Route 35 lies just north of Goldenrod City, leading straight from there to Johto's famous National Park, home of the Bug Catching Contest. However, not all of the rare bugs are within the park, and the grass in the northeastern portion of the route is home to wild Yanma. The route is a relatively short route, leading the player in an S-like curve, around a small body of water, and north to the southern entrance to the National Park.
