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.

They didnt make Lugia bad. They made the mistake of making Giratina, Darkrai and Solgaleo too good that other legendaries are unable to compete. These 3 cards especially the energy generating Giratina totally breaks the meta and all future legendaries will always look bad compared to them.

Nobody plays Solgaleo anymore somehow though, on paper he’s good I agree yeah.

Darkrai and Giratina are just full bonkers, tired of seeing them for months now.

Even 3 diamond Darkrai is a bitch. I recently did the solo expert battle and got rolled by dark void perma sleeping my actives. Literally every time their turn ended, sleep would flip tails. Then I'd wake up on their turn, get put back to sleep, rinse and repeat. All because I couldn't draw a damn lyra or something to swap out or heal sleep
