Pokémon Soul Silver - Capturing Lugia

After defeating Clair and the Kimono Girls, you are finally able to catch Lugia (Soul Silver) or Ho-Oh (Heart Gold). Since we're playing Soul Silver, our destination is the Whirl Islands, south of Olivine.

Lugia is probably my favorite Pokémon of all time :D It's an incredible tank, with huge defenses, and the attacks, not as powerful as the defense stats, are also pretty good. Lugia is a Psychic/Flying Pokémon that fits in any team, and you can catch it with is signature move, Aeroblast.

I started with Lapras instead of Ampharos because Thunderbolt is too powerful; if I used 2 of them, Lugia would faint. So, started with Lapras' Ice Beam, to take it's health a bit down before Thunderbolt. Then, I just started throwing Dusk Ball's, which have a 4x catch rate due the battle being in a cave.

With Lugia caught, next destination: Pokémon League! Enjoy it!
