QuestionWhy should I not use the master ball on Lugia?
Community AnswerMainly because there are other legendaries (Raikou, Entei and Suicune) who are more of a pain to catch. This is because in Silver, these three are roaming legendaries, so you have no warning of their approach and hence can't save prior to battling them. They're also prone to fleeing. Given that, you can save yourself some of the hassle by holding on to your master ball to use on one of these guys. -
QuestionIf Lugia faints, will there bea second battle?
Community AnswerNo - make sure you save your game before fighting so you can reset and battle him again. -
QuestionI have beat the last gym and got the master ball, but I can't find any of the dogs. What do I do?Community AnswerYou have to go to the tower and watch them flee before they are even visible in the grass. If you have done that, then keep searching around, and don't fly.
Warnings
- For new players: Don't think it's a random flying bird Pokémon in the middle of the cave. You will find out it is a Lugia, get scared, and use your Master Ball.⧼thumbs_response⧽
- Always save the game before battling.⧼thumbs_response⧽
