Crystal Route 42

Mt. Mortar's entrance opens onto this mountain road from Ecruteak to Mahogany, alive with Aipom in the canopy and Heracross on the wooded slopes.

Route 42 is in Johto, with Mahogany Town to the east and Ecruteak City to the west. In the story it comes after Cianwood City and continues north to Mt. Mortar.

ROUTE 42 MAP

Pokemon Encounters

Route 42 threads between Ecruteak and Mahogany along Mt. Mortar, Arbok and Fearow patrolling the cliffs with a night Marill below. The Headbutt trees here are another solid Heracross stop.
