i under stand that lugia is aimed at the opposite f ho-oh, being water type would only make sence. and since it's already flying, it would be X4 damage if it was water, making it even weaker.

"Ron, you don't have a wife."
"Oh, yeah."


Dobby will have to punish himself most grievously for coming to see you, sir. Dobby will have to shut his ears in the oven door for this.

Dobby didn't mean to kill anyone. Dobby only meant to maim or seriously injure.

And I always thought that gyrados should be a water and dragon type.. I wonder why they didn't make him one
It's been speculated, but not confirmed, it wasn't made part dragon type due to the lack of dragon-type moves.

I wasn't arguing against you in my last post, I was arguing on your side, XD. And that's exactly what coolkatkim22 was saying--both of us were making points against Lugia being part Water-type, which is what you've been doing all along, isn't it?
Sorry. XD Head colds are such a pain. . >.>

It makes sence, especialy since it can learn water moves. when i was little i actualy thought it was water untill i caught it lol. also i think there is too many psychic lengendarys. every single generation has atleast two psychic legendarys.
(gen I:mew mewtwo
gen II:Lugia, celebi
gen III:Jirachi, deoxys, latias, latios
gen IV: Mespirt, uxie, azelf, cresselia)
THERES TOO MANY!!!!!! maybe they will turn lugia to water in soul silver (or maybe not)

You guys do realise he didn't always live around water right?
It only lives in water because it is afraid that it can do too much damage on land or something like that. ( it says so on the bulbapedia and lugias pokedex entrys)

Lack of dragon type moves? That's reasonable, but they could've made more moves then.. Even though it would've taken too long to do that anyway

I wouldn't call them "opposites". They both have a peaceful co-existence. They don't have to be banished to opposite sides of the world to avoid having some huge battle, unlike some other legendaries. They used to live atop the Brass and Tin towers, and never once tried to fight each other. :\ So the whole "Water vs. Fire" thing seems irrelevant to me, since there's not one good reason for them to ever battle.

As said, Lugia aren't naturally from the sea. They have incredible powers that could accidentally cause horrible destruction, so they hide deep in the depths to protect others from being affected by them. Lugia doesn't seem to have any "powers" over water, like, say, Kyogre. They can calm and create storms, but that's more of an atmospheric thing than a strictly water-based ability. It presumably got the "Guardian of the Sea" title after it fled Ecruteak City, and started living in the sea. I think it only lives there because it's the only place it can't do any harm.

Then there's the whole telepathically speaking thing, which, as has been said, is usually considered a Psychic-type power.

There's another thing that could be possible. They have incredibly strong power. This "power" isn't water-specific at all. Psychic types are shown to be very powerful and mysterious. All the psychic types at that time had some special, unnatural power. Mew, Unown, Xatu, Espeon, Wobbuffet... the list goes on. I think it could be purely because Psychic is just more interesting. I mean, it could be in the same class of pokemon that can... swim and squirt water out of their mouths, OR, it could be in with the group that can create invisible walls to block attacks, see the future, eat dreams, teleport, reflect attacks back at the user at twice the power, and travel between dimensions. If I had to choose between placing it into one of those two types of pokemon, I think the choice is obvious.
