Mt. Mortar — Tyrogue Detour
Mt. Mortar (off Route 42, between Ecruteak and Mahogany) is an optional cave with strong catches and a gift. Deep inside, a Black Belt gives you a Tyrogue.
Tyrogue (gift)
| Mt. Mortar catch | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tyrogue (gift) | Fighting | ★ Evolves by Atk/Def ratio: Atk>Def → Hitmonlee, Def>Atk → Hitmonchan, equal → Hitmontop. |
| Marill | Water | Bulky; Azumarill is sturdy. |
| Machop | Fighting | Machamp via trade — elite physical attacker. |
| Geodude / Tangela / Raticate | Various | Filler + items. |
Optimal call: A Fighting-type from here (Tyrogue's evolutions or a Machop) is great coverage for the Normal/Rock/Ice/Dark you'll meet — and Hitmontop/Hitmonchan are fun, viable picks. Skip Mt. Mortar if you're rushing; it's optional.
