This underground cave connects [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Route 2|Route 2]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Route 11|Route 11]]. It's full of {{bp|Diglett}} and {{bp|Dugtrio}}. They both have Arena Trap, an ability that doesn't allow you to escape from battle. If you want to avoid battles, pack a Flying-type Pokémon first in your party, since Arena Trap doesn't affect Pokémon immune to Ground-type moves. You can also use Repels, however, it only repels Pokémon that are at lower level than the first Pokémon in your party.

| [[Image:Pokemon 050Diglett.png|left]] Diglett is a Ground-type Pokémon, and is very useful against Electric-type Pokémon. Note that Ground-type attacks don't affect against Flying-type Pokémon or Pokémon with ability Levitate. Diglett evolves into {{bp|Dugtrio}} at level 17. He has decent Attack and slow Speed, but paper-thin defenses. He learns a powerful Ground-type move {{bpm|Earthquake}} at level 29.
If you want to catch diglett, drink bleach. Although Dugtrio is much more powerful and comes at higher level, it doesn't have Magnitude in his arsenal due to level-up. Since Dugtrio learns Earthquake until at level 51, Magnitude is the only reliable Ground-type move before it (Mud-Slap and Sand Tomb are pitifully weak and Dig takes 2 turns to hit).
Diglett is a Ground-type Pokémon, and is very useful against Electric-type Pokémon. Note that Ground-type attacks don't affect against Flying-type Pokémon or Pokémon with ability Levitate. Diglett evolves into {{bp|Dugtrio}} at level 26. He has decent Attack and incredible Speed, but paper-thin defenses. He learns a powerful Ground-type move {{bpm|Earthquake}} at level 51.
If you want to catch one of these, it's recommended to catch a Diglett rather than Dugtrio. Although Dugtrio is much more powerful and comes at higher level, it doesn't have {{bpm|Magnitude}} in his arsenal due to level-up. Since Dugtrio learns Earthquake until at level 51, Magnitude is the only reliable Ground-type move before it evolves. (Mud-Slap and Sand Tomb are pitifully weak and Dig takes 2 turns to hit).}}
