Crystal Route 27

Past Tohjo Falls the road crosses into Kanto, your first taste of a region changed in the years since the original adventure.

Route 27 is in Kanto, with Route 26 to the east and New Bark Town to the west. In the story it comes after Route 46 and continues north to Tohjo Falls.

ROUTE 27 MAP

Pokemon Encounters

Route 27 marks the Kanto border at Tohjo Falls, a mix of Arbok, Ponyta, and Dodrio with Quagsire and Noctowl out at night. The shoreline adds the usual Tentacool on Surf.
