Get everything you need. You must have already received the Silver Bell from the Kimono Girls in Ecruteak City. You also need the Silver Wing, and a Pokémon that knows Surf, Whirlpool, Waterfall, Rock Smash (optional), and Strength.- Whirlpool islands are unlit, so having Flash as well is worthwhile.
- Having Pokémon with status affecting moves (i.e. Sleep, Paralysis, Frozen) is also very helpful.
- Bring plenty of Ultra Balls.
- Make sure your Pokémon are level 40 or greater.
- Bring plenty of Repels to avoid fighting pokemon along the way.
- A strong Electric or Ice-type Pokémon also helps.
Go to Cianwood City. It is located on the far eastern edge of Johto.Advertisement
Go to the Pokémon Center and head North. Follow the shoreline until you reach the corner where the rock wall starts.
Use Surf to get to the Whirl Islands. Go North until you reach a wall or rocks and go East. Go past the first swimmer and continue East until you reach another wall or rocks. Go South until you see the Whirlpool.- 5Use Whirlpool to get past the whirlpool. The Islands are just past the whirlpool.
- 6Use Surf to get to the cave entrance. You'll need to go around behind the cave and use Surf to get to the cave entrance to the North.
Navigate your way through the cave. Use the following steps to get through the cave:- Use Flash to light your way.
- Go up and then to the right.
- Continue right until you hit a wall.
- Go up and go down the ladder.
- Go down and stay on the path until you see another ladder to the right.
- Go down the ladder and go down and take the path on the right.
- Continue down until you reach the old man.
Use Silver Wing to get past the old man. He will let you through if you have the Silver Wing.
Go down and into the cave with a massive waterfall within. There's some rare candy inside the cave.
Enter the cave at the bottom of the sloping path. The Kimono girls will be inside. They will talk to you before performing a dance to summon Lugia.- The battle will take place inside. You may want to save your game now.
Use Surf to get to Lugia. Lugia is out in the middle of the pond. [1]
Catch Lugia. Use status effects like Freeze and Sleep to increase the chance of catching Lugia. Paralysis also helps, but doesn't have as much of a chance-boosting effect. Use as many Dusk Balls, and Ultra Balls as you can find. If those are unavailable, focus on using Dive Balls, and Net Balls.[2]- Keep lots of potions and some PP Up, if you can.
- Have an Escape Rope ready so you can leave without going through the labyrinth again, and heal your party before going in.

- QuestionWhat do I do if the Kimono girls weren't there? Do I have to do this at a certain point in the story?
Community AnswerThey appear there after you have beaten all 8 gym leaders. Go see Prof. Elm, he will tell you the kimono girls need to see you. You must defeat all 5 in the Dance Theater (they have the first 5 EEVEE evolutions). Once you defeat them they will give you the silver bell and tell you to go to the whirlpool islands. Then they will be there and Lugia will appear. - QuestionHow do I get Ho-oh?
Community AnswerGet rainbow wing, and go to the bell tower. - QuestionHow do I get Ho-Oh in Heartgold without cheating?Community AnswerIt's basically the same as getting Lugia in Soul Silver, but with a couple differences: Ho-oh is in Bell Tower instead of Whirl Islands, and you'll need clear bell and rainbow wing instead of silver bell and silver wing, respectively.
