Pokémon world routes

Diglett's Cave (Japanese: ディグダのあな Digda's Hole) is a long tunnel dug by wild Diglett and Dugtrio in Kanto. The northern entrance is on Route 2 south of Pewter City and the southern is on Route 11 near the eastern edge of Vermilion City. The passage is famous for connecting these two routes. Regardless of what Generation a trainer encounters Diglett's Cave in, the trainer must pass through the cave at one point or another to either continue the storyline or to access the western Kanto cities of Pewter and Viridian, as well as Pallet Town.

Route description

As a whole, the cave runs from the northwest to the southeast, passing under Celadon City, Route 7, and Route 6 as it progresses toward Vermilion from Pewter. There are no points of interest along the cave; however, the cave is the only location where wild Diglett and Dugtrio are found in Kanto. It was also the only location where wild Diglett and Dugtrio were found in every Generation until Generation IV, where Diglett and Dugtrio could be found on Sinnoh's Route 228.

The usefulness of the cave as a connector route between Routes 2 and 11 has allowed Diglett's Cave to become one of the most important non-numbered routes in the Pokémon world. In fact, after the main character enters Cerulean City, the only way to return to Pewter City and Viridian City without using Surf or Fly is to travel through Diglett's Cave.
