Lugia (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

}}

In {{Pokémon XD}}, Shadow Lugia, codenamed '''XD001''', is a main part of the storyline, and [[Cipher]]'s ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]].

==Biology==

Lugia leads the [[Legendary birds]]. When they fight over territory, Lugia is the only Pokémon that can quell their ceaseless fighting, as observed in the [[M02|second Pokémon movie]]. Much like the birds, it possesses the ability to control the weather; most notably, it can calm and give rise to storms. It is said that a light flutter of its wings is capable of causing winds powerful enough to tear down cliffs. If it were to flap its wings, it could hypothetically spawn storms lasting as long as 40 days. It is highly intelligent, and because of the devastating power it could accidentally inflict, it isolates itself deep underwater and tends to sleep in solitude. Lugia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Aeroblast}}. It is extremely {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rare}} and is hardly ever seen.

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===

====[[Lugia (M02)]]====

A parent Lugia and its child (nicknamed Silver by [[Oliver]]) lived near [[Silver Rock Isle]] in the [[Whirl Islands]]. [[Dr. Namba]] attempted to capture both the parent Lugia and Silver for {{an|Giovanni}} in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]''. and ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]''. Ash and Misty (Brock was not along with them) act as if this was their first time seeing a Lugia, as if the second movie never took place. Meowth, as well, said that he'd "never seen a Pokémon like that before!" On the contrary, the dub pays mention of the Lugia that was seen in the Orange Islands, with both James and Ash stating that it was "like" the one they'd seen in the Orange Islands. In both versions, Ash first refers to the baby Lugia as a "mysterious Pokémon."

When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Lugia will fly up out of the stage and return in the background, where it unleashes a powerful {{m|Aeroblast}} on the stage.

''"A Diving Pokémon. A legendary Pokémon often referred to as 'guardian of the seas,' it has the impressive ability to control the wind. Lugia typically spends its time quietly at the bottom of the ocean. Highly powerful in all areas, Lugia's Aeroblast move is especially powerful. It uses strong flapping of its wings to target damage on a foe's weak spot."''

'''NA''': ''Despite being a Psychic/Flying-type Pokémon, Lugia sleeps on the ocean floor. Legend says the flapping of Lugia's wings can create storms that last up to 40 days. It's impossible to know for sure, but in Smash Bros., Lugia definitely brings a storm with its Aeroblast attack.''

<!-- Please do not add trivia referring to the episode of E.R. which mentioned Lugia. That belongs on the page: "List of references to Pokémon in popular culture," not here. -->

* Lugia is the only Legendary Pokémon to be part of [[Viz Media]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 1}} DVD series.

* Before the introduction of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Lugia was known as "Pokémon X." In the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Dr. Namba]] also refers to Lugia as "Pokémon X."

**Perhaps coincidentally, it also is known by its codename, '''X'''D001, in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness—also long before its true identity is revealed.

* In {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, Lugia, like {{p|Ho-Oh}}, has the same encounter music as normal [[wild Pokémon]]. The same was true for the [[legendary beasts]] before they received unique encounter music in {{v2|Crystal}}. However, Lugia and Ho-Oh got their own unique battle themes in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

* Despite not being a {{t|Water|Water type}}, Lugia has occasionally been depicted as a {{ct|Water}} in the [[Lugia (TCG)|Trading Card Game]].

* In the book adaptation of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Lugia is mistakenly referred to as a {{2t|Water|Flying}} type Pokémon.

* Lugia's [[Generation IV]], {{Gen|V}}, and {{Gen|VI}} Pokédex entries that mention it being able to cause a 40-day storm may be a biblical reference to {{wp|Noah's Ark}}.
