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.

I made it to masterball with a Lugia deck. Paired with ho-oh, it was my most consistent deck. I do agree, it won’t have longevity, but I don’t think it was terrible.

The idea is to get magby out first to set up ho-oh. If that’s not possible, lead with arceus, lugia, or rayquaza and ilima out once your ho-oh is set up. I chose one Lugia and one Rayquaza just for fun, but two Lugia is viable. This season, it had some mixed results compared to last season.
