National Park is a Johto park that is adjacent to Route 35 and Route 36. Its main, and only attraction is the daily Bug Catching Contest in which the player and NPCs compete for who can catch the best bug. Because of its great rewards, it is a location that is often visited.

Bug Catching Contest
- Main article: Bug Catching Area
The main attraction of the National Park is its Bug Catching Contest. Once every day, the player can enter the contest, in which he or she competes against several NPCs for who can catch the best bug within 20 minutes. On top of the entry being free, the rewards are also very diverse and usually excellent, making it one of the best daily activities.
Moving Pokecenter
Inside the south stop house, a Moving Pokecenter Agent will take the player to a very small room called Moving Pokecenter. Despite it lack of esthetics, this location has the main features of a regular Pokecenter; A Nurse Joy that will heal the player's Pokémon, a PC to deposit and withdraw Pokémons, as well as the ability to trade and enter PvP matches while inside this room. This is most particularly an excellent location to prepare for the Bug Catching Contest.
A Move tutor for the move X-Scissor can be found at the very end of the path behind the fence that starts east of the south gate. He will teach the move to any compatible Pokémon for the price of
15,000.
A Move tutor for the move Signal Beam can be found in the path north-east, beyond the fence. He will teach the move to any compatible Pokémon for the price of
8,000.
Tess, the lass with a Persian close to the south gate, will give the player a Quick Claw simply for talking to her. She will disappear afterwards, making it a one-time reward.
