Guide to Cycling Road in Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen: Catch Snorlax, battle Bikers and Gamblers, and train your Pokemon on Route 17.
First, Fly to Celadon City. From there, head West to where you got Fly. If you don't have Fly, cut the bush to get it. You'll find a sleeping Pokemon. Prepare Pokeballs and play the PokeFlute to wake it up. This is Snorlax.
Snorlax Encounter:
| WILD POKEMON | APPEARANCE RATE(FR/LG) | CATCH DIFFICULTY |
|---|---|---|
| Snorlax | 100% | Very Hard |
Snorlax uses Rest, which restores its HP and status but puts it to sleep. It can still attack while sleeping. Your best bet is to throw Pokeballs. You only have two chances to catch it, so do not kill it or run away.
After Snorlax is dealt with, use the Itemfinder on its spot to find Leftovers. Then, proceed to Cycling Road. You will need your Bicycle. Before leaving the building, go upstairs to find Oak's assistant. If you have 40 or more Pokemon, they will give you an Amulet Coin.
