Tips

• Snorlax is a level 30 static encounter; wake it with the Poké Flute and catch it, because it is your only chance to get one on this route.
• The Super Rod is a gift from the fisherman at the Super Rod House, and fishing here brings up Horsea and Seadra.
• The gate building has TM39 Swift, and the route also has TM16 Pay Day and an Iron on the ground.
• Oddish and Bellsprout are very common in the grass, and Farfetch'd appears at a low rate.
• Many Fishermen line the road with Goldeen and Poliwag, so Electric or Grass attacks speed up the battles.
