'''Route 4''' is a short path in north [[Kanto]] from the eastern exit of [[Mt. Moon]] in the west to [[Cerulean City]] in the east. Though the official western terminus of Route 4 is at Route 3 south of Mt. Moon's western entrance, the western terminus is regarded by most to be Mt. Moon's eastern entrance.

From Mt. Moon, Route 4 travels to the east, swerving to the north and the south to avoid ledges along the route. The path turns north, then east near a large clump of trees surrounding a grassy area. To the east of this area is a ledge that separates Mt. Moon from Cerulean. By hopping down this ledge, the trainer cannot return to the previous towns until they travel through [[Diglett's Cave]] and use {{m|Cut}} on {{rt|2}}, or use {{m|Fly}} to return to the cities.

The majority of the route is fairly straight-forward as there is only one true way to proceed on the path and there are no trainers to battle (with the exception of the [[Lass]] on the highest hill on the route; however, she is reached only by way of the waterway that begins on {{rt|24}}).

Depending on the Generation, there are items, Move Tutors, or both along this path.

===[[Generation I]]===

*[[TM04]] ({{m|Whirlwind}}): near the center of the route on the second-highest hill

*[[Great Ball]] (hidden) <!-- on the same plateau as TM04 - use itemfinder -->

===[[Generation II]]===

*[[HP Up]]: north of the grassy patch on the highest hill

 

===[[Generation III]]===

*[[TM05]] ({{m|Roar}}): near the center of the route on the second-highest hill

Although the body of water on the eastern edge of Route 4 is unable to be used for fishing, the game code nevertheless exists for the Pokémon that can be caught there.

==Differences among generations==

===Generation I to Generation II===

[[Image:R4gsc.png|thumb|Route 4 in Generation II.]]

The route was shortened significantly as the length between Mt. Moon and Cerulean was slashed in half, as was the grassy area. The TM was replaced with an HP Up and three trainers were added to the route.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==

Route 4 is visited in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' and ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'' in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter by {{Special|Red}} and [[Misty]]. It has a [[Pokémon Center]] and is where [[Mt. Moon]] is located, a {{evostone|Moon Stone}} is found in this last place.
