Route 11

Route 11

Route 11 links Route 12 to Vermilion City. There are only a few Trainers here, but it does lead back to the Snorlax just outside the city. To wake it up, tune the Pokégear's radio to the Poké Flute Channel and examine snoozing creature to place the radio near it. Annoyed, it attacks the nearest living thing. After the battle, Diglett's Cave is no longer blocked, leaving you free to continue through the tunnel.

Pewter Gym

Pewter Gym

PEWTER CITY
POKéMON GYM
LEADER: BROCK
The Rock Solid
POKéMON Trainer

The Pewter Gym specializes in Rock-type Pokémon. Grass-type attacks—like the Giga Drain TM move from Celadon Gym—will inflict heavy damage against all six Pokémon in the building. In addition, Brock's Graveler, Rhyhorn, and Onix are weak against Water moves, while his Omastar and Kabutops are vulnerable to Electric attacks. Look out for Earthquake and Sandstorm, which takes its toll on all but Rock, Ground, and Steel Pokémon.

The Second Feather

There is an old man strolling around the east side of town. Speak to him to receive either the Silver Wing^G or the Rainbow Wing^S, a feather he found while training in Johto. This allows you to track down the other legendary bird, either Lugia in the Whirl Islands^G or Ho-Oh atop Tin Tower^S.
