Route 2

14 Pokémon can be caught at Route 2 in Unova — highlighted on the map below.

Forested and gentle, Route 2 carries new trainers from Accumula Town north to Striaton City and hosts some of their earliest battles — four in all, the last against the rival Bianca. Side paths reward exploration: Strength unlocks a boulder guarding a southern item, stairs to the east and a Cut tree to the west hide more. In Black 2 and White 2 the route becomes one of the last areas reached, and reading graffiti scrawled behind the northernmost sign earns the Graffiti Gazer Medal.
