Learn how to traverse Route 1 in Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, from Pallet Town to Viridian City. Discover wild Pokemon, catching tips, and find a Razz Berry.
Route 1 is a straightforward path connecting Pallet Town to Viridian City. As you head north through patches of tall grass and weave around ledges, you'll encounter wild Pokémon. Unlike previous games, wild Pokémon are visible and touching them initiates an encounter. The tall grass is primarily aesthetic, with wild Pokémon spawning from it. You will not battle wild Pokémon directly, but rather Pokémon trainers.
It is highly recommended to catch Pokémon in this area to build a strong team and progress through the game, as some milestones require a certain number of unique species caught. Catching Pokémon is also a primary way to earn experience points, especially with Great and Excellent throws or by catching the same species consecutively.
Near the exit of Route 1, in the north-east corner, interact with your partner Pokémon near a bush to receive a Razz Berry. This item, also found in Pokémon GO, can be used during wild Pokémon encounters to increase the catch rate.
