The Blackthorn Gym is the official Gym of Blackthorn City. It specializes in {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Clair]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Rising}}. It will be closed prior to Team Rocket's defeat because Clair is training in the [[Dragon's Den]]. After being defeated, Clair is so outraged by her defeat that she refuses to hand over the Rising Badge, forcing the player to go to the Dragon's Den before the Badge can be acquired.

The Move Deleter can be found in a house to the left of the [[Poké Mart]]. For no charge, he will make a Pokémon forget a [[move]] it knows. The Move Deleter's service can be used to delete moves exclusive to Generation II, so that Pokémon can be traded to a [[Generation I]] game via the [[Time Capsule]].

The Move Deleter's service can be used to delete moves exclusive to Generation II, so that Pokémon can be traded to a [[Generation I]] game via the [[Time Capsule]].


In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the move deleter shares his house with [[Johto]]'s [[Move Reminder]], who will teach a move the Pokémon was previously able to learn in exchange for a [[Heart Scale]]. There are also two Move Tutors: [[Wilma|one]] who will teach {{m|Draco Meteor}} to {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, and another who will teach {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}} to the fully evolved {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, and {{type|Water}} [[starter Pokémon]], respectively. Like the Move Deleter, the tutors do not charge for their services.

==Development==
==Development==
As early of 1997 during Gold and Silver's development, Blackthorn City did not exist, as the entire map did not resemble the final design for Johto at all.<ref>https://tcrf.net/File:PokemonGS_Proto_Overworld_Map.png</ref> Its earliest incarnation is dated October 6th, 1998 as part of the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Source]], where it appears significantly different. The map from this point development was left in the final release of Gold & Silver, as well as Crystal, as Map '''2A:4C34'''.
As of at least the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld 1997 demo]], Blackthorn City did not exist, as the entire map did not resemble the final design for Johto at all. Another map from earlier in development was left in the final release of Gold & Silver, as well as Crystal, as Map '''2A:4C34'''.


From this (and the larger map of Johto from this time period) we know that the Ice Path was not in the games until far later in development, with an entrance to the city in the West from {{rt|44|Johto}} and [[Mahogany City]]. Additionally, the Dragon's Den does not appear to be present, though the overall idea for a vertically-oriented map seems to have been planned for some time. It's possible that the tower on the rightmost side of the map was related to Clair's eventual challenge before plans were changed, as the Blackthorn Gym is still present, just at the south east of the map instead. Grass occupies the majority of the map layout unlike in the final, where it is relatively sparse compared to the dirt and rocks around the area, which are also missing in this build. Blackthorn's buildings also lack their unique roof designs at this time.
This (and the larger map of Johto from this time period) shows that the Ice Path was not in the games until later in development, with an entrance to the city in the west from [[Route 44]] and [[Mahogany City]]. Additionally, the Dragon's Den does not appear to be present, though the overall idea for a vertically-oriented map seems to have been planned for some time. It's possible that the tower on the rightmost side of the map was related to Clair's eventual challenge before plans were changed, as the Blackthorn Gym is still present, just in the southeast of the map instead. Grass occupies the majority of the map layout unlike in the final, where it is relatively sparse compared to the dirt and rocks around the area, which are also missing in this build. Blackthorn's buildings also lack their unique roof designs at this time.

{{an|Iris}} visited Blackthorn City in [[BWS02]]. During her visit, she found out that a {{TP|Iris|Gible}} had been causing damage on the town by chewing off bits of benches, fountains, and such. Later, after saving Gible from falling off of a clock tower, Iris found out that Gible had wound up into the city by accident, and offered to take it away. She then met Clair, and together they took Gible to Dragon Holy Land. After Iris's battle against Clair at the Blackthorn Gym, Gible appeared again, showing that it wanted to come with Iris. Accepting the offer, Iris then {{pkmn2|caught}} the {{pkmn|category|Land Shark Pokémon}} with a {{i|Poké Ball}}.
