Mount Mortar 1F Outside
7 wild Pokémon across 2 encounter methods.
Mount Mortar 1F Outside Guide
Mount Mortar is the big cave system off Route 42, built to feel optional at first and much richer once Surf and Waterfall open it properly.
Step inside
Mount Mortar's outside floor sits right inside Route 42, with multiple entrances making the mountain feel bigger before you have seen much of it. The first visit is usually a preview, not a completion run.
What to do inside
Pick up Ether and Guard Spec., search for the hidden Hyper Potion, and watch for Zubat, Machop, Rattata, Geodude, Marill, Goldeen, and Seaking depending on your route through the cave and water. The many exits are the point: Mount Mortar wants you to remember it and come back stronger.
Return with a reason
Return with Surf and later Waterfall when you are ready for deeper rooms, stronger rewards, and the full eastern mountain side of Johto.
Roaming And Swarm Hunting
Check nearby routes, caller notes, land and water caveats, and what can move before you chase.
Marill swarm

Hiker Parry can call when this swarm starts.
After you share phone numbers, come back here while the swarm is active.
