These routes are a good place to collect more Pokémon. Route #22 (shown below) is full of {{bp|Rattata}}, along with a specimen or two that are rarely found in this area. Remember to weaken a Pokémon in battle before using a Poké Ball on it, or else it will be able to break free. The first time you come through Route #2, head into Viridian Forest to continue your journey. | |||

It's a good idea to take some time and train your Pokémon on Route #22. You will have the chance to catch a Mankey, but they are only in Yellow version. Be sure that you do if you're playing it. Otherwise, be sure to pick up whichever Nidoran is more common in the version you're playing, both if you're trying to complete your Pokédex. If you stumble upon a Spearow, it makes a nice addition to your collection, being a better Flying-type than Pidgey. | It's a good idea to take some time and train your Pokémon on Route #22.

Your rival has improved somewhat since Pallet Town. In Red and Blue, he's using a Pidgey in addition to his starter; in Yellow, a Spearow. You will also want to have some new Pokémon at your disposal. The strategy below is not essential, but it makes things much simpler. | Your rival has improved somewhat since Pallet Town.

The first order of business is acquiring a Spearow, since it's right here on Route 22. Anyone not using Charmander should probably acquire a Spearow. Training it to Level 7-8 will be sufficient.

Training it to Level 7-8 will be sufficient. After that, go to [[../Viridian Forest/]] and capture a Pikachu. You'll want to do this no matter what starter you have, because Pikachu can counter your rival's new Pidgey (as well as two out of his three starters). Level Pikachu up to Level 9 for Thunder Wave. | ||

Spearow may not have a third stage of evolution like Pidgey do, but they're actually a bit stronger, and a bit rarer early on. Unlike Pidgey, Spearow begins with a Flying-type attack in Peck, and is destined to learn what is probably the best one: Drill Peck. Spearow has an immunity to Ground-type attacks, as well as dealing powerful STAB damage to Grass-, Bug-, and Fighting-type opponents. The increased damage from STAB helps a lot against Bug-type Pokémon as you make your way through [[ | Spearow may not have a third stage of evolution like Pidgey do, but they're actually a bit stronger, and a bit rarer early on.

It's first available on {{s|Route 5-6|Route 5}} in Red, but it isn't really worth it in that game: it can't learn Low Kick, so its only Fighting-type attack is the fixed damage Seismic Toss. | ||
