Points of Interest

Viridian Forest

Main article: Viridian Forest

Viridian Forest lies in the middle of Route 2 with both the north and south entrances of Viridian Forest open to the route. The deep and sprawling forest is said to be a natural maze as many people get lost inside. The trees in the forest are so thick that little light gets in, and because of this the forest is full of Bug- and Flying-type Pokémon that attract Bug Catchers and other Trainers.

Diglett's Cave

Main article: Diglett's Cave

Located at the end of the eastern path of Route 2, just after the exit from Viridian Forest. Diglett's Cave can also be approached from the lower Right Side of Route 2 by travelling north. Access to this section from both areas requires HM - Cut

Trade: Mr. Mime
