You need the Silver Wing, and Lugia can only be seen on saturday & sunday :/
Strange that he wouldn't be there on Sunday like he should be.

I think that you have to catch Entei, Rikou, and Suicune before you can catch Lugia, though. :c
Thats for Ho-oh not Lugia,
Oh yeah Lugia starts at Lv 60 so prepared.
