Diglett's Cave is a single-floor tunnel that links Route 2 near Viridian City to Route 11 near Vermilion City. It has no trainers or items, only wild Diglett and the occasional Dugtrio, so most players use it as a shortcut.

Tips

  • Diglett is the main encounter and appears constantly, and Dugtrio has a rare chance of showing up at a much higher level.
  • Both versions have the same wild Pokémon here.
  • Because the tunnel has no trainers or items, you can run straight through it, and Repel helps if you do not want to fight.
  • The south entrance is on Route 11 and the north entrance on Route 2.
