Route 22 , and then Route 22 revisited much later on, is a spot that opens up as early as your first visit to Viridian City in your quest through Pokémon Let's Go's main story.

Below, we'll cover any and all of the obtainable Pokémon, item locations, trainers and their squads that you might encounter in the area, as well as walking you through any key steps of the story along the way.

We've also opted to break out walkthrough pages down into sections, referring to each of your visits to a given location, seeing as you often backtrack or revisit various places in your quest to become Champion! Where applicable, we'll split our page into one section for each visit, and of course if there are any, clearly mark any spoilers, too!

Pokémon Let's Go: Route 22 - available Pokémon, items and trainers

Route 22 first becomes accessible as soon as you visit Viridian City, very early on in your adventure.

There are a handful of somewhat noteworthy Pokémon available here - ones you can catch slightly earlier than if you waited for the other routes they appear on - and there are a couple of items to collect while you're in the area, too.

There are no Trainers or battles to be had - but you'll notice that, at the routes far left end, there's a gate to the north. This is the way to Victory Road, and it actually contains several checkpoints. Eight, in fact: one for each Gym Badge. Each checkpoint asks you to show a different Gym Badge, so you won't be able to get all the way through it without all eight. Come back much later, then!

Next stop for you in your early-game visit is Route 2!

Beyond that we also explain how connect Pokémon Go to Let's Go on Nintendo Switch and transfer Pokémon, Catching, catch combos, and how to catch Pokémon, a quick collection of our best Pokémon Let's Go tips and tricks to get you off to a great start, and finally what we know about the Pokémon Pass app distribution event too.

Pokémon Let's Go: Route 22 revisited - available Pokémon, items and trainers

You'll revisit Route 22 much later on in the game, on your way to the Elite Four after finally collecting all eight Gym Badges. There are some minor spoilers in this section then, so if you want to be completely blind to anything that happens later in the game, skip this section for now!

When you enter Route 22 after defeating the Viridian City Gym Leader, your rival will come and stop you, and it's time for another battle!
