Route 45 is a route in the mountains of Johto. It can only be entered from the northern terminus, as the steep ledges that one can jump over make traveling northward towards Blackthorn City impossible.

Route description

The route starts as a single path as it leaves Blackthorn City, with an entrance to Dark Cave on the western side, but soon breaks into three parts, all of which inevitably pass through long grass. Soon, these recombine, then split again, into two distinct paths, only one of which offers long grass. These then recombine, then are split into two, then three, paths, all filled with long grass. These three then recombine into one before splitting off once more, the eastern half traveling towards a small pond, while the western half goes directly towards Route 46. South of the pond, the eastern half rejoins the western half as well. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, a river flowing down the mountain splits the route down the middle. It is not Surf accessible though.
