Route 35 is a short, pleasant path that leads northward from Goldenrod City. The main road leads to the National Park, while a smaller trail acts as a shortcut to Route 36.
Trainers with a telephone symbol by their names will give their Pokégear number to the player, and may call or be called for a rematch with higher-level Pokémon.
A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here.
Speak to the guard in the southern gate, and he asks for a favor. Deliver his Spearow, named Kenya, and the piece of Mail it holds to his friend on Route 31. It is worth noting that you can simply remove the mail and train this increased-experience Spearow for your playthrough if you'd like.
Attack of the Dragonflies!
Defeat Bug Catcher Arnie near the thin tree in the northeast, then be sure to trade phone numbers with him. He will call occasionally to alert you about a swarm of a certain Pokémon species. Yanma are usually difficult to find, but will be more likely to appear along Route 35 for a short time. The swarm only lasts until midnight, so be quick!

To compete, Trainers must catch the single best Bug-type Pokémon they can find. To do this, Trainers are given 20 Park Balls and are only allowed to use a single Pokémon from their party. The others remain with the contest officials until the competition is over. Any Pokémon caught will be recorded in the Pokédex, but only one Pokémon may be kept to be judged. The Pokémon selected to be judged may be kept after the competition.
The competition ends when 20 minutes have passed, all Park Balls have been used, or the Trainer blacks out, leaves the park, or chooses to quit. After that, the judging will occur, in which Trainers are scored on their skills of capturing rare and powerful Pokémon.

The odd tree mentioned by the women in Goldenrod City's flower shop can be found in the middle of the route, blocking travel from every direction. Despite its tree-like appearance, this oddity actually tries to avoid water. Use the SquirtBottle to splash a bit of water on it, and it attacks! It turns out to be a Sudowoodo, a rare Pokémon that is more similar to a rock than a tree.
You can catch or defeat this Sudowoodo. Once the path is clear, speak with the man to the east to receive TM08 (Rock Smash) as thanks dealing with the troublesome Pokémon.
Southeast Johto HM Goodies
This section is optional. Taking care of Sudowoodo allows us to again access Violet City and the surrounding areas. With HM Cut and TM Rock Smash, we can now access areas that were previously inaccessible. First, TM05 (Roar) can be found on Route 32 behind a Cut tree.
Mail Delivery
Take Kenya the Spearow to Route 31, and deliver it to the man dozing near the pond there. Complete the delivery, and he wakes up just long enough to give you TM50 (Nightmare). You can return to Route 35 to speak to the guard afterward to receive an HP Up as a reward.
Dark Cave and Route 46, Second Visit
Dark Cave, from Route 31
We can now access more of the Southwest Chamber of Dark Cave.

The southeast exit of Dark Cave at the bottom leads to Route 46, where some items can be found and trainers can be fought. Note that battling all trainers will require one extra trip through Dark Cave thanks to one-way ledges.
