Route 1

14 Pokémon can be caught at Route 1 in Kanto — highlighted on the map below.

Route 1 runs through western Kanto, linking Pallet Town in the south with Viridian City in the north, and is the first route new Trainers cross. Its simple terrain is dominated by patches of tall grass and long ledges stretching across the path, with only narrow gaps permitting northward travel. A Poké Mart employee stands in a small clearing handing out a free Potion, and southbound travelers can hop the ledges to skip wild encounters entirely. No opposing Trainers are stationed here.
