I'm glad you asked
The unbanning of Lugia in the National Dex, a significant event within the competitive Pokémon community, may seem disconnected from the realm of basketball and LeBron James' legacy at first glance. However, when we delve deeper, parallels can be drawn between the two seemingly disparate subjects.
LeBron James is widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, if not the greatest. His legacy is built upon his unparalleled skill, versatility, and ability to adapt to any situation on the court. Similarly, Lugia, a legendary Pokémon, holds a prestigious status within the Pokémon competitive scene due to its formidable stats, diverse move pool, and strategic versatility.
The unbanning of Lugia in the National Dex alters the landscape of competitive Pokémon battles, introducing a powerful force that teams must now contend with. Much like LeBron's impact on the basketball court, Lugia's presence demands respect and careful consideration from opponents. Its inclusion in battles necessitates strategic adjustments and innovative tactics from trainers, mirroring the adaptability and versatility that define LeBron's style of play.
Moreover, LeBron James is known for his ability to elevate the performance of his teammates, empowering them to excel and achieve success collectively. Similarly, Lugia's presence on a Pokémon team can bolster the capabilities of its fellow creatures, providing support and strategic advantages that enhance overall performance.
In this sense, the unbanning of Lugia in the National Dex not only reshapes the competitive Pokémon landscape but also adds a new layer of complexity and excitement to the game. Just as LeBron James continually redefines what is possible on the basketball court, Lugia's return challenges trainers to push the boundaries of their strategic prowess and adaptability.
In the broader context of LeBron's legacy, the impact of Lugia's unbanning serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of various spheres of interest and the enduring influence of individuals who transcend their respective fields. Whether on the basketball court or in the world of Pokémon battles, greatness knows no bounds, and the legacies of icons like LeBron James continue to evolve and inspire across diverse domains.

Ok, how da fuck u wrote this in under 2 minutes? ChatGPT?
i do NOT care
U did ask. Also no one liners, and lets try to keep in track with the topic being "Thoughts on Lugia"
i tought u knew how to spell buddy.
If Lugia gets unbanned then obviously Ho Oh needs to be unbanned, right? I mean they are two sides of the same coin, they literally have the same BST its just that Ho Oh's were moved around to be more offensive while Lugia's are more defensive
oh almost forgot to mention that lugia loses to metagame titan meganium. Lugia can't oneshot meganium and it outspeeds standard defensive lugia to toxic it before it can sub up, instantly ending its sweep
I think that since it loses to both Mban and Meganium it'll probably slot at C tier, comparable in viability to moltres

/unjerk Please don't unban Lugia from NatDex OU, I know it sucks in ND Ubers but a guy with this much bulk and access to Tera to get out of its pursuit weakness and tendency to get prankster encored cannot be healthy. Also this is Natdex, he has toxic and twave here remember
/rejerk countered by
as per above calcs
also stealth rocks and sand and if he gets statused once it's OVER, lugia has never been good in ubers so why not give it a chance in OU?? What could go wrong

it's stronger than 
(real) so why not unban that mf too 
Fr now I think Lugia will be too much for the meta with sheer versatility alone, fthis mon will have at least a solid niche from screens ho to hardcore stall
These are the sets I think will be the best/experimented the most
