    Lugia?
     
    Lugia is more powrful and would beat ho oh in a battle but i like ho oh better for its colors and it does have a possibility of winning with dark type moves ;)
     
    I like Lugia better. I've always liked the more peaceful looking version mascots.

    True lugia does look more peaceful im surprised u didnt go for the fire type though lol
    Also idk why they didnt make the types match up at all both flying but weird typing i think lugia shoukd be water it doesnt seem like a psychic type really
    Ever think of mega ho oh and mega lugia i can only imagine ;)
     
    It's always hard for me to decide between these two but I have to pick Lugia. I think it has a slight edge in design and I also prefer Lugia's Whirl Islands to Ho-oh's Bell/Tin Tower. I don't use legendary Pokemon that often but from the few times that I've actually used them, I've found Lugia to be a lot more useful despite its more defensive approach.
     
    Well id say lugia looks more peaceful but ho-oh THE COLORS i mean its got rainbows
     
    Booooo. All you folks need to learn what a cool pokemon looks like. And that's clearly not lugia. It's clearly Ho-Oh. Lugia looks like a mish mash of ideas that are totally uncool. Ho-oh is a goddamn phoenix for a sun for a tail. You guys are all so basic.

    Uncool is relative. I like one thing. You like another one. I'm not wrong. Nor are you. But I don't necessarily like what you like.
     
    Ho-Oh of course. No only is Ho-Oh an amazingly beautiful Pokemon, but it is also the Pokemon that has one of the most memorable battle themes from the G/S/C Days.
     
    Ho- oh is more powerful , has a more powerful special attack , but Lugia has more defense and special defense , so in a defensive team , Lugia is better ... but I much prefer Ho- oh hehe.
     
    For me, I'm a Ho-Oh fan. Lugia is a cool Pokémon and all, but I've always preferred offensive over defensive. And that design, IT'S AWESOME! And I've never really OWNED a Lugia, except in Firered, where I got it from the hidden Islands.
     
    For me, it's got to be Lugia, for sure!

    Overall, its design is pretty fierce-looking, which is something I've always believed legendary Pokémon should have. Well, at least most. When I think of the word legendary, Pokémon that immediately cross my mind are big, powerful, courageous, and (sometimes) intimidating ones, and I'd say Lugia is among one of them.

    Ho-oh is very pretty, and could be categorized here as well, but I feel Lugia defines "legendary" a little further, if you know what I mean.
     
    As much as I love Lugia, I like Ho-oh just a bit more. The reason for this is actually because of HeartGold, as I used to prefer Lugia. But the cutscene where Ho-oh descends/flies around the Bell Tower to battle the player is just so beautiful. Plus, dat battle music. :P
