- Weakness
Esca27 days agoAlmost nothing really. I suppose it struggles to set up in the face of physical Dark or Rock types? You're going to be hard-pressed to find any mon except Eternamax Eternatus that can set up in front of its weaknesses though. And even then Lugia can typically still get one CM off there, at least, which depending on set (eg Steam Eruption 4th slot for Rocks) can be enough.

Possibly the best Classic mon in the game. Incredibly safe and consistent; fast, bulky, easy setup with CM+Recover and enough SpA that after several CMs you beat even resists. Most egg moves are kinda overkill, though Lumina Crash makes your life faster. Delta Stream passive is great to make it all the more unkillable though. The nature of the mon makes it not fit to be an Endless carry. Being one of two Delta Stream passives does give it an (expensive) role on a VERY specific Delta Stream+Wonder Guard teamstyle.
