11Overview22Lugia is a legendary Psychic/Flying-type Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia, registered as Pokedex #297. Known as the Diving Pokemon, Lugia periodically flies overhead during overcast or rainy weather and drops Silver Feathers that players can collect. Lugia can be registered in the Pokedex by crafting the Tidal Bell and using it to summon Lugia after befriending all three legendary birds (Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres).44Even after registration, Lugia cannot be brought into a habitat or housed in a building. It remains a flyby legendary that passes overhead and continues to drop Silver Feathers.66Pokedex Entry88AttributeDetailsPokedex Number#297TypePsychic / FlyingClassificationDiving PokemonHeight17'01" (5.2 m)Weight476.2 lbs (216.0 kg)SpecialtyUnconfirmedHabitatN/A (cannot be housed)1010Appearances and Silver Feathers1212Lugia flies overhead during overcast or rainy weather. It can appear above any of the five islands. When Lugia arrives, it emits two loud cries audible across the entire zone, then drops a Silver Feather as it passes. Like Ho-Oh, Lugia appearances are uncommon.1414Visual Indicator1616When a Silver Feather lands, it creates a massive tornado or wind column on the ground with silver sparkles. This swirling vortex is visible from a distance and marks exactly where the feather has fallen. The wind column prevents the feather from being picked up directly.1818How to Collect2020Watch for the tornado column on the ground after hearing Lugia's cries.Run to the column before it dissipates. There is a limited collection window.Use Cut on the wind column to slice through the turbulence and disperse the tornado.Pick up the Silver Feather from the cleared spot.2222If you do not reach the feather in time or fail to use Cut, the Silver Feather blows away and is lost. Always keep a Pokemon with Cut available while exploring during rainy or overcast weather.2424Tidal Bell and Summoning2626The Tidal Bell is a special craftable item that allows you to summon Lugia and register it in your Pokedex. The recipe is unlocked by befriending all three legendary birds: Articuno (#294), Zapdos (#295), and Moltres (#296).2828Crafting the Tidal Bell3030MaterialQuantityHow to ObtainRare Pokemetal5Occasionally drops when breaking Pokemetal Fragment blocks on Dream Islands and in Sparkling Skylands.

Each bird requires constructing a specific Building Kit found in Palette Town:3535Legendary BirdBuilding KitKey MaterialsArticuno (#294)Freezing Chambers50 Stone, 50 Ice, 10 Crystal Fragment, 10 PokemetalZapdos (#295)Abandoned Power Plant50 Copper Ingot, 50 Iron Ingot, 50 Sea Glass Fragment, 50 Brick, 10 PokemetalMoltres (#296)Altar of the Flame50 Copper Ingot, 50 Gold Ingot, 50 Lava Rock, 10 Pokemetal3838Each legendary bird kit is found as a collectible item on a specific island in Palette Town, not purchased from the PC Shop. All three kits require 15 Pokemon workers. See the Building Kits Guide for full details on construction.3939Summoning Lugia4141Craft the Tidal Bell at a Workbench after unlocking the recipe.Place the Tidal Bell in an open area.Wait for Lugia to fly overhead during overcast or rainy weather.Ring the bell while Lugia is visible to trigger a special cutscene.Lugia descends and is registered in your Pokedex as entry #297.4343After registration, Lugia cannot be brought into a habitat or assigned tasks. It continues to fly overhead during overcast and rainy weather and drop Silver Feathers, which can still be collected and traded.4545Trading Silver Feathers4747Silver Feathers can be traded to Gimmighoul at the Museum in Rocky Ridges. Gimmighoul's first interaction specifically requests a Rainbow Feather from Ho-Oh. After that initial trade, both Silver Feathers and Rainbow Feathers are accepted.4949Each trade exchanges one feather for a random piece from the Pop Art furniture collection:5151Pop Art TablePop Art SofaPop Art ChairPop Art BedPop Art Lamp5353Since rewards are random, you may receive duplicates before completing the full set. Keep collecting feathers and trading until you have all five pieces.5555Increasing Lugia Appearances5757Lugia appearances are uncommon by default. Two methods can increase the frequency of sightings:5959MethodDetailsFeed MosslaxKeeping Mosslax's Dry buff active at Bleak Beach increases the chance of legendary flyby events. Feed Mosslax foods it prefers to maintain the buff.Weather manipulationUse a Rain Dance Site to force rainy conditions in the area where you are farming. This ensures the right weather for Lugia to appear.6161Daily Challenge6262The "Gather Mysterious Feathers" Daily Challenge requires collecting both a Silver Feather (from Lugia) and a Rainbow Feather (from Ho-Oh) in the same day. Completing this challenge rewards 200 Life Coins. This is one of the harder daily challenges because it requires both rainy and sunny weather in a single day, along with favorable legendary spawn timing.6464To attempt this challenge, start with whichever weather condition is naturally occurring, collect that feather, then use Humidity manipulation (Rain Dance Sites or Sunny Day Sites) to shift the weather for the second feather.6666Connection to Ho-Oh6868Lugia and Ho-Oh form a parallel pair in Pokopia. Both are flyby legendaries that cannot live in habitats, both drop collectible feathers, and both require crafting a special bell after befriending a trio of legendaries. The key differences are:7070AttributeLugiaHo-OhPokedex ##297#298TypePsychic / FlyingFire / FlyingWeatherOvercast / RainySunny / ClearFeatherSilver FeatherRainbow FeatherGround indicatorTornado columnSmoke and flame columnCollection moveCutWater GunBell itemTidal BellClear BellPrerequisites3 legendary birds (Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres)3 legendary beasts (Raikou, Entei, Suicune)7272Tips7373Always carry a Pokemon with Cut when exploring during rainy or overcast weather. Missing a Silver Feather because you lacked Cut is frustrating since Lugia appearances are infrequent.The tornado column is visible from a considerable distance and has silver sparkles. Scan the horizon frequently while exploring in rain.Start collecting Silver Feathers early, even before you have the Tidal Bell recipe. You need 5 feathers for the bell, and Lugia appearances are uncommon.The legendary bird kits are the most expensive building projects in the game. Start stockpiling materials (especially Pokemetal, Gold Ingot, and Lava Rock) in Rocky Ridges and Sparkling Skylands well in advance.Rare Pokemetal is the harder material to stockpile for the Tidal Bell. Farm Pokemetal Fragment blocks on Dream Islands (use a Dragonite Doll for Sky Dream Islands) and hope for rare drops.Remember that Gimmighoul's first trade requires a Rainbow Feather from Ho-Oh, not a Silver Feather. You must trade a Rainbow Feather first before Silver Feathers are accepted.Building all three legendary bird facilities also makes the birds permanent island residents. Zapdos's Fly specialty is especially useful for fast travel.
