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.
