The Altering Cave (Japanese: へんげのどうくつ Altering Cave) is a mysterious cave found in Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald. Only Zubat can be found in it, but it would have been possible for the Altering Cave's wild Pokémon to be altered by using Mystery Gift at a Wonder Spot hosted by Nintendo, hence its name. Despite this, no country has ever held an event to make use of this feature.

Location

In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Altering Cave is found north of Six Island on Outcast Island.

In Pokémon Emerald, Altering Cave is found on Route 103, on the east bank of the inlet that passes through the center of the route. The entrance of the cave is only open after the player enters the Hall of Fame.

Pokémon

All of the unreleased event Pokémon can be found in the extended area of the Safari Zone in Pokémon Emerald, except for Smeargle, which is found in Artisan Cave at the Battle Frontier. In addition, their evolutionary lines are all available in Pokémon Colosseum as Shadow Pokémon.

FireRed & LeafGreen Emerald

Thank you for using the MYSTERY
GIFT System.

Recently, there have been rumors
of rare POKéMON appearances.

The rumors are about ALTERING
CAVE on OUTCAST ISLAND.

Why not visit there and check if
the rumors are indeed true?

Thank you for using the MYSTERY
GIFT System.

There appears to be a rumor about
rare POKéMON sightings.

The sightings reportedly came from
the ALTERING CAVE on ROUTE 103.

Perhaps it would be worthwhile for
you to investigate this rumor.
