洛奇亚 怎么配招

Moves

Roost functions as a reliable form of recovery, and it is chosen over Recover in order to more easily stall out foes with Electric-, Ice-, and Rock-type moves. Examples of Roost's benefits can be seen against threats like Stone Edge Primal Groudon and Thunder Primal Kyogre.

Lugia's massive bulk allows it to easily stall foes with Toxic.

Whirlwind removes a foe from the field, letting Lugia shut down a setup sweeper that it can't stall out reliably. Whirlwind also has benefits of phazing foes behind Substitute.

Dragon Tail is an alternative phazing move that does minor damage and can be handy against Shadow Tag users like Mega Gengar and Gothitelle, but using Dragon Tail leaves Lugia unable to properly check Substitute users, and it has a slight chance to miss. Dragon Tail is also unable to phaze Geomancy Xerneas.

Psychic targets certain foes that Lugia cannot effectively stall out with Toxic. It harshly punishes Mega Gengar, having a chance to outright OHKO its regular forme if switched in when Stealth Rock is up. Psychic also has the benefits of 2HKOing Mega Lucario and Toxapex after some prior damage and heavily damaging Marshadow and Mega Blaziken.

Ice Beam allows Lugia to take more offensive approaches to checking Dragon-types. Both Mega Salamence and Rayquaza are OHKOed by Ice Beam after Stealth Rock damage, and the former can still be taken out by Ice Beam after taking damage from Double-Edge's recoil. It should be noted that Lugia is able to check Zygarde-C with Ice Beam, which would otherwise freely set up on Lugia with Substitute up to block Toxic and sponge Psychic while phazing Lugia with Dragon Tail.

Substitute eases Lugia's attempt to stall slower foes and blocks status. Substitute also serves as Lugia's only way to prevent the loss of momentum against Necrozma-DM, as Necrozma-DM is forced to use Sunsteel Strike against Lugia behind Substitute and will be discouraged to use Lugia as setup fodder.

Set Details

Maximum HP investment makes Lugia's HP divisible by 16, letting it take full advantage of Leftovers recovery. 96 Speed EVs allow Lugia to outspeed neutral-natured base 90 Speed Pokemon and move first against threats like Swords Dance Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre. 136 EVs can be run to outspeed Dragon Dance variants of regular Zygarde and let Lugia use Toxic on them before they set up a Substitute.

The remainder of the EVs are invested in Defense with a Bold nature to maximize Lugia's physical bulk, giving it a good chance to survive attacks like +2 Stone Edge from Arceus-Ground, +1 Double-Edge from Mega Salamence, and +2 Shadow Claw from Extreme Killer Arceus after Stealth Rock damage.

Maximum HP and Special Defense investment with a Calm nature improves Lugia's special bulk to the point where it can check Geomancy Xerneas after taking Stealth Rock damage and even avoid the 2HKO from Mega Gengar. However, this option is generally unreliable and Lugia typically prefers physically defensive investment to better check foes it commonly pivots into.

Leftovers provides Lugia with passive recovery.

Multiscale halves damage from attacks when Lugia is at full HP, but you should note that moves like Sunsteel Strike and Moongeist Beam and abilities like Mold Breaker, Teravolt, and Turboblaze can bypass this.

Usage Tips

Lugia's role is fairly straightforward. After threats like Primal Groudon and Arceus-Ground are revealed to be offensive variants, Lugia can be switched into them liberally to simply wall them and stall them with Toxic. Boosted threats can be phazed with Whirlwind or dealt with by Psychic or Ice Beam depending on the foe. That said, several conditions must be fulfilled in order for Lugia to effectively and consistently check offensive threats.

Avoid any status ailments. Both poison and burn will invalidate Multiscale, while paralysis significantly diminishes Lugia's ability to check foes like Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, as they will strike Lugia first if it is paralyzed. Avoiding status moves will not be easy, however, as many Arceus formes carry Toxic and so do a majority of Primal Groudon variants. Statused Lugia should be cured as soon as possible if a Pokemon with a cleric move is given a chance.

