Location guide

Route 18 Guide

Route 18 is the southern end of Cycling Road, feeding the last gate into Fuchsia.

Travel the route

Route 18 is the landing strip after Cycling Road. The slope calms down, the gate to Fuchsia City appears, and southern Kanto feels like normal ground again.

What to find

Battle Bird Keepers Boris and Bob, then check the grass for Grimer, Muk, Fearow, and Slugma. There are no big errands here, but the route gives the bike corridor a proper finish instead of dropping you straight into the city.

Return with a reason

Return when you want the fastest finish to Cycling Road, a short Bird Keeper rematch stop, or the tidy link between Fuchsia and Celadon's western side.
