Who wins Lugia or Ho-Oh?

In a Pokémon battle, Lugia usually wins due to its superior bulk, typing (Psychic/Flying offers fewer exploitable weaknesses than Ho-Oh's Fire/Flying), and access to powerful defensive moves like Roost and status effects, though Ho-Oh is a potent offensive threat with its high Special Attack and powerful moves like Sacred Fire, making it a close fight depending on strategy and generation.
