Violet City
2 wild Pokémon across 1 encounter method.
Violet City Guide
Violet City is Johto's first badge town, with the academy, the Gym, and [Sprout Tower 1F]({location:sprout-tower-1f}) all within a short walk.
Get your bearings
Violet is the first place where Johto starts layering side goals together. The Pokecenter, Mart, Gym, and Earls Pokemon Academy sit close by, while Route 31 and Route 32 keep the next leg moving.
Main jobs here
Most players stop here for the Zephyr Badge, a Sprout Tower climb, and a quick read of the academy tips before heading south. It is also the clean hub for Dark Cave Violet Entrance and the stretch toward Union Cave 1F.
Good revisits
Return when you need the first badge, early shopping, academy reminders, or a steady rest stop on the way between the northern starter routes and central Johto.

Location Rules
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.
