This doesn't work like the Onix meme because nobody would think of Lugia as a physical attacker

>>33472546
Why not?

>>33472573
Because it's not a physical attacker

The same could be said about Onix. You would just expect it to be more powerful because it's a legendary.

Because of their appearances. Upon first viewing you would expect Onix, a hard rock snake belonging to an imposing gym leader, would be very physically powerful and crush you. It is then a surprise to find out that its attack is incredibly minimal and you can make fun of it by comparing with other Pokemon. Lugia, however, does not have a build or imposition in which a player would expect it to have a high physical attack and therefore there are no expectations to be thwarted. It also does not help that Lugia has 90 Attack and not something pitiful like 45, so a Trapinch having more Attack than Lugia is essentially just as impressive as a Trapinch having more Attack than Kangaskhan but without any of the surprise.

Yeah but it's special attack is not great either. Pic related is actually higher.

You think that is sad? Trapinch has a higher base attack than Talonflame hell Amoongus has more attack than the ex-bravest of birds but no GF had to need it cause muh priority

talonflame can still catch people off guard with flying gem acrobatics. It's a tiny niche with rocks collapsing the entire strat but it exists

Bane?

Reminder that origami has more defense than lugia

>>33472930
And SSSS works better on crobat, who has better stats in everything except special attack.

>>33473006
it usually does, except for the cases in which a priority flying type move with 190 base power and the ability to muscle past aggron and steelix in UU and +1 speed volc and celesteela in OU is preferred.

>>33472975
Folded nip steel has more defense than over 650 pokemon.
