Location A positional vantage point of Diglett's Cave in Kanto.

Diglett's Cave is a Kanto cave that interconnects Route 2 and Route 11, providing the most expeditious on-foot pathway therebetween.

This cave becomes immediately accessible by corollary of accessing its eastern-segment route in Route 11, which requires the Thunder Badge from Vermilion Gym; before then, the area is inaccessible due to the occlusive trees on Route 2, which the player will not have HM01 (Cut) to deobstruct early on, and because Vermilion City's eastern terminus will be roadblocked by then.

This cave is bypassable via the digway tunnel that is burrowed one each side of the cave, contingent that both sides have been interacted with.

Because this area incompositely consists of Speed-yielding wild Pokémon, it is considered the best free EV-training area in the game.
