Lugia moves
I want to power up a Lugia (93%, Atk15/Def14/Sta13). It currently have Dragon Tail and Hydro Pump.
I want to use TM to have better move than that but I wonder if I should aim for Sky Attack (and keep DT) to have a Mewtwo anchor or for the more general Extrasensory/Future Sight combo.
What would you do?
Thanks

If the only thing that worries you is Mewtwo then honestly keep it as DT/HP until after Mewtwo goes (it too will probably be temporary like the birds) then change it afterwards.
For reference Pokebattler reckons that against Confusion/Focus Blast Mewtwo raid that 6 x level 30 DT/HP Lugia will take 23.8% of Mewtwo's health whereas 6 x level 30 DT/HP will take 21.6% of Mewtwo's health. So on average for one Lugia the difference between the output by DT/SA Lugia and DT/HP Lugia is 0.37% of Mewtwo's HP. Not worth it to change moves solely for Mewtwo in this case.
Personally I changed my Hydro Pump Lugia to Future Sight to serve the dual roll of helping to solo Machamps AND make soloing Focus Blast Gengar a piece of cake also.
