Lugia Raid Guide

1. Did the writer of this post forget about existence of Lapras? You got Jinx in there but no Lapras…

   haHAA

   • That is no mistake.
     You should have a look at the damage output of pokemon rather just the CP overall ratings (and more importantly before writing troll posts).
     Yet I think the author focussed a bit too hard on this. While on most raid-boss-fights the time beats you, we do not know how legendary battles exactly perform.
     You should have some decently tanky pokemon in too.
     And then Lapras would be a good pick. Cloyster is absolutely viable too.

     Reading all the “still vable counters” set my opinion that the author just took a attack damage orderd list and took the pokemon up to a value.
     But fights can’t work like this. If they all get oneshot you are out of pokemon in 60 seconds.
     To list a Sudowoodo for example can just be a joke.
     Also a lapras, cloyster or ampharos can deal a lot more damage if they can do 1 to 3 more special attacks in their lifetime. Compared to multiple glass-cannon pokemon

2. Oh just a btw, you got Moltres in the text and titles.

3. Jynx (not Jinx) with frost Breath/Avalanche has been mentioned twice: as a first counter but also as an additional counter.

4. “In addition, all STEEL and PSYCHIC type Pokemon take reduced damage from PSYCHIC type moves.” You neglected to mention Dark, which takes even less damage since Dark is immune to Psychic!

5. The quantity-over-quality is strong with this one.

6. Can anybody who had got the free Lugia after the Chicago fest disaster post its characteristics ?

7. 42753 СР, wow!

8. Umm.. We need to get legendary raid passes to battle and possibly capture lugia, right? And to get them we have to battle “hundreds” of raids?

9. There are so many stupid trainers here. How can they fight Lugia using blissey, chansey and snorlax?
   Come on shity people! I know you want keep them, but don’t forget help defeat it using your best DPS pokemon!

10. Finally people!
    I got one Lugia after loosing 2 times using free raid pass, and got it with premium raid pass!

11. He has high IV def, but we can make him defend. What the fvck Niantic?????????

12. Hydro Pump!! :v,

13. I’m not sure whether I should trust that 2056 number. I’ve heard of people getting higher cps than that

    • Pics or it didnt happen… No seriously tough, do you have proof? 2056 seems legit as far as ive heared and seen myself. Captured a 1988 at 76IV.

14. Where’s Lapras?

15. You need about 12 people to take this down.

    • or about 7/8 actually good people

16. Magneton’s moves should be grayed out due to them being legacy moves. But, I would suggest Ampharos with Charge Beam and Zap Cannon because the DPS is higher than Magneton, and while the Attack is slightly lower than Magneton, it’s defense and HP are higher, meaning it’ll last longer.

    • magneton is steel and electric type so takes reduced damage to psychic moves so it will probably last as long with higher DPS

17. today, i got my revenge on this oversized silver buzzard.
    i was in an 18-trainer party and lugia went down at about 100 secs left – it managed to take my final fighter out before defeat (my perfect gyarados) and errored out, soft-locked into a botched gym scene. a reload fixed that, all it took was to get back to the gym and i was facing it in “the wild”.
    i helped a greenhorn player next to me catch his – 1st ball w/ gold razz. after a couple AR photos, i caught mine, again on the 1st ball w/ gold razz.
    not too long after, i remembered about the items i should’ve earned from that raid and looked in the inventory to find the cherry on top for this dessert…a charged TM! i walked out of there with a lugia, a 10km egg from a neighboring gym, and one of my dragonites learning hurricane over hyper beam. i believe 3 or 4 of us successfully caught it.

    the team that helped me:
    – tyranitar bite/stone edge
    – tyranitar bite/crunch
    – jolteon thunder shock/thunderbolt
    – golem rock throw/stone edge
    – dragonite steel wing/outrage
    – gyarados bite/hydro pump
    the raid lugia had extrasensory/sky attack. the caught lugia is cp2016 dragon tail/hydro pump. time to find TMs for it!

18. Bite/Crunch Gyarados does wonders against HP Lugia.

    And Rock Smash/Ancient Power Kabutops. A set with a fast move that’s 4x resisted. Just, lol.

19. Golem is a joke against Lugia, whoever put it on that list has no idea about this game.

    • As long as it doesnt have HP

20. Forgot Lapras.

21. in our team there were 10 players. We took Lugia down with seconds to spare. I just went with the selection of pokemon chosen for me except I removed Blissey(750cp). I then captured Lugia with my first ball and a golden raspberry. Came in at 2006. I then uped her up to 2056. Im lvl27.

22. There is a mistake. In the considerably weaker but viable counters section, it states ¨Lantur¨, not Lanturn.
