Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Seafoam Islands

'The way through the Seafoam Island caves is full of twists and turns, and you'll have to puzzle your way through to reach the south side of the island. This complex labyrinth of caves hides one of the most powerful allies you can find: the Legendary Pokemon Articuno!'

You can't get through Seafoam Island unless you have a Pokémon that knows. After you enter the cave, go east and push the boulder into the hole to the north. Now go to the steps north of the entrance and go up. Grab the Ice Heal. Within this cave you'll get your first chance to find a, and more rarely, its evolution.

More importantly, the legendary Pokémon resides in the depths of these caves. The two boulders on the first floor block the current on the third basement level, which makes it easier to get around, but is not necessary for catching Articuno. It's the two in the third basement that are important: knock the other boulders out of the way so you can get to the ones in line with the holes (if you mess up, leave this floor and they'll reset), then jump in after them, swim to the island in the northwest, and you'll find Articuno.

Save your game before you face it. You should bring a lot of Ultra Balls, and remember to use techniques that inflict paralysis or sleep to make the capture more certain.
