Editor analysis

Lugia scores well in simulations thanks to its incredible stats and neutral matchup profile. It finally has coverage to hit Steel types at the cost of a little speed, an exchange Lugia is more than happy to make. Its Psychic typing puts it in the crossfire of Lunala and Lunala's counters, so prepare accordingly.
