Using Lugia to truly solo a Machamp- Sky Attack or Future Sight?

Sky Attack and Future Sight are both super effective on Machamp, which one is the optimial, or they are actually very similar in performance?

You can have both.
Extrasensory is a quick attack.
Sky Attack is a charge move.

lol it's all good. I would personally go with Sky Attack since it gives you some room to work with if you build up too much energy or faint right before building a full bar for Future Sight to go off. Sky attack being a 2 bar move plus Machamp being weak to it really helps. Also it depends on your play style as well. Do you like to dodge or do you like to take the hits to build your meter faster?

Obviously you mean Sky Attack or Future Sight, it seems very close between the two against Machamp. Seems the champs moveset means most, you would have to have double fighting to have a chance

I believe the true one on one solo attempt requires prefect dodging, so it would be sky attack. You're certain to miss dodges with future sight.

Yeah, I would think SA will be a better bet. SA cast-time is 2 sec, very fast (it's just slightly slower than Dragon Claw @ 1.7 sec), whereas while FS is relatively fast for a 1-bar, 2.7 secs still runs a risk.

Another understated matter is how much less energy wastage from multi-bars, especially in this rubber-banding lag situations. Coz not only u had to dodge perfectly, but also try to beat the clock, so wasted energy for otherwise potentially more charge moves usage will matter too.

As mentioned above, sky attack by all means for 1 on 1 vs Machamp. Good luck and let us know the outcome, no matter the end result. Make a video too please if easy for you.

I need to wait for some CTM then... I have a sky attack Lugia but only 82%, I stopped powering him up at lvl 31. My best one is a 14/15/15, at level 35, still powering up, but it knows future sight...

If urs already FS, do try it on the machamp too. Pokebattler sims shows that it's abt the same timings as SA. One advantage I might see is that it could allow the boss to use his charged move less often, so less to dodge in this sense ;)

I'd prefer Sky Attack, but I have Future Sight, and I'm not wasting TMs going back and forth to Hydropump. Because make no mistake: that will happen.
