Pokémon Red and Blue: Route 2

Route 2 is a very short thoroughfare at this point in the game and this segment of the route has only a single patch of grass.

	Caterpie	Bug	L3-5	0%	15%
	Weedle	Bug/Poison	L3-5	15%	0%
	Pidgey	Normal/Flying	L3-5	45%
	Rattata	Normal	L2-5	40%

Either Caterpie or Weedle can be caught early here, but they and their evolutions will be described where they can both be caught in both games in the next section.

Enter the north building and enter Viridian Forest.

Enter Viridian Forest

Pokémon Red and Blue: Pallet Town III

Head back into the lab yet again. Talk to Professor Oak. If you:

• Defeated your rival on Route 22.
• Have not evolved your starter.
• Have not obtained any Poké Balls (Oak's Parcel does not count).

The Professor will give you 5 free Poké Balls. In other words, about thirty minutes of your time saves you P1000.

Head back to Route 1 briefly.

Proceed to Route 1
