PVE Offensive Moves Caption

Extrasensory is Shadow Lugia's best quick move, targeting Poison and Fighting-types for STAB effective harm.
Dragon Tail has limited utility
Future Sightisn't a bad move and has the reward of pairing withExtrasensory,merely in almost cases it's best to use a Flying Type option instead.
Sky Attackis an outstanding attack, only for sheer Flying Type damage,Aeroblast*is better, whileAeroblast+*is the absolute best for those lucky enough to have a good Apex Shadow Lugia.
Hydro Pump isn't a bad charge motility, but it has no use on Shadow Lugia.

PVE Overview

Lugia was the first Cover Legend released in Pokemon Go, and has long been a popular Pokemon in full general. Withal, its utility has long been something of a meme in terms of the PvE meta, as theoverwhelmingconsensus has been to avoid using it exterior of select scenarios. But here nosotros are, looking Shadow Lugia in its claret-crimson eyes as it demands a place on our teams.

Shadow Lugia retains a almost-identical TDO to its basic counterpart (TDO which sits near the acme of all Pokemon, mind you), simply sees a large heave to its DPS as well. This increase ismerelyplenty to make an Shadow Lugia a real threat in raids, as it just became one of the most ideal anchors in the entire game for raids weak to Flight and/or Psychic. And while anchors aren't in loftier demand nowadays, Shadow Lugia's boosted DPS puts it in a solid place in Flying weak raids in particular.

Noon Shadow Lugia is i of the strongest Flight attackers in the game, thanks to Aeroblast+'due south insane power. Although its DPS can be inconsistent due to its lack of Flying-type fast move, Apex Shadow Lugia will however put in plenty of piece of work. Avoid purifying it if you intendance near its raid performance.

In short; it'due south a solid Pokemon (in more ways than 1), and tin be useful for sure, but it'due south yet not a elevation-tier choice for most raids.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Dragon Tail + Sky Attack and Aeroblast*

With the Season 8 buff to Dragon Tail, its incredible damage output now makes information technology the superior choice to Extrasensory despite having slightly less energy gain. Dragon Tail is specially preferred in Main League due to the ubiquitous employ of Dragon-type Pokemon.

Heaven Set onis a very efficient move, benefits from STAB, and costs the least amount of energy.Hereafter Sight requires a steep 65 free energy cost, and is generally non preferable due to this cost unless Psychic-type coverage is highly needed.Hydro Pump (130 Power/75 Energy) takes longer to accuse, has lower base impairment per energy, and lacks STAB, but it does allow Lugia to perform better against a number of potential threats, such as Steel- and Stone-types. The addition of Aeroblast from the November 2020 Animation Week event is a debatable but withal welcome improver to Lugia'south kit, demanding an expensive 75 free energy price only in render offering a massive 170 base of operations ability (two.267 DPE). With STAB, Aeroblastwhen resisted performs almost identically to Hydro Pump, which makes Lugia'south signature move more preferable due to its minor risk to proc its +two ATK buff, despite not offer boosted coverage.

Aeroblast+, the signature motility of Apex Shadow Lugia, is functionally identical to Aeroblast in PvP.

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 3 / 5

Thanks to its availability as a long-term research breakthrough reward, Lugia'due south CP can be low enough to enter into the Great League after a reroll of its IVs from a trade, and it definitely performs well here. Lugia can wall assault subsequently attack while giving back decent punishment, and makes a fantastic team selection to embrace a fighting weakness in detail. Notably, it absolutely dominates Medicham. It has the aforementioned flight-blazon weaknesses as other mutual Pokémon like Skarmory and Altaria.

Ultra League: three / 5

Lugia'due south sheer defensive utility begins to shine through in the Ultra League, where it goes from a solid mon in a competitive Flying-blazon niche to a major threat. It holds its own confronting much of the tier, but its fatal drawback is its weakness to the masters of the tier: Giratina'southward two formes and Registeel. Regardless, with a bit of forethought, Lugia tin perform very well in the Ultra League and support its team fantastically.

Master League: 4.5 / 5

Without the CP cap holding it downwards, Lugia gets to make utilise of its full power in the Master League. Possessing the game'south highest bulk AND stat production, on elevation of a powerful moveset, Lugia is an absolute force to exist reckoned with. Its typing and moves let it to counter big threats such as Groudon, Palkia, Garchomp, and Focus Blast Mewtwo. Lugia's fantastic bulk also allows information technology to cushion blows from the numerous nukes in the metagame, making it an fantabulous Pokemon to catch charge moves with. The sheer power of Aeroblast can tear off a tremendous chunk of health even when resisted, making Pokemon like Dialga and Metagross seriously consider shielding it, while Lugia'south bulk allows it to consistently satisfy the movement's immense free energy demands. Lugia is an fantabulous safe switch and, despite its many weaknesses, it pretty much simply hard loses to Melmetal.
