Route 3
8 wild Pokémon across 1 encounter method. 4 trainer battles.
Route 3 Guide
Route 3 is the first mountain run east of Pewter, pushing you toward Mount Moon with a long trainer line.
Travel the route
This road links Pewter City and Mount Moon. It is the kind of route that feels like a proper expedition even though it is still close to town.
What matters here
What matters here is volume: trainers, grass, and the feeling that you are finally leaving the first Gym zone behind. It is also one of Kanto's cleanest examples of a route that exists to set up a dungeon entrance.
Come back later
Come back when you want the Pewter-to-Mount Moon line or a dependable early Kanto training stretch in postgame form.

Map Movement Tips
These clues come from the map tiles, so they are handy when you are planning which moves or paths matter here.
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.
Repel Planning
If your lead Pokémon is above a wild level, Repel skips it. These checkpoints show what disappears completely.
