Terminus Cave (Japanese: 終の洞窟 Terminus Cave) is a cave in eastern Kalos on Route 18. It is the location of the Legendary Pokémon Zygarde in Pokémon X and Y. Although the player can enter the cave as soon as they reach Route 18, they are not allowed to enter Zygarde's chamber until after entering the Hall of Fame, due to an Ace Trainer who is blocking the way.

Terminus Cave in the anime

Main series

Terminus Cave first appeared in From A to Z!, where several Team Flare Grunts led by Mable tried to capture Zygarde, but were quickly overpowered by the Legendary Pokémon.

Later in the same episode, Sawyer told Ash and his friends about the cave, and they decided to visit it on their way to Snowbelle City.

Ash and his friends arrived at Terminus Cave in Meeting at Terminus Cave!, where they had another encounter with Team Flare. During the confrontation, Squishy was separated from the group, although it was reunited with them in the next episode.

Terminus Cave in Pokémon Generations

Pokémon Generations

Terminus Cave appeared in The Adventure, where Red and his Pikachu were seen riding a mine cart through the cave while being chased by a wild Noivern. After a brief battle, Pikachu managed to defeat Noivern, allowing it and Red to safely reach the end of the cave, where they encountered a Complete Forme Zygarde.

Trivia

• In Alola, the layout of Resolution Cave's B1F is identical to Zygarde's chamber's layout in Terminus Cave. In addition, four orb-like items can be found in both caves, with one of them being a hidden Big Nugget. A possible translation for Terminus Cave's Japanese name is "End Cave", Resolution Cave's Japanese name.
• The official Pokémon X and Y guidebook marks the rooms as going downwards (1F, B1F, B2F), but the postgame guide marks the same rooms as going upwards (1F, 2F, 3F).
