Vermilion City

Discover Vermilion City in Pokemon GO! Find items, trade Pokemon, and learn about special encounters. Your ultimate guide to exploring this vibrant city.

As you enter Vermilion City, head west to the Pokemon Center to heal your Pokemon. To the left of the counter, a Hiker named Higeo offers a trade: your Geodude for his Level 16 Alolan Geodude. This trade can be repeated with your Kanto Form Geodudes. Outside the Pokemon Center, speak to the police officer to the right. If you have caught 60 Pokemon, she will give you the Squirtle. Continue east through the intersection to an empty plot of land. In the north-east corner, interact with the left side of the bottom storage container to find a Full Heal. Return to the intersection and head south. At the next intersection, you'll see the Poke Mart on the right. Instead, go left and speak with the Black Belt. Regardless of your answer to his question, you can receive a special Pokemon: if playing Let's Go Pikachu, catch 5 Growlithe; if playing Let's Go Eevee, catch 5 Meowth. Return to the Black Belt to receive a Level 16 Persian (Pikachu version) or a Level 16 Arcanine (Eevee version). Continue left and enter the Pokemon Fan Club. Speak with the chairman and listen to his story about his Rapidash to receive a Pikachu Set. Head back outside. South of the Pokemon Center, near a small tree, a man will inform you that you need Cut to access the Vermilion City Gym. To the east of the Poke Mart is the Vermilion City Poke Mart, selling various items:

East of the Poke Mart, you can head south to the Vermilion City Port to board the S.S. Anne, or go east to Route 11 and Diglett's Cave. If you choose to board the S.S. Anne, follow the pier south. A Sailor at the end will check your ticket and give you a Sailor Set. Inside the S.S. Anne, prepare for trainer battles.
