Vermilion City Guide
Vermilion City is Kanto's harbor and fan-club stop, with Surge's Gym, the eastern pier, and easy access to Diglett's Cave and southern routes.
Arrive and look around
Vermilion is still Kanto's sea gate: sunsets, ships, the Pokemon Fan Club, Lt. Surge's Gym, Diglett's Cave, and the port all crowd around the same salty grid.
What to do here
Challenge Surge, visit the Fan Club for the Lost Item chain, check the port when ship travel is available, and look for the hidden Full Heal. The fishing is broad here, with Tentacool, Chinchou, Shellder, Tentacruel, and Lanturn depending on rod and version details.
Return with a reason
Return for the harbor, the Copycat-to-train errands, Diglett's Cave access, and the southern Kanto routes. Vermilion is one of the easiest Kanto cities to turn into a working base.
