← Route 9 Route 11 →

Route 10 is a north-south route located in northeast Kanto. The route, separated into northern and southern segments by the Rock Tunnel, runs between Route 9 to the north and Lavender Town to the south. A river along the northern and eastern extents of the route allows for access to the Power Plant via Surfing.

There is also a Pokémon Center east of the north entrance to the Rock Tunnel. In Generation III only, trainers can Fly back to the building.

Route description

Power Plant access

At the point where Route 9 becomes Route 10, a northerly path heads toward the river, as well as a narrow strip of land along the northern tip of Route 10 but fenced off from the rest of the route. From this strip, trainers who possess the ability to use Surf out of battle can Surf east along the river, then south past the remaining portion of the northern half of Route 10 (separated from the riverbank by a long fence) before turning west north of the Rock Tunnel's southern portal and making landfall just southeast of the building.

There is a lone trainer located on the beachfront southwest of the Power Plant.

In Generation III, there is a back door to the Power Plant west of the building; however, a ledge prevents access to it.

Northern segment

Just east of the path leading to the river is the only patch of grass on Route 10. The main path of the route runs along the southern edge of the grass, turning south near the river. Directly south of the patch and east of the north portal of the Rock Tunnel is a Pokémon Center, one of only two in the region that is found outside of a populated area (the Center on Route 3 near Mount Moon is the other). The building is separated from the Rock Tunnel by a string of shrubs and Cut-able trees. Trainers can either Cut down one of the four trees or travel around the blockade, taking on a trainer at the southern end of the blockade.

From the trainer, the route returns north, following the west side of the blockade. The path juts west, then east to avoid a fence before reaching the Rock Tunnel's north entrance.

Southern segment

The south portion of Route 10 acts much like a North American traffic circle in that movement is restricted in a counterclockwise motion around a large mound in the middle of the route. From the south entrance of the Rock Tunnel, the route turns west, then south, passing two trainers and hopping a ledge before encountering a third trainer. Route 10 then turns east to meet a three-way intersection. The south path at this fork leads to Lavender while the east path continues to the east before curving north, traversing a pair of ledges via openings, and returning west to the Rock Tunnel's southern portal.

Differences among generations

Generation II

Route 10 in Generation I.
Route 10 in Generation II.

With the closing of the Power Plant as a festering Electric Pokémon haven and the renovation of the facility into an operational power plant in Generation II, the Electric Pokémon were forced into a new grassy patch located just southeast of the Power Plant. As a result, Electabuzz are often found roaming Route 10. In Generation III, which happens at the same time as Generation I, the Power Plant is once again abandoned.

The amount of space between the southernmost point of the northern segment and the north portal of the Rock Tunnel was reduced by half. To compensate, the Pokémon Center was moved three paces south. The tree barricade between the Center and the Rock Tunnel was also removed. The southern segment of Route 10 was largely untouched, except for the removal of a trainer and the relocation of another.

As a whole, the route was reduced significantly in size, as was the Power Plant itself.
