lugia vs ho oh (who would win this is a vote kinda

[raquaza killer]

lv 70 lugia can possibly use fly surf thunder and hydro pump

70 ho oh can use thunder bolt fly fire blast enber

 

[Roy G. Biv]

Well with those move sets Ho-Oh because of Lugia's 2x Electric weakness

 

[raquaza killer]

ya man ho oh might lose lugia might win

 

[moments.]

Well those sets is kinda biased and not really reflective of the Pokemon.
If you were to use a set for competitive battling it may be different but this is kinda odd sets. =P

Ho-Oh is not offensively retarded.

Ho-Oh wins, Lugia is a wall with no means of reliable offense, Ho-Oh is a bit of both (though it's typing sucks)

 

[World King]

Lugia is Ultimate Victor: Special-Offensive and Defensive, Calm Mind boosts, Aeroblast... Lugia turns Ho-oh to bits. ​

 

[YOOM-TAH]

An Ancientpower from Lugia could be devastating, given Ho-Oh's 4x Rock weakness. Plus it can learn water attacks. And it is faster.

 

[El Gofre]

Both of those movesets are crap

Lugia wins that match-up, Hydro Pump will tear Ho-oh apart faster than thunderbolt can kill lugia. With EVing and proper sets, I'd still go with lugia.

 

[Sweet Candace]

Lugia wins hands down. It's much faster than Ho-Oh and would knock it out with a Hydro Pump before Ho-Oh even launches an attack

You guys are ignoring Ho-Oh's Base 154 Special Defense, and Lugia's Base 90 SpA.

Hydro Pump is unSTABed, and coming off a Base 90 SpA stat. I say that Ho-oh simply wears down Lugia with either Ancient Power or Sacred Fire.

Your forgetting, in D/P, some WATER moves are physical. What about waterfall, Lugia using that would beat Ho-Oh! Also Ancientpower is 4x more effective on Ho-Oh than normal cos of it's type! So Waterfall and Ancientpower would destroy Ho-Oh!

Ew...Waterfall on Lugia? I really doubt Base 90 attack would OHKO Ho-Oh =/

 

[Rogue planet]

Lugia, now I can say the same thing when this topic comes up again in a few weeks

 

[raquaza killer]

ok id better make this thread difrent

 

[Banjora Marxvile]

Not OHKO Ho-Oh Vance. Just defeat Ho-Oh before Lugia gets defeated.

What stops Ho-Oh from Sacred Firing it, burning it (halving it's Attack) and just Roosting from there?

 

[Banjora Marxvile]

It's a slim chance of being burnt. Anyway, what's to stop a critical hit or even Lugia holding an item or using Refresh to heal itself from burns?

These moves you are suggesting are not on your average Lugia. Besides, I wouldn't call 50% a "slim chance"

 

[Banjora Marxvile]

Still, lugia could get a critical hit when using Ancientpower and OHKO if Lugia is quicker. Also Ancientpower can raise all of Lugia's stats. That's my opinion. I don't wish to argue anymore.

Why are you relying on Lugia to get a crit? And you cannot battle because Waterfall on Lugia is unreliable =/