Keep Stealth Rock away from the field by any means necessary. Lugia's effectiveness as a wall depends on whether its Multiscale is intact or not, and Stealth Rock is worse than other factors that cripple Multiscale due to Lugia's weakness to said entry hazard. Be quick to identify and pressure Stealth Rock users like Primal Groudon and Arceus-Ground from the opposing team, eliminating them if possible. As entry hazard users have to be out of play for Lugia to have breathing room, even trading Toxic with Lugia against Stealth Rock setters may be a worthwhile decision if Lugia's team has cleric support. If Stealth Rock is set, have a teammate like Giratina-O or Arceus-Dark swiftly remove it from the field so Lugia can face setup sweepers with Multiscale intact and thus maximize its chance to reliably check them before they proceed to threaten Lugia's team.

Do not attempt to stall every foe with Toxic. As Lugia switches into foes, there is a considerable chance that the likes of Primal Groudon, Arceus-Ground, and Mega Lucario will set up. As Lugia can only handle the first hit with Multiscale, boosted foes should be promptly phazed with Whirlwind or Dragon Tail before they overpower Lugia with a second attack after breaking Multiscale.

Team Options

In order for Lugia to provide its team with strong defensive presence, it must be employed on teams where various Pokemon can consistently remove Stealth Rock from the field and provide cleric support.

Pokemon like Arceus-Ground, Arceus-Dark, and Giratina can provide Defog support and effectively handle Primal Groudon or Necrozma-DM. Arceus-Ground is notable for its ability to offensively check Dragon-types with Ice Beam in the event where Lugia does not have said moves, and revenge kill Primal Groudon and Necrozma-DM. Both Arceus-Dark and Giratina can avoid Shadow Tag users, and the former can check dangerous wallbreakers like Ultra Necrozma and Lunala while the latter can effectively absorb status for Lugia and handle Ho-Oh well.

Mega Sableye is another noteworthy partner that can provide entry hazard control with Magic Bounce. Magic Bounce is useful for bouncing back Stealth Rock and other status moves, punishing a foe's attempt to hinder Lugia. Mega Sableye also offensively checks Ultra Necrozma and Extreme Killer Arceus, which Lugia struggles to take down immediately, with Foul Play. The ability to completely shut down defensive Necrozma-DM and benefiting from Lugia's Toxic with Fake Out are other notable reasons why Mega Sableye has good synergy with Lugia.

Clerics like Chansey and Blissey can cure Lugia's status with Heal Bell and absorb status themselves thanks to Natural Cure. They can also deal with powerful special attackers like Xerneas and Primal Kyogre more consistently with their sheer special bulk. Xerneas and Magearna are appropriate clerics as well, and they can also check Dark-types and, in the former's case, Marshadow.

As Lugia struggles to do much against Steel-types, Primal Groudon and Ho-Oh can be good partners. Primal Groudon sets Stealth Rock to keep Yveltal in line and makes up for Lugia's passivity with its offensive presence. Ho-Oh can spread various status ailments to facilitate Lugia's attempt to stall foes with residual damage, and Lugia appreciates Ho-Oh's ability to spread burns and further worsen physical attackers' matchup against it. Ho-Oh's Regenerator is also worth noting, as this allows Ho-Oh to effectively scout many Primal Groudon and Necrozma-DM sets without sustaining much damage. Scouting aforementioned foes is somewhat dangerous for Lugia due to them potentially carrying Stealth Rock or other status moves.

Entry hazard users can make Lugia's Whirlwind and Dragon Tail more useful and also punish Toxic-immune Pokemon every time they switch into Lugia. Primal Groudon, Arceus-Ground, Arceus-Dark, and Tyranitar are Stealth Rock users that can be employed on teams that Lugia generally secures its place in. Ferrothorn and Skarmory can set Spikes, which harshly punishes Steel-types' attempts to take advantage of Lugia, and they can check some troublesome foes like Primal Kyogre and Necrozma-DM, respectively.

Mega Gengar can trap and remove clerics to prevent them from curing poison and take advantage of Lugia spreading poison with Hex. In events where Lugia fails to stop offensive foes but manages to put them on a timer, Mega Gengar can trap and revenge kill them.

Toxapex can set Toxic Spikes to further aid Lugia's attempt to Toxic stall foes, can check Marshadow, and can check many sweepers that remain as the last Pokemon with Haze.

Pursuit trappers like Tyranitar and Alolan Muk can trap and remove Mega Gengar from play.
