Route 37
14 wild Pokémon across 3 encounter methods. 3 trainer battles.
Route 37 Guide
Route 37 is the short orchard-like stretch between Ecruteak and the route network that fans out to the west.
Travel the route
Route 37 is a small orchard road with a big sense of arrival. The apricorn trees and trainers sit just south of Ecruteak City, turning the last steps out of Route 36 into the first glimpse of Johto's old-story city.
What to find
Battle Psychic Greg and the Twins Ann and Anne, search for the hidden Ether, and pick Red Apricorn, Blu Apricorn, and Blk Apricorn. The grass can bring Stantler, Growlithe, Pidgey, Pidgeotto, Spinarak, Hoothoot, and more depending on time, while Sunny's Magnet gives Sunday visits a special reward.
Return with a reason
Return for apricorns, Sunday's sibling gift, Headbutt trees, and the soft little bridge between Ecruteak and the Goldenrod-side routes.

Roaming And Swarm Hunting
Check nearby routes, caller notes, land and water caveats, and what can move before you chase.
Possible roamers

Check your Pokégear map, then hunt on land when one is nearby.
Route changes
They move as you travel
A roaming beast can move to a nearby route when you change areas, and it can also jump somewhere else.
If it is not here anymore, step between nearby routes and check again.
Nearby jumps
Route 36, Route 38, Route 42
From here, a beast usually moves toward Route 36, Route 38, Route 42.
Use nearby routes to keep chasing without flying away.
Land only
No Surf encounters
The beasts stay out of Surf encounters, so they do not pop up while you are surfing.
Hunt in grass or on land instead of riding across water.
