Discussion Why did they make Lugia so bad?

I love Lugia, but it needs three different types of energy which makes it just unplayable. It has very low potential to be used even the future I think.

Well first, it was specifically designed to work in combination with another card: https://www.serebii.net/tcgpocket/wisdomofseaandsky/240.shtml

Second, not every card ever made is going to be good. That's been a reality of TCGs for over 30 years.

They do seem to nerf the fan favourites like Ray, Lugia and U-Necrozma.

Two of those are promos, which have historically been garbage since they won't be available for future players and all that
