Ice Path 1F
5 wild Pokémon across 1 encounter method.
Ice Path 1F Guide
Ice Path is the late-game cave puzzle between Mahogany and Blackthorn, remembered for slippery floors and the Waterfall-side reward deeper in.
Step inside
Ice Path begins at the end of Route 44 and immediately turns the road to Blackthorn City into a sliding puzzle. The first floor is cold, quiet, and just tricky enough to make the final badge city feel earned.
What to do inside
Work through the ice floor, pick up HM07 and PP Up, and watch for Swinub, Zubat, Golbat, and Jynx. There are no trainers here, so the challenge is movement, patience, and keeping track of how the cave folds back on itself.
Return with a reason
Return for missed items, Waterfall progress, and another pass through one of Johto's cleanest late-game movement puzzles.

Ways To Move Around
Some parts of this map need a move, or only work one way.
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.
Ice changes movement here
Ice floors make you slide until you hit a stop point.
Plan the slide before stepping onto the ice.
