As we said, the Shadow Lugia will be the last of Giovanni’s Pokemon you will face. Lugia is a Psychic and Flying-type Pokemon. It has the following possible fast moves – Dragon Tail (Dragon), and Extrasensory (Psychic), and the following Charged Moves – Future Sight (Psychic), Hydro Pump (Water), and Sky Attack (Flying). Lugia is weak to Dark, Electric, Ghost, Ice, and Rock moves, and it is resistant to Fighting, Ground, Grass, and Psychic moves. There are several Pokemon you can use to counter Lugia. A strategy that works really well is to open up with a strong Pokemon like Tyranitar and its Rock attacks, followed by an Electric-type such as Raikou and Magnezone.
- Raikou. Moves: Volt Switch (Electric), Wild Charge (Electric).
- Terrakion. Moves: Smack Down (Rock), Rock Slide (Rock)
- Magnezone. Moves: Volt Switch (Electric), Wild Charge (Electric).
- Tyranitar. Moves: Smack Down (Rock), Stone Edge (Rock), Crunch (Rock).
- Sandslash (Alola). Moves: Powder Snow (Ice), Ice Punch (Ice).
