Gold & Silver Route 26
A long coastal highway sweeps down from the Indigo Plateau's foothills to Tohjo Falls.
Route 26 is in Kanto, with Route 27 to the south. In the story you arrive from Tohjo Falls to the east and it comes before Victory Road.

Crossing into Kanto from Johto, Route 26 fields six trainers with Cooltrainers and a Psychic up to level 36. The jump in levels signals you are past Johto now.

Route 26 Guide
Yes, and it's new to the series. Gold and Silver run on a real clock split into morning, day, and night, and the grass swaps species along with it. Hoothoot only turns up after dark, for instance, where the daytime route hands you Pidgey. If something won't appear, come back at a different hour.
Material for custom Poke Balls. Routes 37 and 42 and Azalea Town have trees that each drop one Apricorn a day, and Kurt in Azalea turns a color into a matching ball by the next morning. A white one becomes a Fast Ball for skittish Pokemon, a black one a Heavy Ball for heavy catches like Snorlax.
