Route 16 Guide
You need the Poke Flute, which you get from Mr. Fuji in Lavender Town after clearing Pokemon Tower. Use it from your inventory while standing in front of Snorlax. It wakes up at level 30 and attacks immediately, so save first. There are only two Snorlax in the entire game, one here and one on Route 12.
Yes. Several routes have version-exclusive encounters. FireRed gets Oddish, Growlithe, Scyther, and Electabuzz in certain areas, while LeafGreen gets Bellsprout, Vulpix, Pinsir, and Magmar. Check the encounter table for this route and look for the version tag next to each Pokemon.
After battling a trainer, walk 100 steps to recharge it, then use it while standing on the route. Nearby trainers ready for a rematch get an exclamation mark over their head. Rematched trainers carry stronger teams as you progress through the game. You get the VS Seeker from a girl in the Vermilion City Pokemon Center.
