When summoned, Lugia will appear on the stage, then fly into the background, use its Aeroblast attack, and finally fly off the screen to the background of the stage (similar to the movement of [[Ho-Oh]]).

Even a player gets hit once instead of multiples hits, a single hit has enough knockback to KO at low percentages (roughly 35%), but not to OHKO.

Lugia (ルギア, Lugia) is a creature in the Pokémon media franchise. It appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. 4 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Origin[edit]
Lugia is a Psychic/Flying-type Legendary Pokémon and the version mascot of Pokémon Silver and Pokémon SoulSilver. While not being a Water-type, it is heavily associated with the sea and often slumbers in the depths. In addition, it can learn several Water-type moves. In the National Pokédex, it is registered as #249 and known as the "Diving Pokémon". Prior to its debut in Generation II, it first appeared in the second Pokémon movie, Pokémon the Movie 2000: The Power of One, initially being created for said movie in mind.[1]
Aeroblast is a special Flying-type move with 100 base power, 95% accuracy and an increased chance of dealing a critical hit. It is Lugia's signature move, and thus the only Pokémon able to learn it naturally. Stat-wise, Lugia has great Special Defense, Defense and Speed, but its offensive stats are average, especially for a Legendary Pokémon.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]
When summoned, Lugia will appear on the stage, then fly into the background, use its Aeroblast attack, and finally fly off the screen to the background of the stage (similar to the movement of Ho-Oh). Aeroblast travels around the stage in a random pattern (circular/left to right or right to left/sweeping the ground and vice versa), that will move towards the direction of the summoner's opponents.
Before Lugia flies into the background, any character that makes contact will take 30% damage and sustain extremely high vertical knockback, similar to touching Moltres's wings; it can KO most characters as low as 35%. Though Lugia's body hitbox is not as powerful as Moltres', it covers a larger area due to Lugia being much larger in size. Aeroblast has multiple hits, allowing this attack to be escapable with very quick and precise SDI, though extremely difficult to do so and survive. Aeroblast can inflict up to 440% in a little over 2 seconds, with each hitbox dealing 20% in damage. The knockback inflicted by Aeroblast is extreme, which combined with the massive damage it deals, allows it to potentially OHKO a player trapped in it unless they can tech a wall or ceiling. However, the first hit of Aeroblast can whiff if the opponents are hit at the left or right endpoint of its range. Even a player gets hit once instead of multiples hits, a single hit has enough knockback to KO at low percentages (roughly 35%), but not to OHKO. However, due to its diagonal angle, DI'ing down and away cause this attack KO'ing at early-mid percent (50% onwards). The summoner is immune to all previously mentioned attacks.
Lugia is a powerful Poké Ball Pokémon in Melee, as its huge body hitbox KOs well under 100% and its Aeroblast have high KO potential, while covering a very large area (covering about 80% of Battlefield if summoned in the center). It is also possible for Lugia to KO the same opponent twice (from touching it before it flies off, and then getting hit by Aeroblast), though the likelihood of this situation happening is dependant on the actions of the opponent, making it a rarity. Lugia is the only Pokémon in Melee with this capability.
Due to Lugia being a Legendary Pokémon, the chance of summoning Lugia is rare, with only Mew and Celebi being rarer Pokémon. However, the chance of Lugia appearing out of a Poké Ball is greatly increased in the event match Legendary Pokémon.
Trophy[edit]
Lugia features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery and throughout the various single-player Regular Matches, though it only appears once 200 VS matches have been played.
