    Ok we ALL know Ho-Oh is the coolest. Lugia fans unfortunately are not aware that Ho-Oh is infinitely better. This was done recently somewhere else on the Internet and I think it's a fun thing to do!

    So! Basically this thread is come up with as many reasons as to why Ho-Oh is better.

    Lugia fans: You're free to make your own thread... but we all know Ho-Oh is the best ;)

    1. Ho-Oh is fire type and can burn down Lugia's entire cave if it wanted.

    Let's see how far we can go! In each post list a new reason as to why Ho-Oh is better :) Now go!

    2. Ho-oh's theme is a bit better I have to admit. It keeps its intensity the whole way and I love the Japanese influence to it.

    Lugia is still better though
     
    Ho-Oh is very colourful and elegant, it could burn Lugia to a crisp with its Sacred Fire.

    The best fire birb. Meanwhile, Lugia isn't even a water birb. It isn't even a birb. What is it even, and why. Ho-oh at least is something.

    At least Ho-Oh has a typing that would make sense, where as Lugia's typing is a bit questionable.

    Also design-wise way more beautiful.

    Ho-Oh's name. It is exactly the same if reversed. What's Lugia? Aigul? It's practically a Wingull!
     
    Lugia avoids burn damage with Sub and proceeds to toxic stall Ho-oh to death. Checkmate :)

    Also, Ho-oh is quad-weak to rocks.

    Aha but! This is practically a Ho-Oh fanclub so we don't take to bad words about Ho-Oh here very kindly! #11... Ho-Oh wins because it is obviously the most loved here ;)

    Ho-oh has clearly superior tail feathers. Its tail feathers are in a different class altogether.

    In fact, the degree to which Ho-oh's array of tail feathers dazzle is at least an order of magnitude higher than Lugia's tail feathers. Science proves this. Just look at those feathers.

    You see? Science.
     
    Ho-Oh is better offensively with that 130 base attack stat and Sacred Fire and Brave Bird.

    Sacred Fire is magnitudes more useful a move than Aeroblast.
     
    Ho-Oh has probably left gold at the end of a rainbow. What's Lugia done? Made a whirlpool? Lugia please.
     
    The word HO-OH is always the same whether you flip it horizontally or vertically. No other Pokemon name (especially Lugia) is that symmetrical.
     
    That thing in the sky Ash saw when he started his journey, so long ago, was a Ho-Oh! The story of the burnt tower just makes gen 2 one of the many things I like about it.
