Route 42 is a northern Johto route that passes by the entrances to Mt. Mortar.

Route description

Upon leaving from either the western or eastern terminus, a trainer must have a Pokémon with Surf to continue, as the route is divided twice over by small lakes. On the small landmass between the two, there is a tree that is able to be Cut, leading to a trio of Apricorn trees, much like those on Route 37.

Each of the landmasses on the route also features an entrance to a different part of Mt. Mortar.

In Pokémon Crystal, Suicune appears on the overworld near the Apricorn trees, but flees if the player gets close.
