Route 12 is a series of docks over the sea along eastern Kanto. It connects Lavender Town in the north to Route 13 in the south and Route 11 in the west. Route 11 then leads to Vermilion City.
The first time you reach Route 12 should be through the route house south of Lavender Town. Two children are on the second floor. Speak with the little girl to receive TM50 Roost. This move restores the user’s HP but removes their flying-type during that turn.
Exit out of the gate to the south. Speak with the fisherman to challenge him to a Pokemon battle.

Defeat Zach to receive P2,900 and 5 Ultra Balls. 3 Ultra Balls can be found a few steps to the east.
A Sleeping Snorlax will be blocking your path onward. West of the Snorlax is Route 11, and south is the way to Route 13. In order to wake it up, you must obtain the Poke Flute from Mr. Fuji in Lavender Town. He can be found on the top floor of Pokemon Tower in Lavender Town, but the Team Rocket missions must be completed first.
Be sure to save the game before waking up the Snorlax. You will have 5 minutes to defeat the Level 34 Snorlax before you can attempt to capture it. Use fighting-type attacks, and try not to use special attacks because it has great special defense and HP. The captured Pokemon will have three maxed out stats, but the nature will be completely random. If you don’t like the maxed out stats or nature, or if you fail to capture it, reset the game and try again.

Enter the lone house on the docks of Route 12. Inside is a man who forgot his name. Tell him his name is “Mr. Dazzling” to receive TM32 Dazzling Gleam. This is a strong and accurate fairy-type special attack.
To the south is a boy Trainer who will ask if you’ve found a Moon Stone. If you’ve been following this guide, you should have found several by now! The developers know you can’t only find Moon Stones, not buy them.

A patch of tall grass for wild Pokemon can be found beyond another small tree to the southwest. This is the only patch of grass on Route 12. Capture a few Pokemon before continuing on to Route 13. A Max Lure can also be found within the tall grass.
