Lugia is a solid wall and serviceable wincon for the sweeper teams it's placed onto thanks to its monumental bulk and Calm Mind. Air Slash is preferred over the stronger Aeroblast due to having a significantly higher PP count, allowing it to sweep teams without running out of PP against foes like Giratina and Palkia-O, though Psychic Noise is a solid alternative to block walls like Giratina, Blissey, and Arceus formes from healing off the damage it inflicts. Earth Power slams Steel- and Electric-types, like Kingambit, Magearna, and Arceus-Electric for super effective damage. Tera Fairy is a solid defensive typing that replaces Lugia's Dark weakness with a Dark resistance and grants it an immunity to Dragon Tail from Giratina and Dialga, though Tera Ground boosts Earth Power and gives it an immunity to Electric-type moves from Regieleki and Magearna is. Lugia can struggle to break through foes with Encore, status-inducing moves, Taunt, or phazing— like Giratina, Magearna, and Arceus-Dark—so Pokemon like Arceus-Dark, Chi-Yu, and Zacian that can beat these foes are all excellent partners. Lugia is a phenomenal mixed wall, being able to check many of the best wallbreakers in the metagame like Mewtwo, Palkia-O, and Landorus, so Pokemon weak to these threats, like Arceus-Dark, Great Tusk, and Toxapex, all adore its ability to check them.
