Eagles do ride air currents to "fly" without flapping their wings but they can never stay in the air IN THE SAME SPOT without flapping their wings, which is what Lugia is doing in that case.
true psychic, but some bird can stay in the same spot without flapping there wings
constantly, which was my point. Of course the occasionally flap to balance and keep in the air, but Lugia does do this if I recall correctly. Reason why I related it to that of a bird of prey, though kestrels do this more evidently as they are smaller. It's like they are hanging in the air, it's really weird.
