The Whirl Islands (Japanese: うずまきじま Whirlpool Islands) are a small archipelago located between the mainland of Johto and Cianwood City, on Route 41. Beneath the sea, a maze of dark caves sprawl, with explorers able to travel between the four islands with some amount of difficulty. Deep within these caves, Lugia can be found.
Named after the dangerous whirlpools that surround them, some parts of the Whirl Islands are mysterious and largely inaccessible. Children in Olivine City are told that bad kids are sent to the islands. In the anime, rumors circulate that families of Lugia reside there.

In the anime
The depiction of the islands is far different in the anime. Far from being deserted, it contains many towns and other inhabitable areas. The Whirl Islands are home to the Whirl Cup, a competition for Water Pokémon Trainers held once every three years.
There are four main islands, with many smaller ones scattered throughout. Together, the islands in the archipelago form a spiral shape.
The islands, from north to south:
According to the Nurse Joy on Blue Point Isle, the climate varies from island to island.
Trivia
- In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum Versions, a guest at Hotel Grand Lake by Lake Valor mentions a silver-colored Pokémon at Whirl Islands.
