Lugia is a solid wall and serviceable wincon for the sweeper teams it's placed onto thanks to its monumental bulk and Calm Mind. Air Slash is preferred over the stronger Aeroblast due to having a significantly higher PP count, allowing it to sweep teams without running out of PP against foes like Giratina and Palkia-O, though Psychic Noise is a solid alternative to block walls like Giratina, Blissey, and Arceus formes from healing off the damage it inflicts. Earth Power slams Steel- and Electric-types, like Kingambit, Magearna, and Arceus-Electric for super effective damage. Tera Fairy is a solid defensive typing that replaces Lugia's Dark weakness with a Dark resistance and grants it an immunity to Dragon Tail from Giratina and Dialga, though Tera Ground boosts Earth Power and gives it an immunity to Electric-type moves from Regieleki and Magearna is. Lugia can struggle to break through foes with Encore, status-inducing moves, Taunt, or phazing— like Giratina, Magearna, and Arceus-Dark—so Pokemon like Arceus-Dark, Chi-Yu, and Zacian that can beat these foes are all excellent partners. Lugia is a phenomenal mixed wall, being able to check many of the best wallbreakers in the metagame like Mewtwo, Palkia-O, and Landorus, so Pokemon weak to these threats, like Arceus-Dark, Great Tusk, and Toxapex, all adore its ability to check them.

Lugia is an solid wall and serviceable wincon for the bulkier teams it’s placed onto. Air Slash is preferred over the stronger Aeroblast due to having a significatly higher PP count, allowing it to sweep teams more easily without running out of PP against Pressure pokemon like Giratina. Earth Power slams Steel- and Electric-types, like Kingambit, Magearna, and Arceus-Electric, that would otherwise resist Air Slash for super effective damage. Tera Fairy is a solid defensive typing that replaces Lugia’s Dark weakness with a Dark resistance and grants an immunity to Dragon Tail from Giratina and Dialga. Lugia can struggle to break through foes with Encore, Status, Taunt, or phazing, like Giratina, Dialga (you already have an example of a phaser so I don't think mentioning Dialga is needed), Magearna, and Arceus-Dark, so Pokemon like Arceus-Dark, Chi-Yu, and Zacian who can beat these Pokemon are all excellent partners. Lugia is also weak to entry hazards, so hazard control from Pokemon like Giratina and Great Tusk is appreciated (If you're running boots like you always should you are not weak to hazards. I think it's better if you change this section for how it's weak to Knock off [With Arceus and Zamazenta being good partners because of it]). Lugia is a phenomenal mixed wall, able to check many of the best breakers in the metagame like Mewtwo, Palkia-O, Zacian (Zacian is a bad example since without whirlwind it boosts past you) , and Landorus, so Pokemon weak to these threats, like Arceus-Dark, Great Tusk, and Toxapex all adore Lugia’s ability to check these threats.

. I think it's better if you change this section for how it's weak to Knock off [With Arceus and Zamazenta being good partners because of it])

I opted not to add this as most knockers cannot safely use the move, as tusk dies and cyclizar is seriously chipped by Air Slash/Psynoise

Lugia is an solid wall and serviceable wincon sweeper for the bulkier teams it’s placed onto (why? what does it have to accomplish this). Air Slash is preferred over the stronger Aeroblast due to having a significatly higher PP count, allowing it to sweep teams without running out of PP against foes like Giratina and Palkia-O, though Psychic Noise to block walls like Giratina and Arceus Formes (please mention blissey) from healing off the damage it inflicts is a solid alternative. Earth Power slams Steel- and Electric-types, like Kingambit, Magearna, and Arceus-Electric, that would otherwise resist Air Slash for super effective damage. Tera Fairy is a solid defensive typing that replaces Lugia’s Dark weakness with a Dark resistance (Helping with?) and grants an immunity to Dragon Tail from Giratina and Dialga. (sentence about tera ground boosting earth power and giving an electric immunity.) Lugia can struggle to break through foes with Encore, Status, Taunt, or phazing, like Giratina, Magearna, and Arceus-Dark, so Pokemon like Arceus-Dark, Chi-Yu, and Zacian who can beat these Pokemon are all excellent partners. Lugia is a phenomenal mixed wall, able to check many of the best breakers in the metagame like Mewtwo, Palkia-O, and Landorus, so Pokemon weak to these threats, like Arceus-Dark, Great Tusk, and Toxapex all adore Lugia’s ability to check these threats.
