In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 680, Lugia plays as a defensive Pokémon that shines at absorbing hits. Its standout stat is Special Defense at 154, while Attack (90) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Psychic, Flying combination gives Lugia 3 resistances, 1 immunity, and 5 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 4 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 3 makes Lugia a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Defense +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
