HeartGold & SoulSilver Route 35

Goldenrod's short northern road forks to the new Pokeathlon Dome. Its five athletic events pull crowds off the old path up to the National Park.

Route 35 is in Johto, with Route 36 to the north and Goldenrod City to the south. In the story it comes after Goldenrod Underground and continues north to National Park.

Yanma is the swarm prize here, appearing only when the daily swarm lands, so check the radio before you search. Ditto walks the grass the rest of the time, and the Nidoran pair fills out the route for anyone building toward Nidoking or Nidoqueen.
