Union Cave 1F
7 wild Pokémon across 2 encounter methods. 5 trainer battles.
Union Cave 1F Guide
Union Cave is the first real Johto cave trip, sitting between Violet's south road and Azalea's story arc.
Getting in
Enter from Route 32 when you are ready to leave the first Gym zone behind. The cave is long enough to feel serious without turning into a late-game maze.
Main reason to visit
Its main job is carrying you toward Route 33 and Azalea Town, but it also plants the idea that some Johto caves hide deeper return content later on.
Why return
Come back when you want deeper floors, later cave rewards, or another clean land route between Violet and Azalea.

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.
