Pokémon G/S Walkthrough - Chapter 11

Back to New Bark Town

Receive the Master Ball

When you get back to New Bark Town, talk to Prof. Elm. He will give you the Master Ball.

Catching Ho-oh (Gold Version)

Ho-oh is relatively easy to find compared to Lugia. Go back to Ecruteak City and go inside the northern house. Take all the stairs and eventually you see a Tower. Go inside and go to the top. There you will find Ho-oh. It might be wise to save your game before fighting Ho-oh, because, like Mewtwo, there is only one. Using your Masterball isn't recommended. Ho-oh is only level 40.

 

The following map shows the way to Ho-oh

Catching Lugia (Silver Version)

You need a Pokemon with Surf, one with Whirlpool, and one with Flash to get Lugia.
Go to Olivine City and surf south trying to stay as far to the right as you can. There are 4 entrances to the cave where Lugia is, so if you follow the wall, the first enterance you come to is the one you should enter.

Once you are inside, go to the right and choose the top path when it comes to a fork. Now you will make your way to the waterfall, go down it, then surf up and you should find Lugia swimming in the water.
Lugia, like Ho-oh, is only level 40, so using the Masterball isn't recommended.

Pokémon League

Now head back to New Bark Town and get ready to advance to the Pokémon League.
But first make sure you have a Pokémon with Surf and Waterfall. And heal all your Pokémon in Elm's Lab.
Next it's time to surf east from New Bark Town to Route 27.
