Location guide

Route 37 Guide

Route 37 is the short orchard-like stretch between Ecruteak and the route network that fans out to the west.

Travel the route

Route 37 is a small orchard road with a big sense of arrival. The apricorn trees and trainers sit just south of Ecruteak City, turning the last steps out of Route 36 into the first glimpse of Johto's old-story city.

What to find

Battle Psychic Greg and the Twins Ann and Anne, search for the hidden Ether, and pick Red Apricorn, Blu Apricorn, and Blk Apricorn. The grass can bring Stantler, Growlithe, Pidgey, Pidgeotto, Spinarak, Hoothoot, and more depending on time, while Sunny's Magnet gives Sunday visits a special reward.

Return with a reason

Return for apricorns, Sunday's sibling gift, Headbutt trees, and the soft little bridge between Ecruteak and the Goldenrod-side routes.

Roaming Pokémon

The legendary beasts can pass through this route after the Burned Tower basement event.

Possible roamers

Raikou, Entei can move through this route once they are released.

Check your Pokégear map, then hunt on land when one is nearby.

Route changes

A roaming beast can move to a nearby route when you change areas, and it can also jump somewhere else.

If it is not here anymore, step between nearby routes and check again.

Nearby jumps

From here, a beast usually moves toward Route 36, Route 38, Route 42.

Use nearby routes to keep chasing without flying away.

Land only

The beasts stay out of Surf encounters, so they do not pop up while you are surfing.

Hunt in grass or on land instead of riding across water.

Ways To Move Around

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

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.
