Pokémon the Series

Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver

The Silver Wing appeared in several episodes in the Whirl Islands. In The Mystery is History, Luka rescued Silver from Cassidy and Butch, and explained that she was trying to discover information about a Silver Wing that she got from her great-grandfather, which she now keeps inside a locket. When Silver's parent appeared from the ocean, her Silver Wing began to glow a violent red. When it finally began to trust them and calmed down, the glowing stopped. When everyone went swimming with Silver and its parent, she realized the Silver Wing is a feather from Lugia, and became relieved to have finally unlocked its secret.

On Silver Rock Isle, there is a tale that a crew caught in a storm was rescued by a wild Lugia. From that day forward, the citizens on the island have glorified the Silver Wing, putting it on various trinkets, jewelry, souvenirs, etc.

Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire

Another Silver Wing appeared in Showdown At Linoone as one of the items Tokin had picked up.

As seen in The Escape, Green stole a Rainbow Wing and a Silver Wing from the Masked Man when she and Silver escaped from him, later hiding both feathers in Yellow's straw hat.

Yellow arc

The Silver and Rainbow Wings were seen on Yellow's straw hat. However, they simply appeared to be regular feathers, and their true nature was not revealed until the next arc.

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

The Rainbow Wing and Silver Wing were revealed to be on Yellow's hat. These artifacts were used to free Gold from the gap of time inside the Ilex Forest shrine where the Masked Man had trapped him in.

The Masked Man also used a Rainbow Wing and a Silver Wing directly collected from their respective Legendary Pokémon in order to create a GS Ball. Only a capture net created from these two feathers could contain Celebi and allow its holder to travel through time without suffering its negative side effects.

Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys

A Silver Wing first appeared in The Truth About The Mysterious Whirl Islands!!, under the possession of a talking Slowking living at the Whirl Islands. When Lugia saw Gold as a worthy challenger for it, it created a gust of wind that blew the Silver Wing away from Slowking and into Gold's hand.

In Let's Fight For The Future!!, when the destructive Black Tyranitar attempted to leap over sea from Cianwood to Olivine, Gold used the Silver Wing to call Lugia for help. Responding to Gold's plea, Lugia intercepted the Black Tyranitar as it was moving over the Whirl Islands, blasting it back to Cianwood.

Trivia

  • For unknown reasons, the Silver Wing's sprite was changed in Generation V, despite it not being used in that generation or any since.
  • Silver Wing's name was changed to Silver Feather in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, despite the item being unobtainable and never mentioned in these games.
