MetaMons competitive notes
Lugia is a psychic/flying-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Defense — at 680 BST it is a legendary-grade total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 110) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Pressure ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Lugia. Build around what Lugia actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
