Pokémon World Routes ← Route 35 Route 37 →

Route 36 is a north-south, as well as an east-west route located in central Johto. Its northern terminus is at Route 37 south of Ecruteak City, its southern and western termini are at Route 35 and the National Park, respectively, and its eastern terminus is at Violet City.

It is the only route in the Pokémon world to have five different junctions (the fifth being the Ruins of Alph's north entrance).

Route description

Ecruteak-Violet

Heading south from Ecruteak, Route 36 is split in half by a series of trees. The western half proceeds south, passing a Trainer duo before merging with the eastern half southwest of a grass patch that blankets the southern portion of the eastern half. Now one route, Route 36 continues south, turning to the east and becoming extremely narrow as it meets the Route 35 connector path. At this junction, trainers have encountered Sudowoodo several times, using a Squirtbottle to move the Pokémon.

East of the junction, a man will give TM08 (Rock Smash), to any Trainer who is able to move the tree blocking the way. To his northeast on Thursdays, Arthur of the Week Siblings will give Trainers a Hard Stone the first time they meet him, and a Careless Ribbon the second time and all others (Generation IV only). South of this point is the north entrance to the Ruins of Alph, which also has an entrance on Route 32.

The route continues due east before turning south as it arrives in the west side of Violet.

Route 35 Connector

This path is an extension of Route 36 that links Route 36 to Route 35 and the National Park. Heading south from its northern terminus at the "Sudowoodo Junction," the route curves west, passing Schoolboy Alan and a grass patch before arriving at a T-intersection. To the north is another trainer, an Ice Berry tree, and the east entrance to the National Park. To the south is Route 35 (however, without Cut, this path is a dead end).
