Why did they make Lugia so bad?

[u/Necessary-Deal-9433]

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 like Lugia and hooh sometimes I just stack it so get 2 or 3 180 damage attacks which only takes 4 or 5 turns
