How to get lugia in Pokemon gold?

   It's pretty easy to get Ho-Oh in Pokemon Gold. But what about Lugia?
Relax. You don't need to buy Pokemon Silver in order to get Lugia. This will tell you how you can get Lugia in Pokemon Gold.


Step 1:

Beat the Elite Four and Champion Lance. This will give you access to the Kanto region. After the credits roll, go to Professor Elm's lab to get a ticket to the S.S. Aqua in Olivine City. Go to Olivine City and ride the S.S. Aqua to Vermilion City.

Step 2:

Retrieve the Silver Wing. In Pewter City, the old man near the exit to Route 3 will give you the Silver Wing if you talk to him.

Step 3:

Go back to Johto and then head to Whirl Islands

The Whirl Islands are located to the east of Cianwood City. You need a Pokemon that knows the move Whirlpool to access the Whirl Islands.

Go through the cave until you reach Lugia's chamber, and press A in front of Lugia's sprite to go into a battle with the level 70 Lugia. If you need help going through the Whirl Islands, search on YouTube for a video that shows the player going through the cave. You'll also want to have a Pokemon that knows the move Flash, since the cave will be pitch black when you first enter it.
