Physiology

Lugia is an immense, callous and mythical Pokémon with avian qualities. It has silver-white feathers over most of its body, except for its blue underbelly. Lugia has x fins running along its back, which stand up while flying, but lie flat on its back in the water and on land. The fins are used as rudders for steering in the air and are flattened in the water to reduce resistance. It has two, powerful rear legs with three-toed feet, and two wings with large, finger-like feathers, giving the appearance of hands. Its eyes are masked with ii night blue fins, and 2 similar spikes are at the terminate of its long tail. Lugia's head tapers to a signal and it has a serrated beak, which bears similarities to a dragon's maw. It may be inspired by the Wyvern, a mythical, draconic fauna that stands on ii legs, wings that function equally easily and often has a barbed tail.

Natural abilities

Lugia has the power Force per unit area, which causes the opposing Pokémon to double its PP usage in battle.

Behavior

Known equally the Guardian of the Seas, Lugia is tremendously intelligent and is very gentle with the life around it, despite its colossal size. Due to the fact that it can blow houses away with the unmarried flap of its wings, it isolates itself deep within the bully current, to prevent information technology from harming civilisation. Lugia is also intelligent enough to even speak telepathically, like Mewtwo. It can gracefully wing through the skies and sometimes resembles a bird. It is closely related to Ho-Oh, which is considered to be its rival or polar opposite, as Ho-Oh is the Guardian of the Skies. The ii once both resided in Ecruteak City atop the Tin and Brass Towers and were worshiped by humans until the Brass Tower burnt to the footing and both flew away. Lugia and Ho-Oh are the mascots of Pokémon Aureate and Silverish, as well as the remakes HeartGold and SoulSilver. Strangely, the 2 Pokémon accept completely different types. Fire and Psychic is a very unusual match upward, this is likewise foreign because Lugia knows Water-type attacks, giving Ho-Oh the disadvantage in battle. This may be a reason that these Pokémon have never battled each other in the anime. It is also known that if Lugia flaps its wings, it causes a xl-solar day storm.

It is highly intelligent, and because of the devastating ability information technology could accidentally inflict, it isolates itself deep underwater and tends to sleep in solitude. Lugia is the just known Pokémon that learns Aeroblast. It is extremely rare and is inappreciably always seen.

Evolution

Lugia does not evolve, merely in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness at that place is a Shadow counterpart of Lugia, which is controlled by Cipher - appropriately named Shadow or Dark Lugia.
