Crystal Vermilion City

In this harbor city, Lt. Surge's Electric-type gym shares top billing with the hungry Snorlax that blocks the eastern road until the Poke Flute wakes it.

Vermilion City is in Kanto, with Route 11 to the east. In the story you arrive from S.S. Aqua to the south and continue north to Route 6.

Pokemon Encounters

Vermilion gives up the usual Tentacool and Chinchou on its rods, but the catch that matters is asleep on the road out of town. That Snorlax sits at level 50 and only stirs for the right song, a single shot to catch it.
