Phase 11 Resources And Checklist

Catcher Setup

Status user: Thunder WaveElectric (paralysis) or a Sleep move — your safety net for every legendary (no False SwipeNormal in Gen 2).

Weak chip attacker: A high-HP body with a low-power move to whittle without KOing.

Ball stock: 20–30 Ultra Balls for fixed legends, the Master Ball for whatever you fear most, Heavy Balls for Lugia, and Fast Balls for the roamers.

Heavy Ball: Especially good on Lugia (Kurt makes them from Heavy Apricorns).

Must-Grab Items

Item	Location	Why
Silver Wing	Pewter (already grabbed Phase 10)	Opens Lugia.
Rainbow Wing	Eusine, Celadon (after 3 beasts)	Opens Ho-Oh.
Sacred Ash	Held by Ho-Oh	Full party heal — save for Red.
GS Ball (platform-dependent)	Goldenrod PC (VC)	Celebi event.
Apricorn balls	Kurt, Azalea	Fast/Heavy Balls for roamers + Lugia.

Time / Day Window

No strict time gates, but the roaming beasts only appear on routes you enter, so chase them with the Pokégear map. Kurt makes Apricorn balls overnight — stock Fast/Heavy Balls a day ahead of your Lugia/beast hunts.

Legendary Note

This phase is the legendary note: Lugia (Silver Wing), the roaming Raikou/Entei, and Ho-Oh (Rainbow Wing after all three beasts) are the main obtainable legends; Celebi is platform-gated through the GS Ball event. Keep the Legendary Reference open as your checklist.

HM Update

No new HMs. You'll rely on SurfWater + WhirlpoolWater + FlashNormal for the Whirl Islands (Lugia) and FlyFlying for fast travel between the beast routes, Celadon, and the Tin Tower. All seven HMs stay slotted across your travel team.

Phase 11 Checklist

Caught Lugia at the Whirl Islands (Silver Wing + SurfWater/WhirlpoolWater/FlashNormal).
Cleaned up roaming Raikou and Entei.
With all three beasts caught, got the Rainbow Wing from Eusine and caught Ho-Oh.
(Platform permitting) Ran the Celebi GS Ball event.
(Optional) Took a run at the Battle Tower.
