You can find Articuno on Pokemon Let’s Go Seafoam Islands, but it’s also tricky to navigate thanks to a stone puzzle. Here’s how to solve the stone puzzle.
Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee are out now, and as expected they’re filled with dozens of Pokemon to catch. However, there are also puzzles to solve, and some will actually stop you from progressing any further through the game. One especially tough example is the Pokemon Let’s Go Seafoam Islands stone puzzle.
The Seafoam Islands can be a labyrinth, a maze of stones in an underground cave. It can be really frustrating to navigate, and that’s just getting through it. We haven’t even mentioned catching the Legendary Bird Articuno, who’s also there. We’ll show you how to get through the Pokemon Let’s Go Seafoam Islands maze, solve the stone puzzle, and catch Articuno.
First we have to get to Seafoam Islands in the first place. To start off, you’ll need to acquire the Sea Skim technique in Fuchsia City, near to the Pokemon Go Park. There should be a trainer there, with a Lapras sitting next to him, and you can speak with this trainer to get Sea Skim. This is a secret technique that allows your Pokemon to surf across the waves.
While you’re there, if you haven’t got it already you’ll also need the Strong Push technique in order to solve the stone puzzle. Head to the south of Fuchsia City and look for Team Rocket, who are doing some digging. They find some gold teeth, which they give to you. Go to the Pokemon Center, head down to the Warden, and give the teeth to him. He’ll give you Strong Push in return.
Using Sea Skim, you can head to Seafoam Islands from the south of Fuchsia City. Head south from the Poke Mart and then use Sea Skim to go out on to the ocean, ignoring everything until you reach Seafoam. Alternatively, you can also reach Seafoam Islands from the eastern part of Cinnabar Island, if you’re over that way. Just swim east of the island until you hit Seafoam. Now you can start exploring the labyrinth.
The idea behind the Seafoam Islands stone puzzle is that you need to use your Strong Push technique to move giant stones out of the way and into holes, where they fall to a lower level.
