Location guide

Route 18 Guide

Route 18 is the southern end of Cycling Road, feeding the last gate into Fuchsia.

Travel the route

Use Route 18 as the landing strip after Route 17. It is short, but it matters because it turns the long bike descent back into normal southern Kanto travel.

What matters here

Its value is transition. The route resets the pace, points you into Fuchsia City, and keeps the west-side bike corridor from ending abruptly.

Come back later

Return when you want the fastest finish to Cycling Road or a tidy link between Fuchsia and Celadon's western side.

Map Movement Tips

These clues come from the map tiles, so they are handy when you are planning which moves or paths matter here.

Surf opens water paths here

Water tiles can become paths once you can Surf.

Bring a Surf user after earning Fog Badge if you want every shoreline path.

Repel Planning

If your lead Pokémon is above a wild level, Repel skips it. These checkpoints show what disappears completely.
