This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for Pokémon Gold and Silver.
These pages follow the original Game Boy Color iteration, not Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. The guide for those games can be found here.


Route 11

Route 11

Route 11 is a grassy path between Route 12 and Vermilion City to the west.


Vermilion City

Diglett's Cave

Roadblock

The wild Snorlax is still sleeping on the east side of Vermilion City, blocking travel to and from Route 11. It also happens to be blocking the western entrance to Diglett's Cave. To wake it up, tune the Pokégear's radio to Channel 20.0, then examine the creature to place the device next to it. The Poké Flute music rouses the Pokémon from its nap, and it attacks in a grumpy rage!

Diglett's Cave

Diglett's Cave is a long tunnel that spans nearly the whole region, linking Vermilion City to the east side of Route 2. Like the name implies, the only Pokémon that can be found here are Diglett and its evolved form, Dugtrio. With the Fuchsia City beach blocked off, it is currently the only way to reach western Kanto.


Route 2

Route 2

Route 2 runs between Viridian City and Pewter City. Much of the route's west side is occupied by a maze of trees.


A Friendly Face

Visit the house near Diglett's Cave and speak to the man inside. Living out in the wilderness, it has been some time since he has had a visitor. He is happy for the company, and gives out a Nugget to show his appreciation.


Pewter City

Pewter City

Pewter City is a quiet city nestled in the northern mountains between Route 2 and Route 3. The Pewter Museum of Science is currently closed for renovations, but the Pewter Gym is still accepting challengers.


Time for a Trade

Visit the Pokémon Center to find a man who would like to trade Pokémon. He is willing to part with his Rapidash in exchange for a Gloom. Gloom can only be found on Route 5.

Leader: Brock

The Rock Solid Pokémon Trainer


The Pewter Gym specializes in Rock-type Pokémon. Rock-type moves are super effective against Bug-, Fire-, Flying-, and Ice-type Pokémon, while Rock-type Pokémon are weak to Fighting-, Grass-, Ground-, Steel-, and Water-type moves.

The Gym features a rock garden, and has only one optional Gym Trainer battle before reaching the Gym Leader.

Because of their dual typings, each of Brock's five Pokémon take massive damage from Grass-type attacks. Aside from that, Water moves are effective against his Graveler, Rhyhorn, and Onix. Brock likes to dig for fossils in Mt. Moon in his spare time, and has acquired two prehistoric Pokémon in Omastar and Kabutops. Both are vulnerable to Electric attacks, but Electric Pokémon should be wary of being hit with Earthquake.

Boulder Badge





After the battle, Brock awards you the Boulder Badge.

The Second Feather

There is an elderly man strolling around the east side of town. Speak to him, and he reminisces about training in Johto as a young man. Something about you reminds him of his younger self, and he is happy to give you a treasure that he found there all those years ago: the Silver WingG / Rainbow WingS. This shimmering feather lets you track down the second of Johto's two legendary birds.
