Notes

|
A yellow-orange ball forms in front of Lugia's mouth. Lugia's body then starts to glow blue and it fires multiple beams of yellow-orange from its mouth which eventually converge into a single destructive beam, surrounded by a vortex of wind, which is fired at the opponent, or Lugia opens its mouth and blue energy gathers inside it. It then fires a massive beam of blue energy from its mouth at the opponent.

Trivia
- Aeroblast and Spacial Rend are variations of one another, and are the signature moves of the version mascots of the secondary versions of the first two even-numbered generations.
- In Generation II, the anime, and the second Pokémon movie, Aeroblast is portrayed as one or more beams of destructive energy. However, starting in Generation III and the Super Smash Brothers series, Aeroblast is depicted as a concentrated, hurricane-like vortex stream.
- Aeroblast is the only Flying-type move introduced in Generation II.
