| As with every Pokémon game, there are lots of legendary Pokémon to be captured. |
Lugia is the Diving Pokémon and the star Pokémon of Pokémon Soul Silver. As such, the way you discover it in Soul Silver is through obtaining the Silver Feather after beating Team Rocket. With this, when you go to Whirl Islands and get to the bottom, you will encounter Lugia at Level 45.
If you are playing Heart Gold, Lugia is also obtainable at the Whirl Islands, but you need to obtain the Silver Feather from a person in Pewter City. Once you have it, you can go to the bottom of Whirl Islands and Lugia will be there, this time at Level 70.

However, before you can get it, you must chase it around. At some points in the game, you will meet Eusine and he will follow you as he is also tracking Suicune. Suicune, like Entei & Raikou is released into Johto when you access the basement of the Brass Tower.
Suicune is seen in the following places and you must follow it if you wish to capture it. First, it will be found in the north of Cianwood City. After you encounter it there, you will shortly find it outside the entrance of Mt. Mortar in Route 42. Once you find it here, it will leave Johto and head to Kanto where you will see it in Vermillion City soon after you arrive. Next you will see it in Route 14 where it will escape for the final time to be found outside Bill's House in Route 25. This is where you battle Suicune.
