Viridian City
2 wild Pokémon across 1 encounter method.
Viridian City Guide
Viridian City is Kanto's western junction, linking Pallet, Pewter, Route 22, Diglett's Cave access, and the last Gym.
Arrive and look around
Viridian sits exactly where a Kanto crossroads should: Pallet Town below, Route 2 and Pewter above, Route 22 pointing toward the League, and the Gym waiting for the moment Blue is ready to battle.
What to do here
Use the city to heal and pivot between western Kanto routes. Talk around town for the old hometown stories, check the dream-eating Drowzee house, and save the Gym for when Blue returns. The road north also keeps Viridian tied to the forest-edge item sweep on Route 2.
Return with a reason
Return for Blue's Gym, the western Kanto loop, and any trip that links Pallet, Pewter, Diglett's Cave, and the Indigo side of the map. Viridian is quiet, but it holds Kanto together.

Ways To Move Around
Some parts of this map need a move, or only work one way.
Cut can open a blocker here
Some small trees or grass blockers can be cleared with Cut.
Bring a Pokémon that knows Cut after earning Hive Badge.
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.
