Pokémon Let's Go Route 9 - available Pokémon, items and trainers
Our complete Pokémon Let's Go walkthrough and guide to your big adventure with Pikachu or Eevee.
Route 9 is an optional and fairly standard route heading east from Cerulean City, and follows on from your return to Route 2 via Diglett's Cave in your quest through Pokémon Let's Go's main story.
Below, we'll cover any and all of the obtainable Pokémon, item locations, trainers and their squads that you might encounter in the area, as well as walking you through any key steps of the story along the way.
We've also opted to break out walkthrough pages down into sections, referring to each of your visits to a given location, seeing as you often backtrack or revisit various places in your quest to become Champion! Where applicable, we'll split our page into one section for each visit, and of course if there are any, clearly mark any spoilers, too!

Pokémon Let's Go: Route 9 - available Pokémon, items and trainers
You can totally skip Route 9 if you like, by taking up your Rival's offer of being teleported straight to the entrance of Rock Tunnel from your return to the side of Route 2.
If you do choose to take the scenic route though, there are plenty of items, trainers and wild Pokémon to be found - although not a lot else of note! One thing to bear in mind is that the route has lots of one-way ledges to jump off. You'll need to do a bit of doubling-back to collect every item or beat every trainer before you get to the far east end and Route 10 beyond.
Head back to our main Pokémon Let's Go walkthrough and guide hub for all our pages in one place, including detailed, step-by-step help for tough spots like Cerulean Cave, and the Elite Four, plus tough dungeons like Silph Co., Seafoam Islands and Victory Road.
