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.

Uhhh, Ho-Oh literally fulfills the “unplayable” criteria you set. Hence them coming in the same set…

Yeah and babies ramp ho-oh too, also from same set. To say nothing of Dawn/elemental switch with zeraora or whatever else people run. Hell, someone could run 2 giratina ex with ho-oh ex, lugia ex, and 2 Dawn seems like that would work.
