Diglett's Cave

Diglett's Cave (Japanese: ディグダの 's Hole) is a long tunnel dug by and in Kanto. The northern entrance is on , south of Pewter City, and the southern entrance is on , near the eastern edge of Vermilion City (although in Generation II, it is located within Vermilion City). The passage is famous for connecting these two routes.
==Description==
As a whole, the cave runs from the northwest to the southeast, passing under Celadon City, , and as it progresses toward Vermilion from Pewter. There are no points of interest along the cave; however, the cave is the only location where wild and the rare are found in Kanto.
The usefulness of the cave as a connector route between Routes 2 and 11 has allowed Diglett's Cave to become one of the most important non-numbered routes in the Pokémon world. In fact, after the player enters Cerulean City, the only way to return to Pewter City and Viridian City without using or is to travel through Diglett's Cave.
In , Brock will come to the northern entrance and give passers-by his Pokégear phone number. Once defeated in a rematch he appears on late Saturday afternoon to offer a trade to the player.
In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the player is prevented from passing through Diglett's Cave until they have obtained the or traversed Rock Tunnel.

==Differences between generations==
In Generation II the cave was slightly shorter than in Generation I, and the southern entrance was also in Vermilion City, instead of like every other generation.
In Generation III the cave was much longer than in any other generation.
In Generation IV the cave is the same length as it was in Generation II. This makes it one of very few Kanto areas to retain its length from Generation II. The only change is the addition of walls, that allow access to a higher level of the cave.
The cave is restored to its Generation III length in Generation VII.

After some exploring, Clefairy encountered a Diglett by stepping on its head. This resulted in a massive whack-a-mole scenario between the Diglett, Clefairy, and Pikachu, eventually causing the cave to collapse. However, Red's team managed to exit before heading to Vermilion City.
Unlike in the , Red and his team encountered Diglett's Cave before Vermilion City, despite the fact that the cave must normally first be accessed by going through the city.
