Route 9
Where?
East of Cerulean City, towards Rock Tunnel. The most immediately accessible grass from the city is near the west end, though it's above a ledge so you need to go around a bit to access it, but if you're actually going to be training here, you're better off heading all the way to the eastern edge of the route, where there is a patch of grass just north of the Route 10 Pokémon Center.
How to read this table
The bolded horizontal headings stand for the main condition that affects the following slots; the big cells on the left side describe which circumstances must apply for the rows they span to be active. The percentages tell you the chance of a Pokémon from this slot (row) appearing for any given wild encounter, provided the condition on the left holds. Each condition (i.e. each bolded horizontal heading) always has the same number of slots actually active.
If all this confuses you, and I don't blame you, just set the conditions in the form above to what actually applies for you right now, which will hide all the inactive slots and leave only the Pokémon you're actually going to be seeing. This will also recalculate the statistics at the bottom of the table accordingly.
