Lugia's defenses are very tough to crack, so it is well suited to being a physical wall. With the listed combination of moves, it can function as an excellent counter to some of the top threats in the Uber metagame, including, but not limited to Groudon, Rayquaza, Garchomp, Normal Arceus, Giratina-O, and certain sets of Palkia and Dialga. It also gets Leftovers, an immunity to Spikes and Toxic Spikes, and Dragon Tail to set it apart from Arceus, who appears to outclass Lugia at first glance with its similar defenses, but much better offenses.

Roost is Lugia's most important move. It provides reliable healing while cancelling out its weaknesses to Rock-, Electric-, and Ice-type attacks for a turn, which Lugia can often take advantage of due to its great Speed stat. Reflect allows Lugia to bolster its Defense stat to counter physical sweepers more efficiently. Substitute however, combined with Pressure and Toxic, turns Lugia into a stalling machine that can outlast many opponents while gaining a shield from status. Dragon Tail is a great move for Lugia, allowing it to strike at Dragon-type Pokemon for solid damage while forcing any Pokemon that is not behind a Substitute out of play.

Lugia has several good options for the last moveslot. Toxic is probably the best, as it allows Lugia to whittle away at opponents such as Groudon while focusing on keeping its own HP high with Roost. Whirlwind is still an option to reliably phaze away Pokemon that rely on Substitute, such as Shaymin-S. If Whirlwind is being used, Ice Beam can be run to help deal more damage to the likes of Rayquaza and Garchomp as well as Groudon. However, Dragon Tail is usually superior as it fulfills the role of both Ice Beam and Whirlwind, opening up a moveslot for Lugia. Earthquake also allows Lugia to strike at Zekrom, Heatran, and Reshiram switch-ins, all of which are key stallbreakers, so weakening them as fast as possible can be a game-changer.

~ Calm mind ~ Ice beam ~ Thunder / Earth Power / Whirlwind ~ Roost	252 Ps / 16 Dif / 240 Vel

Although one may view Calm Mind Lugia as outclassed by Arceus, who is faster and boasts better offenses, this is simply not the case. Lugia, unlike most of the Arceus formes, can hold Leftovers. Add on Pressure and an, and Lugia can still function very well as a capable user of Calm Mind, able to set up and potentially sweep while remaining a very usable wall.

Ice Beam is Lugia's main attack on this set. Although Lugia's Special Attack is mediocre, Ice Beam will still do plenty of damage after a few Calm Mind boosts, and the super effective coverage it has on Dragon-types is a huge plus. Thunder zaps Kyogre and Manaphy for good damage while getting a decent smack on Steel-type Pokemon. It also forms the infamous BoltBeam combo with Thunder. Earth Power, on the other hand, blasts Heatran and Magnezone to pieces while landing a solid smack on Tyranitar. Either way, both moves have great type coverage when paired with Ice Beam. Whirlwind or Dragon Tail can also be used to stop other Calm Mind users from setting up on Lugia, if one is willing to forgo the added type coverage.

Altre Opzioni

Since Garchomp and Groudon will pretty much never switch into it, Thunder Wave is an excellent support move for Lugia. It can help slow the opponent's sweepers and revenge killers, paving the way for a slow Pokemon such as Groudon to sweep. Light Screen amps up Lugia's Special Defense even more, making it nigh impossible to break with special attacks. Rest + Sleep Talk can be used for status protection, but due to the changed sleep mechanics (the sleep counter resets every time you switch out) and the fact Roost is generally superior, it simply isn't worth it. Safeguard is also an option to give Lugia status protection and support the team. Shed Shell can be used as an alternative item choice to stop Wobbuffet from turning Lugia into setup bait. Weather Ball combined with sunlight allows Lugia to fry Forretress and Ferrothorn, which is very useful as otherwise, they can use Lugia as setup bait. Finally, Aeroblast is Lugia's strongest STAB move, but it really isn't useful for anything in particular.

By running a moveset of Rest / Sleep Talk / Whirlwind / Dragon Tail, Lugia can use an interesting tactic known as Speed Shuffling. Sleep Talk cancels out the negative priority of phazing moves, and because Lugia learns both Whirlwind and Dragon Tail, Sleep Talk will have a 66% chance of forcing the opponent to immediately switch out, which Lugia can abuse with entry hazards thanks to its high Speed for devastating effects. However, this set cannot touch anything with Taunt and will often be put into a tough situation if Sleep Talk does not select a phazing move, so usage is generally not recommended.

Checks & Counters

Dark-types such as Darkrai and Tyranitar are generally good answers to Lugia, as it can't really hurt either aside from Toxic, while Tyranitar and Darkrai carry STAB Crunch and Dark Pulse, respectively, to put down Lugia, although the former risks being outstalled by Reflect and Toxic. Kyogre and Zekrom carry mighty Water- and Electric-type STAB attacks that are just too powerful for Lugia to handle. Blissey also completely walls Lugia and can outstall it with Toxic while laughing at Lugia's attempts to hurt it. Reshiram, although it dislikes Calm Mind variants, can come in and roast Lugia alive with Blue Fire provided the weather is sunny. Heatran is in a similar position. Although it fears Earth Power and Earthquake much more than Reshiram, it doesn't care about Toxic and can even Taunt Lugia to stop it from healing itself.

Toxic absolutely ruins Lugia's walling abilities, so simply hitting it with the debilitating Poison-type move will leave it crippled and near useless. Stealth Rock also isn't fun for Lugia either. Losing 25% HP on every switch-in really messes up Lugia's ability to take hits.

Dream World

The Dream World has bestowed upon Lugia the ability Multiscale. Provided Lugia is at full HP, it will received halved damage from all attacks. Provided you can keep Stealth Rock away, Lugia can easily abuse this ability in conjunction with its high Speed stat and Recover (Multiscale and Roost form an illegal combination) to make it even more difficult to take down and capable of taking even STAB super effective attacks.
