Lugia a Tank?!

[Slowbro's Master]

Would Lugia make a good tank?
i know the majority of u all r against using 00bers but please help....
i was thinking

Relaxed
Pressure
Leftovers
-Reflect/Light Screen
-Recover
-Toxic
-Aeroblast

Woudl this work?

[Jo Mamma]

Yes, Lugia would make a great tank. There are probably many different movesets that would work for Lugia.

[Absol]

I'd use Lugia for a special tank...

Lugia@Leftovers
~Calm, 252-HP, 252-SpDef, 4-SpAtk
Calm Mind
Psychic
Surf
Rest

just sitting there would be enough to stop them... CM 1-2 times and then just destroy them...

[BrocktheRock]

If he was to be a tank wouldn't you want to give him some defense EVs too?

like-

Lugia@Leftovers
Pressure
Calm
252 Def, 252 HP, 6 Sp Atk
Calm Mind
Hydro Pump
Psychic
Earthquake
-i know EQ looks a bit out of place, it counters his weakness to elctricity a bit, looks good to me lol

[Absol]

no, Lugia is a special wall...

[Ninetales]

With Absol's Lugia set, electric attacks would barely effect it. A good advantage for Lugia being a special wall.

[Absol]

also, Hydro Pump is not as good as Surf in this set... with a wall, PP matters...

[Slowbro's Master]

Thats cool and the pressure helps too.
This him at the moment

Leftovers
-Calm Mind
-Relfect
-Psychic
-Toxic

So far this set has been working well but he lacks the recovery unless u count the leftovers but that is only like 14 HP per turn so...
it is a great Smart contest too!!!
All he needs to win is the Master contest!!!

[shineyaltaria]

Just so you know, for every 16 HP you will recover 1 HP with Lefties. Good luck in the Master!

Got smarts?

[Absol]

Reflect is worthless on a special sponge... also, Rest >>>>> Toxic... Rest gets rid of the status conditions which you will face...

[Ninetales]

Yes, replace Reflect with Rest. It would give Lugia a better chance for survival.
