We have updated our previous Raid Battle Guide and added all the best possible Counters that were released into the game, after Lugia’s introduction. If you don’t have all the latest Pokemon that came out yet, we have even kept the Old counters in this article as well, which will help you get through the Batlle easily. So without any further ado, let’s get started.

Lugia, Boosted by the Windy Weather, is a PSYCHIC and FLYING type and it’s got a number of solid Strong counters.

Lugia Raid Boss CP is found to be 42,753 and it can have a

• Max CP of 2056, for a Level 20 Non-boosted Catch,
• Max CP of 2570, fo Level 25 Boosted Catch.

	MAX CP	3598

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)

The post Legendary Raid Battles: Lugia Raid Boss (Updated with Gen III Pokemon) appeared first on PokéWreck.

A powerful Psychic- and Flying-type Pokémon originally discovered in the Johto region is making a return in the Pokemon GO Raid Battles almost after a year.

As announced by Niantic we will have the chance to battle the legendary bird Lugia Again.

Lugia will start appearing from March 16 and will last until April 2! 

What’s new? As mentioned by Niantic Lugia will feature newly improved Flying-type move Sky Attack. We’re quite confused about this part, as Sky Attack is already available for Lugia, but it is possible that Niantic will rework the move before Lugia goes live.
