Cerulean Cave: Difference between revisions

* In the Japanese version of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, this location is referred to by this name in the game data, but because the location itself does not appear in the games, this name is not visible in-game.

Cerulean Cave is home to a wide variety of high-[[level]] [[wild Pokémon]]. {{p|Mewtwo}} inhabits the deepest part of the cave.

In [[Generation II]], Cerulean Cave completely collapsed but the leftovers of Mewtwo's presence remain and are found in the lake near the cave, in the form of the item [[Berserk Gene]]. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cerulean Cave has been rebuilt and Mewtwo can once again be found inside. An [[Non-player character|NPC]] blocks the entrance until the player has obtained all eight Kanto Gym [[Badge]]s (as opposed to defeating the Pokémon League at Indigo Plateau, the requirement in the Generation I games and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen). In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, if Mew is [[Walking Pokémon|brought along]], it will sense Mewtwo's presence and act apprehensive.

Cerulean Cave is a large underground complex of maze-like tunnels which extend out from [[Cerulean City]] to the mountains beyond. With the dark entrance positioned on the outskirts of Cerulean City, only accessible by {{m|surf}}ing down {{rt|24|Kanto}} to the entrance near the northern border of [[Cerulean City]], the [[cave]] has been renowned for its mystery. The entrance to the cave looks like it has been carved out from a hillside, forming an indented entrance into the hill. An [[Non-player character|NPC]] guards the entrance to the cave and only allows {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who own all eight Kanto Gym [[Badge]]s and have entered the [[Hall of Fame]] to enter.

Cerulean Cave has had many different layouts over time, getting a change from not only one [[generation]] to the next but also from one game release to the next. Despite these changes, the first floor is mostly unaffected and has a large underground lake which covers most of the area. Using the complex of stairs and ladders, Trainers can make their way around the lake and the first floor of the cave. They will reach the upper floor, which has no underground river, but a like maze-like structure formed by large boulders and rocks that must be maneuvered around in order to reach the end. Once Trainers get through the maze formation, they are able to climb the ladders and get around the underground lake on the basement floor, which will lead them straight to a dead end and to Mewtwo.

{{Itlistfoot|Cave}}

These items are hidden at certain spots of the cave and [[recurring item|respawn]] occasionally or daily. All hidden items in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! may respawn either daily or more frequently, however at these locations in Cerulean Cave the item that respawns varies. The item received is not determined until it is picked up, so what the item is can be affected by [[Soft resetting|resetting]]. However, if the player goes down a ladder and goes back up a ladder, the items and their spots will reset.

These hidden items respawn at random.
