Tohjo Falls Gold & Silver · Johto landmark
Tohjo Falls is a small waterfall cave on Route 27, marking the border between Johto and Kanto. It links the eastern and western halves of Route 27, so you pass through it on the way from New Bark Town to the Victory Road gate after earning all eight Johto badges. Surf and Waterfall are both needed to get through.

Tips
- You need Waterfall (HM07, found on Ice Path 1F) and the Rising Badge to climb the falls, plus Surf to cross the water.
- A Moon Stone sits in an item ball on a small patch of land at the western end of the cave; Surf over to reach it.
- Slowpoke is common here, both in the cave (Lv 21–23, up to 15% at any time) and while surfing (Lv 20, 30%).
- Golbat (Lv 22) and Raticate (Lv 22) round out the cave encounters, so bring Repels if you just want to get through.
- Surfing can also turn up Goldeen (60%) and Seaking (10%) at Lv 20.
