How to Get a Lugia Using Cheats in Pokemon Platinum

Since Lugia isn't available wild in "Pokemon Platinum," catching one without cheats is impossible. To get one without cheating, you either need to trade or to transfer one from a third generation title such as "Pokemon Emerald" or "LeafGreen." Since transferring isn't possible on the DSi or 3DS, getting Lugia is just that much harder for many players. If you don't have anyone to trade with, use an Action Replay device to catch the legendary Pokemon.
