Additional Lugia Countersching Lugia
These Pokemon are weaker than the counters mentioned above, but they are still viable, especially in large raid groups:
- Steelix with Iron Tail/ Crunch
- Slowbro with Water Gun/ Ice Beam
- Slowking with Water Gun/ Blizzard
- Umbreon with Snarl/ Foul Play
- Houndoom with Snarl/ Foul Play
Catching Lugia
Lugia is much larger than Articuno and its target areas are very much easier to hit. Warning! Lugia’s attack is long.
We would suggest watching a couple of them before throwing at first to get used to the timing
We Would highly recommend using the golden razz as the base catch rate is 2% (With Golden razz, catch rate is 5% + etc bonuses such as curveball)
