Pokémon Let's Go Route 16 - available Pokémon, items and trainers

Route 16 leads westwards out of Celadon City, and is one of two different ways you can head towards Fuchsia City (the other being Route 12 and beyond) in your quest through Pokémon Let's Go's main story.

Below, we'll cover any and all of the obtainable Pokémon, item locations, trainers and their squads that you might encounter in the area, as well as walking you through any key steps of the story along the way.

We've also opted to break out walkthrough pages down into sections, referring to each of your visits to a given location, seeing as you often backtrack or revisit various places in your quest to become Champion! Where applicable, we'll split our page into one section for each visit, and of course if there are any, clearly mark any spoilers, too!

Pokémon Let's Go: Route 16 - available Pokémon, items and trainers

The first thing you can do here is the same thing you can do over on Route 12: wake up that sleeping Snorlax.

Head up to the Snorlax now you have the Poké Flute and interact with it to play the flute and wake it up - but when you do, if this is your first time waking up Snorlax, Mr Fuji will come and talk to you.

He tells you that because Snorlax can be a little confused when they're woken up, they sometimes think you're a snack yourself, and attack! You have to defeat it then, before you can catch it, but once it's defeated in battle like a normal Trainer's Pokémon, you then enter the catch phase like a usual wild Pokémon in Let's Go.

The rest of Route 16 is fairly straightforward - although you should definitely take a flying Pokémon out of its Poké Ball for a test run here, as there's a nice surprise when you start heading south if you do!
