Everything we know about Lugia Lugia made its first appearance in Pokémon Gold and Silver. Alongside Ho-oh, Lugia is one of the first legendary Pokémon to be used as a mascot for a mainline Pokémon game, featuring on the box art for Pokémon Silver. Unlike other legendary mascot Pokémon, it's possible to catch both Lugia and Ho-oh in Pokémon Gold and Silver. Lugia can be found deep below the Whirl Islands, though you need a Silver Wing to find it. As a member of the Tower duo, it's partner being Ho-oh, Lugia is represents the guardian of the seas. It's also known as being the trio master of the legendary birds. Lugia appears to be inspired by Ryūjin - a dragon from the Shinto religion, which was god of the sea. Ryūjin was said to live in Ryūgū-jō, which was an underwater palace built out of coral. Here Ryūjin would control the tides and currents of the sea, which is similar to Lugia's ability to control the weather. Its design also resembles a dragon, which, considering it's counterpart Ho-oh resembles a phoenix, draws connotations to duality of yin and yang duality in Eastern mythology. Lugia is the water dragon, connected to yang, while Ho-oh is the firebird, linked to yin.
