Latest revision as of 23:47, 5 April 2024

The Rock Tunnel Connects Route 10 to Lavender Town. To get through, it is very useful to have a Pokémon that knows HM05 - Flash.

If you picked Squirtle or Bulbasaur as your starter and leveled it up decently, you'll have little problem getting through. Those who picked Charmander as their starter will struggle though, as the Rock types here are super effective against Fire types, though its move Metal Claw should make things easier.

Pick up as many Super Potions as you can in Vermillion City, as you'll be using them. For now, worry about getting to the other side and come back for the items/Pokémon later once you have a stronger team.

1F[edit]

There are plenty of new and rare Pokémon to encounter on the first floor of Rock Tunnel. If you don't feel like running into them, buy some Repels from Cerulean City.

New Pokémon[edit]

#66 Machop
Pokemon 066Machop.png

The second Fighting type Pokemon you can catch in the game, Machop is a potential bulkier replacement for a Mankey if you caught one earlier. Machop can be used effectively for most of the game, but you may choose to replace him with Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan once they become available.

Machop gets tons of Fighting type moves and evolves twice, first into Machoke at level 28, and then into Machamp after being traded.

#95 Onix
Pokemon 095Onix.png

Onix is the second Rock type Pokémon you encounter in the game following the Geodudes you ran into inside Mt. Moon. While it receives some good coverage moves, including Dragon Breath at level 30 and Iron Tail at level 45, it has a poor stat distribution, including an awful HP stat, and an Attack stat lower than Rattata's. You're better off evolving Geodude into a Graveler and using that instead, even if you can't evolve it by trading.

Onix can evolve into Steelix when traded holding a Metal Coat. Unfortunately, this cannot happen until beating the Elite Four.

Route 10[edit]

You will exit Rock Tunnel on the south side of Route 10.
