Rock Tunnel 1F
3 wild Pokémon across 1 encounter method. 7 trainer battles.
Rock Tunnel Guide
Rock Tunnel is Kanto’s dark mountain crossing, a long Flash-lit cave packed with Hikers, Pokémaniacs, Junior Trainers, and rocky wild encounters.
Step inside
Enter from Route 10 after the Pokémon Center and the cave immediately tests your patience. Without Flash, the darkness turns every turn into guesswork; with it, Rock Tunnel becomes a proper mountain road under stone.
Explore the place
Expect a long chain of battles across both floors. Hikers lean on Geodude, Machop, and Onix, while Pokémaniacs and Junior Trainers mix in Slowpoke, Cubone, Charmander, and more. Wild Zubat, Geodude, Machop, and Onix fill the cave, so bring Repels if you want the route to feel less exhausting.
Come back with a reason
Return if you skipped trainers or want cave encounters, but Rock Tunnel’s real reward is reaching the south side of Route 10 and stepping into Lavender Town with daylight behind you.
