Ho-Oh or Lugia?

  • I have heard that there is one, and Ho-oh and Lugia star in it, clashing against each other.

    Also, Ho-oh would win. I am not saying this because I like him more, but its proven. Lugia has really bad Defense, so a Sacred Fire would do way more damage than an Aeroblast or Hydro Pump. Its been proven, Ho-oh takes Lugia's HP down to the yellow with a Normal Effective move, while Lugia doesnt with a move that is Super Effevtive against Ho-Oh.

    See what i mean? Ho-oh is just so amazing cuz it...did...Dalilah (sp?), and she made Ash
    Sorry, forgot this wasnt the DCC x3

    106/130 = really bad? Are you on something, my friend?

    That damage comparison is not because Lugia's Defense is bad, it's that when you put attacking stats into the equation, the answer becomes clearer:

    Ho-Oh's 130 base Attack + STAB vs. 106/130 = very decent damage.
    Lugia's 90 base Special Attack + super-effective + un-STAB vs. 106/154 = lolwut.

    Still, Lugia's not only faster, but runs Reflect in its primary set, so Lugia can set up Relfect, Roost off damage, and can use Toxic and Pressure to cripple Ho-Oh. (Even Choiced, Ho-Oh will still -probably- lose to Lugia, because of Sacred Fire's whopping 8 PP. It'll need a critical to kill it, likely.)

    I like Ho-Oh a lot, though. It just runs into so many problems...the biggest being Stealth Rock.

  • I have and will always be a Lugia fan. Ever since Silver Version came out, it has been one of my favorite Pokemon. I never really cared much for Ho-Oh anyways.

  • Lugia. Ho-Oh looks like a juiced up Farfetched. (I seem to reitterate this point on many different threads lol). Ahhh vanity consumes all.

  • Well playing the games when i was what..7,8?
    Lugia always appealed "better" to me, as well im sure it did for any other kid my age at the time.
    But looking at it now, I still say lugia is a better pokemon then ho-oh.

  • Lugia is stronger no doubt. :p However, I'm totally in love with Ho-oh's phoenix design. They really went the extra mile with it.

    Lugia FTW!!! I like Lugia's move pool better and ho oh is kinda ugly. I've always been a dragon fan too, so I suppose thats also why I'm a fan of it.

  • I like both, but even though you all know me as the silvery fanatic of silverness, my vote goes to Ho-Oh. I've always liked phoenixes more than random water bird dragon things. Now, if Ho-oh were SILVER...
