Vermilion City

Roadblock

The wild Snorlax is still sleeping on the east side of Vermilion City, blocking travel to and from Route 11. It also happens to be blocking the western entrance to Diglett's Cave. To wake it up, tune the Pokégear's radio to the upper-middle part of the grid, then examine the creature to place the device next to it. The Poké Flute music rouses the Pokémon from its nap, and it attacks in a grumpy rage!

Diglett's Cave

Diglett's Cave is a long tunnel that spans nearly the whole region, linking Vermilion City to the east side of Route 2. Like the name implies, the only native Pokémon that can be found here are Diglett and its evolved form, Dugtrio. With the Fuchsia City beach blocked off, it is currently the only way to reach western Kanto.

From the southern entrance, follow the trail to the northwest to reach a Leaf Stone near a lone tree. Jump the ledge and return to the entrance, and this time head eastward. Pass by Bug Catcher Dane to reach TM77 (Psych Up) on a patch of dirt nearby. Turn north and battle Bug Catcher Dion on the east side of the forest. Continue northward through the tall grass, or along the path to battle Bug Catcher Stacey. To the northwest, a Blue Flute can be found on a large dirt patch. Farther north, the path diverges; taking the eastern stairway leads to the forest's northeast corner, where Bug Catcher Ellis can be found running laps. Turn west and zigzag through the trees to find a Dire Hit on the northernmost dirt patch. Explore the dead-end path to the southwest to get a Full Restore, then continue northwestward. Pass by Bug Catcher Abner to reach the northern edge of the forest. Leave the gate to re-emerge on Route 2 and continue north to Pewter City.

Pewter City

Pewter City

Time for a Trade

Visit the Pokémon Center to find a man who would like to trade Pokémon. He is willing to part with his Xatu in exchange for a Haunter. Haunter can be found on Route 8, while its previous form, Gastly, can be found in Johto's Sprout Tower and Bell Tower.

Pewter Museum of Science

The Pewter Museum of Science is located on the north side of the city. It hosts a range of artifacts and exhibits, with a focus on fossils and other specimens from the Kanto region. The receptionist informs visitors that because the larger specimens have been loaned to other museums, admission is free of charge.

One of the workers, a Super Nerd, can be found near the entrance. He mentions how several meteorites had once struck somewhere near Pewter City. The museum would be thrilled to have them on display here, but the meteorites are said to emit strange energy and cannot be carried away.

Fossil Regeneration

In the smaller side room, another Super Nerd runs the fossil regeneration procedure. Speak to him to hand over one of the seven known types of fossil to be revived. The procedure takes a moment to complete, so leave the building and return a short time later to receive the ancient Pokémon.

Pewter Gym

Pewter Gym

Pewter City Pokémon Gym Leader: Brock The Rock Solid Pokémon Trainer

The Pewter Gym specializes in Rock-type Pokémon. Rock-type moves are super effective against Bug-, Fire-, Flying-, and Ice-type Pokémon, while Rock-type Pokémon are weak to Fighting-, Grass-, Ground-, Steel-, and Water-type moves.

The Gym features a rock garden, and has only two optional Gym Trainer battles before reaching the Gym Leader.

Because of their dual typings, each of Brock's five Pokémon take massive damage from Grass-type attacks. Aside from that, Water moves are effective against his Graveler, Rhyhorn, and Onix. Brock likes to dig for fossils in Mt. Moon in his spare time, and has acquired two prehistoric Pokémon in Omastar and Kabutops. Both are vulnerable to Electric attacks, as well.

The Second Feather

There is an elderly man standing on a hill on the east side of town. Speak to him, and he reminisces about training in Johto as a young man. Something about you reminds him of his younger self, and he is happy to give you a treasure that he found there all those years ago: the Silver Wing^HG / Rainbow Wing^SS. This shimmering feather lets you track down the second of Johto's two legendary birds.
