Route 43

23 Pokémon can be caught at Route 43 in Johto — highlighted on the map below.

Connecting Mahogany Town to the Lake of Rage in northern Johto, Route 43 offers two ways north. The eastern path passes through a gate and avoids tall grass entirely, but costs $1000 until Team Rocket has been driven out. The western path is nearly buried in grass and lined with trainers; from it, Surf grants access to an upper stretch of the route, where Wesley can be met on Wednesdays on the lake's north side if the player can Cut through the trees.
