Crystal Route 21

The sea crossing between Cinnabar and Pallet leaves Mr. Mime and Tangela stranded on its few scraps of land amid the Tentacool.

Route 21 is in Kanto. In the story you arrive from Pallet Town to the north and continue south to Cinnabar Island.

Pokemon Encounters

Route 21 strings between Pallet and Cinnabar, and Mr. Mime turns up on the few patches of land at 10 percent. Tangela owns the grass at up to 60 percent, more common still after dark.
