The Ice Path (Japanese: こおりのぬけみち Ice Path) is a four-floored cave located in the Johto region that connects Route 44 with Blackthorn City.

Layout

In Pokémon Gold and Silver, the Ice Path looked like an average cave. It was redesigned in Pokémon Crystal, having received a completely new and unique tile set that better depicts it as an icy cave as well as changes in the features and puzzles. Its design in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver is thus modeled after the Pokémon Crystal design.

In the anime

The ice cave's Pokémon Center

The Ice Path has not appeared by name in the anime. The Ice Cave, which serves the same role as the Ice Path, appeared in EP250, which is a banned episode. The Ice Cave had a Pokémon Center inside where Nurse Joy was aided by a Jynx rather than a Chansey.
