Route 31 is a Johto route located between Route 30 and Violet City. In its north-east part is located an entrance to Dark Cave Entrance, as well as a burrow that can be used with Dig to skip the cave and reach Route 45. It is to note that from Route 31's entrance, it is only possible to reach half of the cave up to the exit in Route 46, making the burrow more than simply a time saver.
The route has been turned into an EV Training route; It is possible to EV train any of the stats by coming at the right time of the day, without having to worry about running into a Pokémon that gives the wrong EV. Due to this, it is also possible to capture Pokémons evolved earlier than possible. It is also the EV Training route with the lowest level Pokémons, making it ideal if the player wants to keep the EV trained Pokémons low level.
Notable miscellanies
The NPC Trader Peter, directly north from Route 30's entrance, will trade his Magneton for the player's Dugtrio. The Magneton will be initialized at level 15 and will also be holding a Metal Coat.
