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

This route links Route 24 and Bills House across one of Kanto's clearest one-way-feeling excursions. Once you start down the cape, the destination is obvious.

What matters here

The route matters because it makes the Bill stop, the cape trainers, and the Cerulean branch feel like a full mini-run instead of a tiny side spur. It is one of the better examples of Kanto using a dead-end well.

Come back later

Return when you want Bill's cape route, another northeastern trainer sweep, or a clean Cerulean side trip with a real endpoint.

Map Movement Tips

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

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.

Repel Planning

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