Tips

  • Drowzee is the most common Pokémon in the grass, and its evolution Hypno also appears here at level 16.
  • Magnemite can be caught here at level 15 at any time of day.
  • The Berry tree on this route grows a fresh Berry every day, so check it whenever you pass through.
  • A Revive is hidden on the route; an Itemfinder will point you to it.
  • Psychic Herman uses two level 30 Exeggcute and a level 30 Exeggutor, so a Bug, Fire or Flying-type attacker makes short work of him.
