Does Ho-oh really lose that badly? I mean doesn't Ho-oh have Sacred Fire to counter its attacks or something? Maybe Mewtwo would have been a better opponent...I don't know.
P.S: Do they really have a Pokemon manga with mortal characters?
Especially if they go back and forth between Rain Dance and Sunny Day, in which case, the result could go either way.
Lugia's base special attack = 90
Ho-oh's base special defense = 154
Waterfall alone ain't gonna beat it.
Good thing Ho-oh's got Roost and Recover then.
Don't know about Aqua Tail, but Sacred Fire will deal more damage to Lugia than Zen Headbutt and Aeroblast will to Ho-oh (the latter of which isn't even effective against the phoenix type-wise), especially with SF being physical now instead of special, making it stronger.
Ain't that much spite. The only rock attack Lugia learns anyway is Ancient Power, which is special now instead of physical, giving Ho-oh a considerably better chance to survive it, especially with Calm Mind and such.
If the move causes a burn it probably will, which it's got a 50% chance of doing so unlike other fire attacks. Then Ho-oh can proceed to do more damage with Thunder/Thunderbolt, Overheat, or something.
And Lugia's no Deoxys, so Psycho Boost won't KO Ho-oh.
Also, Ho-oh resurrected three dead Pokemon in a burnt tower and in doing so, created Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. Lugia hasn't displayed such mystical powaz. At least not on that level.
Overall damage wise Aqua tail and a Crit Aeroblast > Sacred fire. And as Lugia is mentioned to have control of the weather ie keep rain dance on, hydro pump and aqua tail do more damage. (especially aqua tail now) Lugias speed will allow it to get the first/more hits in and evade.
Yeah Ho-oh has the healing powers but Lugia has the destructive ones. A flutter of his wings can blow apart houses, strong flap can make a 40 day storm.

Even with a critical hit, Aeroblast still isn't very effective against Ho-oh, and not like Sacred Fire is the only decent move its got against Lugia. Although Lugia has a good chance of winning here, it's not guaranteed either, and can still go either way depending on the circumstances. I've beaten plenty of Lugias with a Ho-oh before.
Easily countered by Sunny Day.
This is true, although a Ho-oh holding Choice Scarf, Salac Berry, Quick Claw, or some other held item of the sort can fix that problem easily enough.
Ho-oh's powaz go beyond just healing, as he transformed three deceased Pokemon into elemental legendary beasts that race casually across the land. Raikou shoots bolts of lightning from the rain clouds on its back, Entei shoots flames hotter than volcanic magma & can make a volcano erupt on the other side of the world when it roars, and Suicune purifies water & can walk across it, along with having a variety of wind powers; and Ho-oh created all three of them.
Ho-oh's creation of the three beasts > blowing apart houses and causing 40-day storms
Ho-oh also has much greater control of his powers. Lugia isolates itself deep underwater to hibernate because he has such trouble controlling his.
