Route 44
11 wild Pokémon across 4 encounter methods. 11 trainer battles.
Route 44 Guide
Route 44 is the long eastern road out of Mahogany, pushing you toward Ice Path and the final badge city.
Travel the route
Route 44 is the road that tells you the end of Johto is close. It leaves Mahogany Town, crosses water and ledges, and points straight into Ice Path 1F and the climb toward Blackthorn.
What to find
Battle Fisher Wilton, Fisher Edgar, Psychic Phil, Pokémaniac Zach, Bird Keeper Vance, Cooltrainer Allen, and Cooltrainer Cybil. Pick Burnt Berry, Max Revive, Ultra Ball, and hidden Elixer, then check the grass for Tangela, Weepinbell, Bellsprout, Lickitung, and the water for Poliwag and Poliwhirl.
Return with a reason
Return for late-game trainer rematches, Remoraid fishing in the right versions, and the most direct road from Mahogany into the Blackthorn approach.

Roaming Pokémon
The legendary beasts can pass through this route after the Burned Tower basement event.
Possible roamers
Raikou, Entei can move through this route once they are released.
Check your Pokégear map, then hunt on land when one is nearby.
Route changes
A roaming beast can move to a nearby route when you change areas, and it can also jump somewhere else.
If it is not here anymore, step between nearby routes and check again.
Nearby jumps
From here, a beast usually moves toward Route 42, Route 43, Route 45.
Use nearby routes to keep chasing without flying away.
Land only
The beasts stay out of Surf encounters, so they do not pop up while you are surfing.
Hunt in grass or on land instead of riding across water.
Ways To Move Around
Some parts of this map need a move, or only work one way.
Surf opens water paths here
Water tiles can become paths once you can Surf.
Bring a Surf user after earning Fog Badge if you want every shoreline path.
One-way ledges shape the route
These ledges let you jump down but not climb back up from the same spot.
Look before you hop if you are collecting items or avoiding trainers.
