Route 24

Master Route 24 in Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee! This guide details trainers, wild Pokémon, and strategies for Nugget Bridge and beyond.

You’ll begin on a now infamous bridge known as “Nugget Bridge”. Here, you have to battle your way through a series of 5 Pokémon trainers, with the hopes of earning a juicy gold nugget at the end. At any time, you’re allowed to leave and rest up at Cerulean City’s Pokémon Center. Shall we begin?

Wild Pokémon

The following Pokémon can be found in the tall grass on Route 24:

• Psyduck — Water-type, 20% chance
• Meowth — Normal-type, 20% chance (Let’s Go Eevee)
• Oddish — Grass/Poison-type, 20% chance (Let’s Go Pikachu)
• Bellsprout — Grass/Poison-type, 20% chance (Let’s Go Eevee)
• Venonat — Bug/Poison-type, 20% chance (Let’s Go Eevee), 30% chance (Let’s Go Pikachu)
• Pidgey — Normal/Flying-type, 20% chance (Let’s Go Eevee), 30% chance (Let’s Go Pikachu)
• Squirtle — Water-type, Rare spawn

Bug Catcher Cale

Pokémon: Venonat (Level 9, Bug/Poison)

This lad has a new Bug-type that you catch around here. Like Weedle, it’s Bug and Poison, so Fire and Flying-types will be great to use. If your partner is Eevee, Sizzly Slide should do a lot of damage to it as well.

Lass Ali

Pokémon: Psyduck (Level 10, Water)

Similarly, this lass’s Pokémon can also be caught here on Route 24. Since it’s a Water-type, Grass-types are ideal and Electric-types are also very good. That can mean Pikachu or a partner Eevee with Buzzy Buzz.

Youngster Timmy

Pokémon: Sandshrew (Level 10, Ground)

Hopefully you’re aware that Electric-type moves don’t work on Ground-types. Instead, try to focus on Grass or Water-types. A partner Eevee using Bouncy Bubble is also quite effective here.

Lass Reli

Pokémon: Meowth (Level 10, Normal)

This Meowth can surprise you with Fake Out, which always goes first and causes your Pokémon to flinch. But it only works on the very first turn. After that, just pummel it with your hardest hitting moves, ideally of the Fighting variety.

Camper Kevin

Pokémon: Growlithe (Level 11, Fire)

This trusty canine is a Fire-type and thus weak to Water, Rock and Ground-types. The likes of Geodude and Onix will be appreciated here. A partner Eevee can also douse it with Bouncy Bubble.

Having cleared all 5 trainers, you’ll receive a Nugget from the man waiting at the end, which you can sell for a tidy profit. But it turns out the man has sinister intentions for you…

Team Rocket Grunt

Pokémon: Zubat (Level 11, Poison/Flying), Koffing (Level 11, Poison)

This Grunt has Team Rocket’s trademark Poison Pokémon. For Zubat, Electric and Rock-types are the way to go. Both of your partners can shine with their Zippy Zap and Buzzy Buzz. For Koffing, anything goes, but please put aside your Grass-types for the time being.

After smashing the Grunt’s dreams, continue onwards towards the north-west corner of this area.

East from here is Route 25, where our next destination is. Before going that way, head south while keeping towards the west. You’ll find a patch of tall grass, with a young trainer keeping guard. If you time it right, you can sneak past him.

Camper Shane

Pokémon: Spearow (Level 11, Normal/Flying)

A weak bird Pokémon. If you want to show off, throw some Rock or Electric-types its way.

Carry on south through the patches of tall grass. In the far corner are 3 Razz Berries that nobody else is going to pick up. Further south, you can return to Route 4 and reach the entrance to the postgame dungeon. But you’ll need a way to travel across water.

For now, double back and head east towards Route 25.
