Route 14 on the Kanto Pokégear map

Route 14 is a coastal road in southeastern Kanto that links Route 13 to the north with Route 15 to the south. A tree line hides a western grass path that needs Cut, and there a woman who loves Chansey hands out a Lucky Punch. Suicune also makes one of its brief appearances on this road, with Eusine close behind.
