'''Although you can access Mr. Mortar earlier in the game, you won't have Waterfall the first time you pass by. To conquer the inside of the mountain properly, you'll need to bring along Pokémon that use Surf, Flash, Strength, and Waterfall. An Escape Rope or a Pokémon that knows Dig will help you if you get lost.''' | |||

Mt. Mortar looks intimidatingly huge, but most of it is just a big waste of time. From the entrance, you can go in to the lower cave, or down into the basement, but outside of a few easily purchased items, there's nothing on either floor. All of the good stuff is actually found on the same path. Surf north, then use Waterfall to get up to the entrance in the back of the cave. Weave your way through this tedious maze of hills and ponds, going a little out of your way to grab the '''Rare Candy''', '''TM 40''', and the '''Dragon Scale''' that is needed to evolve {{bp|Seadra}} into {{bp|Kingdra}}. Then take the ladder in the upper left corner to a thin strip of the lower cave, where you can pick up a '''Max Revive''' (and an '''Iron''' in Crystal) and head up the ladder along the left side of the cave to the Karate King's location. | Mt.
