Pokémon world locations

Victory Road (Japanese: チャンピオンロード Champion Road) is a tunnel situated on Route 23. It earned its name because it must be traveled by all trainers aiming for the top. Its other end opens up in Indigo Plateau and the Pokémon League. Only trainers with eight Kanto or Johto Gym Badges are allowed to enter it.

Victory Road has three floors. To reach the other end of the tunnel, a series of puzzles involving using Strength to move boulders need to be solved.

In Generation I, Victory Road is where the Legendary Pokémon, Moltres can be found. In Generation III, it's moved to Knot Island's Mt. Ember.

A move tutor at the very end of Victory Road offers to teach a Pokémon the move Double-Edge.
