Tips

  • Ditto can appear in the tall grass here at a low rate in both versions, so Route 14 is a better place to hunt it.
  • Oddish and Gloom are FireRed-only, and Bellsprout and Weepinbell are LeafGreen-only.
  • Pidgeotto turns up in the grass at a low rate in both versions, so you can catch one without evolving a Pidgey.
  • There are plenty of trainers, so bring healing items and a few Potions or Super Potions.
  • A hidden PP Up can be found on the route, so use the Itemfinder.
