Location guide

Route 17 Guide

Route 17 is the heart of Cycling Road, built around the long downhill bike run to Fuchsia.

Travel the route

Route 17 is the real Cycling Road: long, downhill, and impossible to mistake for an ordinary path. Once you leave Route 16, the ride carries you south toward Route 18 with momentum doing half the storytelling.

What to find

Battle Bikers Riley, Joel, Glenn, and Charles, then search for hidden Max Ether and Max Elixer. The grass keeps the rough industrial feel going with Fearow, Grimer, Muk, and Slugma, while the route itself is all slope, gates, and bike pressure.

Return with a reason

Return when you want the full Cycling Road run, hidden item cleanup, or one of Kanto's most distinctive movement routes.

Ways To Move Around

Some parts of this map need a move, or only work one way.

Surf opens water paths here

Water tiles can become paths once you can Surf.

Bring a Surf user after earning Fog Badge if you want every shoreline path.

One-way ledges shape the route

These ledges let you jump down but not climb back up from the same spot.

Look before you hop if you are collecting items or avoiding trainers.
