|Lapras|
|------|

We already have five of the nine special Pokémon of the game (two of five
legendaries): Sudowoodo, Snorlax, Gyarados (Shiny Red), Lugia, and Ho-oh. What
now? Thard_Verad comments, "Lapras only appears on Friday." If it's a Friday,
head to Violet City and then go south through Route 32 into Union Cave. Level 20
Lapras becomes available on a Friday once you've gotten HM Surf.

In Union Cave, use a Max Repel to reduce the number of wild encounters as you
navigate towards Lapras. Head along the path and past the first two trainers.
Head almost all the way through till you see the guy on the cliff still spinning
around, which is the third trainer that you spot. Down and to the left is a
lake. Surf past it and head down the ladder, then fight the guy next to the
lake. He should be very easy to beat.

PoKeManiac Andrew
Level 24 Marowak (637 EXP)
Level 24 Marowak (637 EXP)
You get: 1440G

With Andrew defeated, surf east and you'll fight another trainer.

PoKeManiac Calvin
Level 26 Kangaskhan (975 EXP)
You get: 1560G

After you beat him, he exclaims, "You demonstrated on me!" Head down the ladder,
then surf southward. Land on the right side to grab a Hyper Potion and fight a
trainer.

Cooltrainer Nick
Level 26 Charmander (? EXP)
Level 26 Bulbasaur (355 EXP)
Level 26 Squirtle (? EXP)
You get: 1248G

Then land on the left side. Head up to fight another spinning trainer.

Cooltrainer Gwen
Level 26 Eevee (511 EXP)
Level 22 Vaporeon (924 EXP)
Level 22 Jolteon (928 EXP)
Level 22 Flareon (933 EXP)
You get: 1056G

Head down the path a long way and you'll fight one more trainer.

Cooltrainer Emma
Level 28 Poliwhirl (786 EXP)
You get: 1344G

Then surf east from Emma and you'll encounter a Level 20 Lapras. Lapras isn't a
legendary. But treat it like it is one when you're trying to catch it by saving
before you interact with Lapras. If you knock it out on a critical hit, lose all
your Pokémon and black out, or run out of balls to throw at it, you would want
to return to your save and retry. Ultimately, you'll want to maximize your
chances by throwing many Ultra Balls at it. You'll want to do so when it is
lower on HP (yellow or red on the HP meter), and ideally when it is asleep or
paralyzed by a move like Stun Spore. You can then use Escape Rope to leave Union
Cave.
