Tips
- Win the battles on Nugget Bridge and the man at the end gives you a Nugget, then reveals himself as a Team Rocket Grunt and battles you.
- Abra is a fairly common find in the grass in both versions, making this a good place to catch one.
- Oddish is FireRed only and Bellsprout is LeafGreen only; Metapod is more common in LeafGreen and Kakuna in FireRed.
- TM45 Attract is lying on the ground, and a Pecha Berry is hidden on the northeast plateau.
- The trainers are low level, so the route works as a quick training stop.
