Battle Strategies Against Dynamax Lugia

Dynamax Lugia, a Psychic- and Flying-type Pokémon, has weaknesses that Trainers can exploit. It is especially vulnerable to:

Electric-type attacks
Ice-type attacks
Rock-type attacks
Ghost-type attacks
Dark-type attacks

During the event, it is crucial for Trainers to use Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon strategically. The Max Move type of a Dynamax Pokémon correlates with its Fast Attack type. Therefore, it is advisable to equip your Dynamax Pokémon with Electric, Ice, Rock, Ghost, or Dark type Fast Attacks. Gigantamax Pokémon have predetermined G-Max Moves, so choose wisely when selecting which ones to bring into battle.
