HeartGold & SoulSilver Cianwood City

Reached only by surf from Olivine, this storm-battered town holds Chuck's open-air gym and the pharmacy that brews Amphy's cure. West of it, cliffs open the road to the relocated Safari Zone.

Cianwood City is in Johto, with Cliff Edge Gate to the west. In the story you arrive from Route 41 to the east and it comes before Route 42.
