'''Route 4''' is a short path in north Kanto from the eastern exit of [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Mt. Moon|Mt. Moon]] in the west to [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Cerulean City|Cerulean City]] in the east. Though the official western terminus of Route 4 is at [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Route 3|Route 3]] south of [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Mt. Moon|Mt. Moon]]'s western entrance, the western terminus is regarded by most to be [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Mt. Moon|Mt. Moon]]'s eastern entrance.

From [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Mt. Moon|Mt.Moon]], Route 4 travels to the east, swerving to the north and the south to avoid ledges along the route. The path turns north, then east near a large clump of trees surrounding a grassy area. To the east of this area is a ledge that separates Mt. Moon from Cerulean. By hopping down this ledge, the trainer cannot return to the previous towns until they travel through [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Diglett's Cave|Diglett's Cave]] and use HM01 (Cut) on [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Route 2-22|Route 2]], or use HM02 (Fly) to return to the cities.
==Pokémon Found==
The majority of the route is fairly straightforward as there is only one true way to proceed on the path and there are no trainers to battle (with the exception of a Lass on the highest hill on the route; however, she is reached only by way of the waterway that begins on [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Route 24-25|Route 24]]).

In the Pokémon Center in the beginning of this route there is a fisherman that will sell you a very special Pokémon for 500 Pokédollars. At first it is the weakest creature in the entire game, with pitiful stats and only two possible moves (one of which is useless). When it evolves, however, it becomes one of the most invaluable and fearsome colossi of all the Water-types: Gyarados. Seeing as you can fish for Magikarp when you get the old rod a little later, this is still a rip-off.

Ekans A Poison-type Pokémon that is exclusive to Pokémon FireRed. Its Intimidate ability is quite useful: it decreases opponents Attack. It evolves into Arbok. It is rather mediocre Pokémon since its base stats aren't that good and it doesn't learn many powerful attacks by itself.
Sandshrew A Ground-type Pokémon that is exclusive to Pokémon LeafGreen. It evolves into Sandslash, which packs a punch. It has nice Attack and Defense stats, but its Special Defense and Speed are quite low. It learns some useful attacks by TMs.
