Cherrygrove City
2 wild Pokémon across 1 encounter method.
Cherrygrove City Guide
Cherrygrove City is the first real Johto stop, with healing, shopping, the map tour, and the fork north toward [Route 30]({location:route-30}).
Get your bearings
Use Cherrygrove as your first pause after Route 29. The city is small, but it gives you a mart, a Pokecenter, and the Guide Gent's tour without asking for a long detour.
Main jobs here
Your main jobs are stocking up, taking the tour, and pushing north through Route 30 toward Mr Pokemons House. Once the early errands are done, it stays a dependable midpoint between home and Violet City.
Good revisits
Come back when you want quick healing before the northern routes or a simple checkpoint while you are still learning western Johto.
