How do you catch Lugia in Pokemon crystal version? - Answers

The first thing you have to do is to get the Silver Wing from an old man in Pewter City in Kanto. Just walk around the town, you will eventually see an old man standing around, Talk to him and he will give you the Silver Wing. Then, go back to the Johto region. Go to Olivine City. Make sure you have Surf, Whirlpool. and Flash i think. Surf all along the east coast down from Olivine City until you get to the Whirl Island that is in the bottom right corner of the sea. Use Whirlpool to access the cave. Light up the cave using Flash. Make your way through the cave by going through the ladders at the top of the cave. Eventually you will get to a cave where there is a large waterfall. Go down the waterfall and as soon as you reach the bottom, turn left and there will be another cave. Lugia will be there at Level 70.
