Route 40
4 wild Pokémon across 2 encounter methods. 4 trainer battles.
Route 40 Guide
Route 40 is the shoreline route west of Olivine, where the land gives way to the sea path toward Cianwood and, in Crystal, the Battle Tower approach.
Travel the route
Route 40 is the moment Olivine stops being a harbor view and becomes a departure. Step west from Olivine City, hit the beach, and the game asks whether you are ready to treat Surf like a real road.
What to find
Battle Swimmer Simon, Randall, Elaine, and Paula, search for the hidden Hyper Potion, and talk to Monica on Monday for Sharp Beak. Rock Smash can reveal Krabby or Shuckle, while the water and rods bring Tentacool, Tentacruel, Krabby, Corsola, Staryu, and Kingler.
Return with a reason
Return for Cianwood trips, Monday's weekday gift, west-sea fishing, and in Crystal the approach to the Battle Tower.

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.
Smashable rocks are here
Breakable rocks can block small paths or hide wild encounters.
Bring Rock Smash if you want to clear every cracked rock.
