Location guide

Route 25 Guide

Route 25 is the cape road east of Cerulean, ending at Bill's place and turning the northeast edge of Kanto into a real destination.

Travel the route

Route 25 is Cerulean's cape road, the kind of side trip that feels better because it has a clear end. Bill's House waits beyond the trainers, and the route gives northeast Kanto its own little expedition.

What to find

Battle Schoolboys Dudley and Joe, Lasses Ellen, Laura, and Shannon, Camper Lloyd, Super Nerd Pat, and Cooltrainer Kevin. Pick Protein, claim the Nugget when the quest allows it, and search for the hidden Potion. The grass and water can add Pidgey, Bellsprout, Venonat, Abra, Pidgeotto, Weepinbell, Oddish, Venomoth, Goldeen, and Seaking.

Return with a reason

Return for Bill's cape, the trainer sweep, the Power Plant quest beat with Misty, or a northeast Kanto side road that feels like a complete little outing.

Ways To Move Around

Some parts of this map need a move, or only work one way.

Cut can open a blocker here

Some small trees or grass blockers can be cleared with Cut.

Bring a Pokémon that knows Cut after earning Hive Badge.

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.

One-way ledges shape the route

These ledges let you jump down but not climb back up from the same spot.

Look before you hop if you are collecting items or avoiding trainers.
