If not for all the Pokémon trainers waiting around to duel, Routes 14 and 15 might almost be relaxing. Oh well, a trainer's work is never done! Like Route 13, these routes have their fair share of trainers, so be prepared. Every battle you enter makes your team stronger and brings you one step closer to becoming a master trainer.

Route 14[edit]

Route 14

This is a South East coastal connecting Route between Vermilion City and Fushsia City.

Seemingly a highway full of punk bike riders and wannabe thugs inhabit this Route preying on travelers. Many are carrying common Flying type Pokémon and some others have a bunch of Poison types too. So pack a Psychic and Electric type and come clear them all out for some good EXP.

Also if you wish to save the fights for later you can actually avoid most of the Trainers line of sight.

Near the long grass where Pokémon hide, you will need a Pokémon with Cut to access the long grass. Theres a variety of Flying, Grass and Poison types found here

You cannot reach the waters edge to use any fishing rods here.

Route 15[edit]

Route 15

Valuable and Valueless[edit]

The TM 20 near the end of Route #15 just contains not-so-useful Rage skill. But if you speak to Professor Oak's assistant at the lookout station between Route #15 and Fuchsia City, he will give you the EXP. All if you've collected 50 different Pokémon. This rare item allows you to evenly share experience points with the Pokémon in your current party that didn't fight in battle.

Fishing for the Best[edit]

Softboiled
While you're in Celadon City to do some surfing, cross the pond in the center of town for TM 41, the Chansey-only Softboiled technique that lets you transfer HP from Chansey to other Pokémon.

Once you've managed to snag the Super Rod in Route 12 and HM 02 (Fly) in Route 16, you'll be able to fish up pretty much any Water-type Pokémon you want... Even a Gyarados (appearing occasionally in Fuchsia City) in the Yellow version.

Note that you can get a Psyduck in Yellow... Just not by fishing. Use Surf at Route 6, and one will appear. Shellder is one water Pokémon that you won't want to miss, but he's also hard to track down in Yellow. Try Route 18, just outside of Fuchsia.

New Pokémon[edit]

#60 Poliwag
Pokemon 060Poliwag.png

Water-type Poliwag evolves two times: into Poliwhirl at level 25 and into Poliwrath with the aid of a Water Stone. At that third stage of evolution, they gain Fighting-type characteristics, but once again, their inability to learn any Fighting-type techniques makes this more of a liability than an asset. Certainly not one of the better Water-types.

#90 Shellder
Pokemon 090Shellder.png

Like Poliwags, Shellders evolve into their higher form, Cloyster with the aid of a Water Stone. And like Poliwags, they gain a new type in the process: Ice. But very much unlike Poliwags, Shellders are worth using. They're incredibly strong on Defense and have a high enough Special to make use of their powerful Water and Ice attacks. Just don't use that Water Stone until at least level 30.

#120 Staryu
Pokemon 120Staryu.png

Staryus also evolve with a Water Stone and also gain a second type, Psychic. The evolved form, Starmie, has a really high Special, so it could make good use of its Psychic abilities... If it had any (besides Light Screen, that is). A great Pokémon, but only if you're willing to use a lot of TMs to teach it the necessary skills. Blue/Red players can catch their own in Routes 19 through 21.

#132 Ditto
Pokemon 132Ditto.png

Ditto is fun as a novelty, but worthless in combat. He only knows one skill, Transform, which he can use to make himself a mirror image of his opponents. The only problem is that he keeps his own low stats, so the original will trounce him nine times out of ten unless you're extremely skilled.
