In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{p|Moltres}} can also be found here.

In the games, Mt. Silver is off-limits to all but the most skilled of Trainers. After {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Kris}} has received all sixteen badges of Johto and Kanto, [[Professor Oak]] will give him or her permission to travel here.

[[Route 28|The route]] to the area is rough, though no [[HM]]s are explicitly required to reach the [[Pokémon Center]] just outside the entrance. Inside, however, the cave is dark, requiring {{m|Flash}} to see. Many high-level Pokémon reside in the cave, including rare Pokémon not found elsewhere in the Johto region, like {{p|Larvitar}} and {{p|Misdreavus}}.

The cave has only one entrance, unlike all other caves found in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, but goes deep into the mountain. In the cave's final room, the player will encounter {{ga|Red|a familiar face}} who will, wordlessly, challenge him or her to what is the highest-leveled Trainer battle in the history of the Pokémon series.

In the anime, Mt. Silver is the home of {{jo|Silver Town}}, a city that boasts at least 30 inhabitants. Silver Town's main attraction is the [[Silver Conference]], the [[Johto League]]'s yearly tournament that brings tourism to the city. Oddly, the anime depicts the mountain to be much smaller than shown in promotional maps.

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==

In the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} of ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'', {{adv|Red}} goes to the springs in Mt. Silver to recuperate from injuries he suffered from being frozen by [[Lorelei]]'s Pokémon during the {{chap|Yellow}}. While there, he meets [[Sabrina]], a former enemy of his, who is there to recuperate from similar injuries.

Later, Red and {{adv|Gold}} leave to Mt. Silver to train together.

[[File:KantoJohtoAreas.png|frame|right|Though Mt. Silver appears relatively deep into Kanto, it is identified as a Johto location by the PokéGear.]]

*Mt. Silver was called '''Shirogane Mt.''' in the {{v2|Gold and Silver|s}} deluxe edition of the [[Pokémon Master Trainer]] board game. Because its release predated that of the games, it used the Japanese name.

*Despite appearing to be closer to the [[Johto]]-[[Kanto]] border on the PokéGear map, the entrance to the [[Pokémon Center]] is 17 steps from the border when factoring in only horizontal distance, making it 10 steps farther from Kanto than the doorway of the [[player character]]'s house.

*{{ga|Red's Pikachu}}, who can be fought here at level 88, is the highest-leveled Pokémon of any in-game Trainer in the series. However, this only applies to {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} as Red's Pikachu is at level 81 in the original Gold and Silver (and by extension, Crystal).  

* In the original player's guide to Gold and Silver, there is mention of a "?" Pokémon that appears near the waterfalls in Mt. Silver at midnight or very early in the morning, however, this is a false rumor. The guide also claimed that the unknown Pokémon was supposed to represent legendary Pokémon found in [[Generation I]] that did not appear in Gold and Silver (which were programmed in and tradable from Generation I anyway).

* Like [[Snowpoint City]], Mt. Silver's summit features diamond dust on certain special days in Generation IV, including the anniversary of Gold and Silver's original release.

** If Red is engaged in battle on a day with diamond dust, there will be no Hail condition during the battle. As no battles could be conducted in Snowpoint City's diamond dust, this is the first indication of its in-battle effect.

* Mt. Silver is marked as a Johto location by the [[PokéGear]], however, all squares immediately surrounding it (including those to the west of it) are marked as Kanto areas by the PokéGear in Generation IV. This issue was not present in the Generation II map, which placed it directly above New Bark Town.

* The exterior of Mt. Silver is the only Johto area with Kanto characteristics, like the rocks, [[tall grass]], trees and the [[Pokémon Center]] itself. However, in gerenation IV, the only major differences are the rock and trees.

* In Generation IV, despite locations nearby, such as the {{rt|26}} entrance to the Pokémon League and the [[Indigo Plateau]] itself being able to be flown to from either Kanto or Johto, and players already there being able to fly to either region, Mt. Silver is ''strictly'' a Johto location, while [[Route 28]] is ''strictly'' a Kanto location. This means that a player cannot fly to Mt. Silver from Route 28 (if he or she has already been to the Pokémon Center outside) even though one can walk between the two locations rather easily.

* Spanish: '''Monte Plateado''' or '''Cueva Plateada'''

* Italian: '''Monte Argento'''

* German: '''Silberhöhle'''

* French: '''Grotte Argentée'''
