Route 2

24 Pokémon can be caught at Route 2 in Kanto — highlighted on the map below.

Route 2 connects Viridian City to Pewter City in western Kanto and contains both Viridian Forest and the northwestern end of Diglett's Cave. A column of trees splits the route into two parallel paths: the western side is open to novice Trainers early on, while the eastern side requires Cut, the Chop Down technique, or a trip through Diglett's Cave from Vermilion City. North of a garden square and patches of tall grass stands the gate into Viridian Forest, beyond which the road continues to Pewter City.
