Tips

• Lugia (Lv60) appears only while the Silver Wing from an old man in Pewter City is in your Bag, and it can be fought only once, so save first.
• The caves are dark, so teach Flash; reaching Lugia also needs Surf, Whirlpool and Waterfall, which climbs the falls on B2F.
• Seel appears only in the morning and day (25%); at night Krabby rises to 60%.
• The Super Rod in the south-west cave, B2F and Lugia’s chamber hooks Horsea (30%), Kingler (20%) and Seadra (10%) at Lv40.
• B1F is packed with items: a Full Restore, Carbos, Calcium, Nugget and Escape Rope, plus a hidden Rare Candy, Ultra Ball and Full Restore.
