Okay, Whether Man. I will agree with you on one
thing... Lugia ain't all that. However, there's a tiny
inaccuracy in your article. Actually, a big, huge,
glaring inaccuracy. You only have to discard ONE of
the three energies attached to Lugia (water, fire, or
lightning.) This makes it slightly more playable than
what you made it out to be.

Now, the reasons you gave are still valid, to a point.
Having to find 3 different colors of energy and keep
them all on him while discarding one every turn is
going to be hard with Removal breathing down your
throat. As you said, MP Mewtwo kills him in two or
three turns (more likely two; most people are going to
slap down a PlusPower rather than give Lugia's trainer
an extra turn to work with.) And Mr. Mime lays the big
bird out flat on his back.

Just settin' the record straight.
