I still disagree! Lugia's movepool is mostly Special based, which Ho-Oh has as his strongest defensive stat. And Lugia's stat is I think 110. A decent advantage.
We should do more fun threads. Like the trios. Beasts vs Birds vs Golems vs Lake Guardians. I'd allow trio masters, but that gives Arceus to the Lake guardians.

The Lake Guardians also have some of the craziest powers. Azelf erases a beings willpower when harmed. They don't even have the willpower to move after that.
Uxie can erase memories if someone comes into contact with its eyes.
Mesprit is just there.
Their souls can also leave their bodies without dying.

Sephiroth takes control of the lifestream and wills Azelf out of existence. That's how a Sephiroth fanboy would put it. I always found those will powers really funny.
Gender: Male Location: 1/9.7'rd Horseman of the Apocalypse
For the record, Azelf rapestomps Sephiroth so hard it's not worth discussing. Being of will-power, with his two friends, is on par with Palkia or Dialga.

Wrong. Ho-oh can legitimately come back to life if he's defeated via Sacred Ash, so the match only continues.
Already mentioned 'em earlier in the thread. Sacred Fire instantly destroyed a tower in Ecruteak and was the very force that created Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. Hydro Pump has no feats that put it above that.
edit:
While slightly more powerful than some of the following attacks in the metagame, Hydro Pump has nothing that actually puts it above Doom Desire, Shadow Force, Special Rend, Roar of Time, or Judgement either.

That's a fact actually, not an opinion, and like I said
feats > gameplay mechanics
How is Hydro Pump, a random blast of water, more powerful than (or on par with) something that can create 3 legendary beasts, or attacks that control space, time, etc.?
Durr, it's performed by the overrated flying-whale.
They believe that a Lugia Water spray > Space/Time Distortion.

Oh right. Sacred Fire is no ordinary fire though obviously. I'll believe Hydro Pump can stop it the day I see it out-perform SF in creating 3 legendary beasts (one of which can use Hydro Pump itself). xD
