Route 44 and Ice Path
East of Mahogany, Route 44 leads to the Ice Path, a sliding-puzzle cave that drops you into Blackthorn. Solve the optional second ice puzzle for HM07 WaterfallWater — the last HM in the game.
| Pokemon | Type | Where | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sneasel | Dark/Ice | Ice Path | ★ Fast Dark attacker; great vs the Psychic/Ghost-heavy E4. |
| Swinub | Ice/Ground | Ice Path | Piloswine line; Ice + Ground coverage. |
| Jynx | Ice/Psychic | Ice Path | Strong special Ice — useful into Lance. |
| Delibird | Ice/Flying | Ice Path | Dex filler. |
Optimal call: Grab a Sneasel (Dark coverage for Will/Karen/the rival's Psychics) and an Ice attacker if you don't have one — Ice is the key to Clair and Lance's dragons. Don't leave the Ice Path without WaterfallWater.
