Welcome to the Lugia support thread
Overview
Lugia is one of the Legendary Pokémon that is introduced in Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal and it is a flying/psychic type, despite being an aquatic Pokémon. It has said to create a 40 day storm by flapping it’s hand like wings
Why Lugia should join Smash
Since Melee, Lugia was a Pokéball Pokémon and while Lugia’s chance for the second fighter’s pass is quite stacked against it, Lugia would make a great fighter for Smash.
There are multiple reasons why Lugia should join. First of all, Lugia is a Legendary, which we had not have in the roaster since Mewtwo joined the fight. Second, we have not gotten a new flying type Pokémon since Charizard. And third, it’s been a long time since we had a new playable Pokémon from Gen 2, never mind the lack of music from that generation.

Bonus Questions
Q: Is Lugia too big for Smash?
A: They said that to Ridley for years, and if he got in, then Lugia can get in. Besides, Pokémon sizes are not consistent with one another.
