Favorite Gold/Silver Legendary's!
What is your favorite legendary in Pokemon Gold And Silver? Here are options if you don't know all of them.
Mewtwo Mew Ho-Oh Lugia Raikou Entei Suicune Celebi |
Of the Second Generation, probably Raikou because it's so much better than the other two trio Pokémon. That and Lugia, because I think Lugia has a better typing than Ho-Oh (that and, you know, Moltres exists so... Typing)
|
Lugia looks like Pidgeot. Lugia!
It has a new type for a legendary. The others ae similar to earlier legendaries. |
There are so may good legendaries available in Johto and to keep things fair I'm gonna limit myself to just Gen 2 Pokémon! I think the legendary beasts are fantastic and I think I prefer them to the birds in Kanto - they might be my favourite legendary trio overall! Celebi is awesome too and I love all of the pixie Pokémon - it especially stands out to me because of its role in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon where it and Grovyle help you escape from Dusknoir. Lugia is cool too - I loved its role in the Ruby Destiny ROM Hack series and it has its own Shadow form in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness! But I think my number one favourite has to be Ho-Oh. The thing is absolutely astounding. It really struck me from the first time I seen it in the anime - it was breathtakingly beautiful and I thought it was amazing! It's such a tank in competitive use as well so I can't see beyound it honestly. |
My vote goes to Ho-oh! It's so beautiful and is super special because it appeared in the very first Pokemon anime episode :D
I quite like all of the legendary Pokemon available in this gen though. Too bad Celebi was really hard to obtain :< |

It is a tough call because these are both outstanding Pokemon with the same base stat total, they also both have juicy movepools, but if I were to chose between them based on typing I think Ho-oh has a stronger claim to the throne. Moltres is a noble Pokemon indeed, but with Ho-oh's extra bulk giving him 100 pt higher base stat total than Moltres + a more dynamic movepool with access to recovery I feel even the legendary birds must bow their heads to the mighty rainbow bird ;) https://media4.giphy.com/media/yNhS7s8IbjTLG/200_s.gif |

Yes, Lugia would get the advantage of the first move in a head to head match up. Neither Pokemon would be able to OHKO though. I would give the battle to Lugia in the scenario you outlined provided Lugia's stats raise on the first move through ancient power, making Lugia's attack high enough to faint Ho-oh on the second turn before it can recover. This could certainly happen. But the odds of Ho-oh burning Lugia with sacred fire on his first turn are 40% higher. If this happened instead of the stat increase then the tables turn. The bonus of status altering moves is another reason why I think of ho-oh normally as more versatile, but that's just me! Raikou, Lugia, Charizard, all of them are top of the line :D |
If stealth rock was set up by any Pokémon previously (on either field) the considerable drop to Ho-Oh's HP nails it shut. With moves like Rain Dance available, it cuts Ho-Oh's Stab base in half and what's more is that Lugia has higher Defence stats on top (only if Sunny Day or other weather effects are put in place). With Waterfall available, it would decimate Ho-Oh's health due to it's bad Defence (in comparison). The only way Ho-Oh would win with Sacred Fire is relying on a coin flip on that Burn. Without that Burn, a 2 hit Waterfall puts Ho-Oh down on the mat. Sacred Fire also has that 5% chance of missing as well. Those are too many chances when it comes down to guaranteed wins. I still feel that the Speed Lugia has over Ho-Oh grants that advantage.

Out of all the legendary Pokemon introduced in Johto, I would say that Lugia is my favorite. It's probably in my top 3 favorite legendaries of all time, both in part to memorable battles I had with it in Pokemon Gold, and because of the second Pokemon movie, which is still my favorite of the franchise.
|
Ho-oh, is my favourite legendary and my mascot is also Ho-oh.
|
Honestly I love them all hahaha.
Lugia has an amazing design, and I loved it in the Pokémon 2000 movie. But Ho-oh too has a beautiful design and concept. But if I have to choose just one, I think it would actually be Suicune. I loved chasing it around in Crystal and it has a gorgeous design <3 |
I reallllly like the gen 2 legendaries. The three beasts, Ho-oh and Lugia. Design-wise, I'm most fond of Raikou and Ho-oh, but I think Lugia is a great concept and design too, before we got too many sharp looking legendaries...
|
Favorite legendary?
Suicune. Enough said. |
Ho-oh because it's very beautiful, Lugia because it's very cool...
And Suicune, because it's both! I won't deny my bias due to Crystal being my first game, but Suicune really feels like an embodiment of beauty and power to me. |
Lugia is my top pick. I love the design. Also, the second movie totally helped me in seeing how cool Lugia is!
|
I'd say Lugia. I love it's smooth design and simplistic color pallet.
Next would most likely be Suicune. It's so pretty. |
Lugia , I loved the moves it could learn - hydro pump, psychic, recover, aeroblast
|
I totally like Lugia and Ho-oh
Also the design and their important roles in storyline. Also, Suicune. |
Lugia and Raikou (prefer Raikou over Lugia actually).
|
Lugia is my all time favorite legendary. Suicune is definitely up there as well.
|
Lugia is my favorite Pokemon of All-Time!
|
Lugia, raikou, and celebi.
And im pretty happy that the movies these legendaries had were pretty good. |
Mew is my favorite because I'm a sucker for cute Pokémon.
For Johto legendaries, I've always loved Lugia partly because of nostalgia. It's design is amazing too though, cool but simple. |
Ho-Oh! Lugia! Entei!
...and Suicune/Raikou are ok but THOSE THREE. Oh right, Celebi too. Love Celebi as well! :) Honestly though the main three I can't choose between, they're all so special to me. I've never played Silver though so I never got to fully ENJOY Lugia but alas. Ho-Oh is just that amazing! |
