Whirl Islands and Lugia
Equipped with the Whirlpool technique, you can now access the Whirl Islands along Route 41. You will also need Strength and
Waterfall (and of course, Surf) to navigate the dungeons here. If you have the Silver Wing, you will also be able to summon the Legendary Pokemon Lugia here, and with persistence (and a little bit of luck), you will capture it! Players of Pokemon Silver will get
the Silver Wing first (by driving Team Rocket out of the Radio Tower), so they will be able to catch Lugia and use it against the Elite Four. Pokemon Gold players must wait to get the Silver Wing until much later in the game. There are four islands here, but the one to the northeast is what you want for Lugia. In the first cave, exit via the ladder in the upper right. This will bring you to a ridge along the east end of a large cavern. Follow this ridge south and go down the ladder. Grab the item ball there (Max Revive) and use Surf to swim south to the cave mouth (not the ladder; that is too far south). This cave opens to Lugia's chamber, so save the game before you engage it in battle. Lugia has tons of HP and can heal itself with Recover, so this will be a long and difficult battle. Electric, Ice, Rock and Darktype attacks are all good choices to chip away at its HP, and consider using Accuracyreducing techniques such as Flash to improve your Pokemon's chances. Putting it to sleep is a good idea, of course. You want to catch this Pokemon, not knock it out, because if you K.O. it it's gone for
good, so if you have a Pokemon with False Swipe you're in good shape. Once it's down to a tiny amount of HP, toss Great Balls, Heavy Balls and Ultra Balls like there's no tomorrow!
If you want to explore the rest of this mazelike series of caves you can find a bunch of useful items, including: Ultra Ball, Guard Spec, Nugget, Two Full Restores, Carbos, Escape Rope, Calcium
and Max Ether.
This area is also the only place to catch Seel and Horsea, who can now eventually evolve into Kingdra (when Seadra is traded holding the Dragon Scale).
NOTE: Players of Pokemon Gold will be able to come here and try to catch Lugia only after getting the Silver Wing in Pewter
City.
