Crystal Route 22

Viridian's western gate opens onto a low bank down to the water, where Ponyta gallop past and Poliwag gather at the edge.

Route 22 is in Kanto, with Viridian City to the east. In the story it comes after Route 19 and before Route 28.

Pokemon Encounters

Route 22 west of Viridian is an early proving ground of Spearow, Rattata, and a Surf-only Poliwag, with Ponyta galloping out of the grass at 5 percent.
