Pokémon world locations |
The Dragon's Den (Japanese: りゅうのあな Dragon's Hole) is a location in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver.
It is inaccessible before defeating Clair in the Blackthorn Gym, as it is blocked off by a man in front of the cave, and then it must be traversed to finally obtain the Rising Badge.
In Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver, many strong Trainers can be found within the cavern. The Master of the Dragon User Clan is located here, and he will quiz the player on their attitude towards and treatment of their Pokémon. If the player gives compassionate answers, the player will be rewarded with a Dratini that knows ExtremeSpeed (though this requires speaking to Clair on the way to the cave exit, and then returning to speak with the Master once more).
Silver can be found here, contemplating his training on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Clair will visit to reward the player with the Rising Badge she refused to award in the Gym, as well as TM24 (DragonBreath)GSC or TM59 (Dragon Pulse)HGSS.
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, after the battle against Silver at Mt. Moon, Lance and Clair will appear to challenge the player and Silver to a Tag Battle.

In the anime
The Dragon's Den appeared in Fang's For Nothin', where it was reduced to a series of tunnels leading to the Dragon Holy Land. The Dragon Holy Land takes over for the Dragon's Den's other roles, including the location of the Shrine and Dragon Fang.
Trivia
- While the Japanese names of the Trainers battled in the Dragon's Den are the same in both generations that this place is featured, the English names for those Trainers are different.
