kanto.
What about Luigi’s with Psycho Boost? I was actually surprised that there was no mention of Lugia getting Psycho Boost if you transfer the Lugia from Pokémon XD Also how good was Camerupt and Sharpedo actually?! The signature Pokémon of Maxie and Archie! PLEASE!
Same by me. Lugia is my number 1 favourite pokemon since the second movie. Especially with pokemon go, for me at least. The 2 I have in the game saved my backside so many times in raids.
Is no-one going to mention the fact you can get a multi-scale curse lugia from the gen 2 virtual console games now....I feel this is an important talking point.
it took 5 generations for a pokemon to outmatch Lugia, in Dusk Man Necrozma love Lugia, if i had to choose a legendary to call my own, it would be Lugia
thats fine isnt it? The only reason Xerneas is a threat is because of geomancy. The idea is you whirlwind out Xerneas, wasting her white herb and essentially removing her as a threat. Even if it is 1 for 1. Also, didn't he say in the vid that Mega-Gengar couldn't 1 hit Lugia? Lugia might still die but Gengar isnt exactly tanky, would still be an iffy matchup
@@jordanious7711 Not exactly. Of course we don't get to see the situation of the match but in ORAS ubers teams usually have more than one win-conditions. Xerneas without Geomancy is still not a deadweight and could even setup again if the opposing team lacks good answers to it. And dragging out Mega Gengar more or less guaranteed Lugia's demise since a weakened Lugia will be ohko'd by Shadow Ball. And in other situations Gengar can taunt Lugia and prevent it from doing anything it wants. And once rid of Lugia other mons like Arceus-Normal and Primal Groudon can go to town.
Given that it’s heavily associated with oceans, and you find it in the -Seafoam- Whirl Islands hiding behind a waterfall, I’d say you weren’t the only one who thought it would be a Water type. Although tbh water flying would have made a terrible wall
Dang, I knew Lugia was bulky, but Multiscale just makes it ridiculous. Also, I know that you've tried to start getting people to stop spamming in the comments but maybe you should say that towards the beginning. I'm willing to bet a lot of people click off the video after the summary and miss anything in the end credits.
The reason for Lugia’s psychic typing comes in an interview where they stated: To start, the first type was decided to be Flying-type since Lugia have wings. At the time Psychic-type was the symbol of powerful Pokemon. As we wanted Lugia to give the impression of being a powerful Pokemon, we settled on Psychic-type for the second type, instead of Water-type. In short, the reason why Lugia is not a Water-type despite being underwater, is due to its Flying-type-like appearance, and Psychic-type being the symbol of a powerful Pokemon. Legendary duos represent opposite concepts, for example Groudon and Kyogre represent land and water, while Dialga and Palkia represent time and space. In the case of Ho-oh and Lugia, although they do not have a direct connection in the story, we imagine that they represent the sun and the moon, day and night, yin and yang (positive and negative), bottom of the sea and the sky, above and below. Ho-oh and Lugia were born in the world of Pokemon Gold and Silver, for the new feature, time system, gave us day and night cycle. Thus, they represent the sun and the moon, day and night.
i think ho-oh and lugia represent something similar to groudon and kyogre, but instead of being sea and ground it's sea and sky. silver and gold if you will
@@jonathano503 Zekrom and Reshiram represent the concepts of black and white; opposite ends of a spectrum. This explains why Kyerum, the third legendary of Black and White, is colored gray, representing a midpoint or a neutral ground. This is also why it can fuse with Zekrom and Reshiram, since it symbolizes leaning towards a single ideal or standard, or possibly symbolizing taking aspects of another idea to strengthen one's own position or beliefs, which also fits in with the idea of there being more than just opposite ends of a spectrum, as arbitrarily adding in a central point is no different than simply having two opposite ends. In a way, Zekrom and Reshiram represent the idea of there even *being* a kind of Yin and Yang in the first place, with Kyreum representing the fact that there is a mid-ground, and Fused Kyreum representing the idea of influencing neutrality towards one side, and mixing the ideals of pure neutral position and an absolute position, as well as how there is not merely a gray-area, but an array of possible positions. It's actually pretty meta in a way.

Gotta admit, hearing Lugia laugh in the face of powercreep for 5 generations straight is immensely satisfying.
Partly thanks to multiscale though, the powercreep was strong.
Wasn't laughing very much against mons like Zekrom and Kyurem White though

*Lunatone and Solrock cry in the corner*
i think ho-oh and lugia represent something similar to groudon and kyogre, but instead of being sea and ground it's sea and sky. silver and gold if you will
@@jonathano503 Zekrom and Reshiram represent the concepts of black and white; opposite ends of a spectrum. This explains why Kyerum, the third legendary of Black and White, is colored gray, representing a midpoint or a neutral ground. This is also why it can fuse with Zekrom and Reshiram, since it symbolizes leaning towards a single ideal or standard, or possibly symbolizing taking aspects of another idea to strengthen one's own position or beliefs, which also fits in with the idea of there being more than just opposite ends of a spectrum, as arbitrarily adding in a central point is no different than simply having two opposite ends. In a way, Zekrom and Reshiram represent the idea of there even *being* a kind of Yin and Yang in the first place, with Kyreum representing the fact that there is a mid-ground, and Fused Kyreum representing the idea of influencing neutrality towards one side, and mixing the ideals of pure neutral position and an absolute position, as well as how there is not merely a gray-area, but an array of possible positions. It's actually pretty meta in a way.
