Underground Path Pokémon Yellow · Dungeon
The Underground Path is a pair of tunnels in Kanto: one joins Route 5 and Route 6 between Cerulean City and Vermilion City, and the other joins Route 7 and Route 8 between Celadon City and Lavender Town. There are no wild Pokémon or trainers inside, only hidden items. A Cubone trade also awaits in the Route 5 entrance building.

Tips
- Use the tunnels as a fast, encounter-free way between cities.
- Search the North-South tunnel for a hidden Full Restore and X Special, and the West-East tunnel for a hidden Nugget and Elixer.
- On Route 5 you can trade a Cubone for a Machoke named Ricky; Machoke evolves further when traded again.
- Since nothing attacks you here, it is a safe way to travel with a weakened team.
