Lugia is one of the legendary Pokemon in the game, and as such, it requires a bit of effort and patience to catch. Here are some tips that can help you in your quest to catch Lugia:
Raid Battles
Lugia is one of the most powerful Pokemon in the game, and as such, it can only be caught through Raid Battles. To participate in a Raid Battle, you will need to have a Raid Pass, which can be obtained from Gyms or purchased from the in-game shop. Once you have a Raid Pass, look for a Lugia Raid near you, and join the battle.
Tips:
- Assemble a team: Lugia is a dual Psychic/Flying-type Pokemon, which makes it weak against Dark, Electric, Ghost, Ice, and Rock-type attacks. Assemble a team of Pokemon with these types of attacks to increase your chances of defeating Lugia.
- Timing is key: Lugia has a high CP (combat power) and can be challenging to catch. Wait for the right moment to use your Premier Balls, which are given to you after defeating Lugia in a Raid Battle. Aim for Lugia’s head, as this will increase your chances of a successful catch.
- Use Golden Razz Berries: Golden Razz Berries are rare items that can be obtained from Raid Battles, Research Tasks, or purchased from the in-game shop. These berries increase your chances of catching a Pokemon, so use them on Lugia to increase your chances of success.
- Master the Curveball: When throwing Pokeballs at Lugia, try to master the Curveball technique. This involves spinning the Pokeball before throwing it, which will give it a curve trajectory. This technique can increase your chances of a successful catch.
