Yellow Power Plant
An abandoned electrical station crackling with Magnemite and disguised Voltorb, where the legendary bird Zapdos roosts among the machines.
Power Plant is in Kanto, with its entrance on Route 10. In the story it comes after Route 21 and before Viridian Gym.
POWER PLANT MAP
Reaching the plant means Surfing across the pond off Route 10, since no path on foot leads to it. The interior is all one open floor, dense with dormant generators and without a single staircase.

Power Plant Guide
None at all. Red and Blue both have wild Pikachu here, with Raichu in Blue and Electabuzz in Red, but Yellow swaps them out. The wild list is all Magnemite and Voltorb, plus the Grimer line that Yellow added to suit the run-down plant. The only thing here worth a Poke Ball is the Zapdos waiting at the back.
