Pokemon SoulSilver - Mt. Silver and Catching Moltres

I figured that I should head over to Mt. Silver and see what there was to see, as well as look for the final Legendary Bird, Moltres, near the top. I went through Route 22 to reach Victory Road once more. I went through the gate and continued west to Route 28 to start my way up Mt. Silver.

On Route 28 I found a Tangela (Grass, Female, Lv 39) and caught it after a good battle against Blake. Before I started going up Mt. Silver I found a secluded house, and when I went inside I found out I discovered the home of a minor celebrity. She thought I was the media at first, but then when I revealed I wasn't she then thought I was a fan. She gave me TM47 (Steel Wing) for keeping her home a secret, and nearby I found TM35 (Flamethrower) and then went to a Pokemon Center at the base of the mountain to heal Blake.

After Blake was healed, I started my way into Mt. Silver, and used Rock Climb to get up to the next level before I left for the side of the mountain. I found TM76 (Stealth Rock) and an Escape Rope going up the side, before I went back down and into the caverns again. I saw some nearby waterfalls and I worked my way up there, grabbing an Expert Belt in a cave on my way up the stone walls and waterfalls.

I found a large cave with a deep pit at the center with rocks I could climb up and down on either side, and at the bottom of this pit rested Moltres (Fire/Flying, Lv. 50). I got down there, saved my game after I switched to Samuel, and then I started the battle.

Samuel used Flame Wheel for great damage, then Moltres used Safeguard which stopped itself from getting status effects for five turns. I knew this may be a good thing for me, so that Samuel couldn't inflict burn at least. Samuel used Rock Smash for good damage, then Moltres used Flamethrower for good damage.

I decided to have Samuel use Close Combat for massive damage, and Moltres went to the red before it used Flamethrower to do great damage to Samuel. I started with Pokeballs, using a Dusk Ball with no effect. Samuel was hit with Ancient Power for massive damage, and he was knocked out. I switched to Blake, who was resistant to Fire- and Rock-Type attacks.

I switched to Claire after Safeguard went down, and Claire used Hypnosis after taking massive damage from Air Slash. With Moltres asleep, I tried using Dusk Balls again. A couple Dusk Balls did good, and Moltres just barely got out of one before it hit Claire with Ancient Power for great damage. Claire used Hypnosis again, and then I tried a couple more Dusk Balls.

I decided to give Claire some Moomoo Milk to heal up while Moltres slept, then tried another Dusk Ball. Moltres woke up after breaking out easily, and it did massive damage to Claire with Air Slash. Claire used Hypnosis again, constantly accurate with it, and I tried my last two Dusk Balls.

Both Dusk Balls failed, but this seemed to be the good strategy. I gave Claire another Moomoo Milk while Moltres was asleep, then it woke up to use Air Slash for massive damage again. Another accurate shot with Hypnosis, and Moltres was asleep again. Now I just had my Ultra Balls, but I had many to catch it with.

Soon enough Moltres woke and used Flamethrower to knock Claire out, and then I sent out Blake again. Blake got hit by Flamethrower after a failed Ultra Ball, and then he got burned. I used a Burn Heal to remove it, and then Moltres used Safeguard to protect itself from status effects. I used a Moomoo Milk to heal Blake, before Moltres used Air Slash for great damage.

Blake was eventually knocked out, and then I sent out Edward to hold the line while I kept at it with Ultra Balls. Edward took a critical hit from Ancient Power, but after another Ultra Ball I finally caught Moltres! Finally I had finished the Legendary Bird trio, and I decided that I would not continue up Mt. Silver quite yet. I wanted to train hard, and take on the Elite Four once more to ensure my championship of the Indigo League!
