Trivia

Despite the warnings given in the Special Episode about Sunflora's type disadvantage, not only are there no Fire-type Pokémon found in Spring Cave (aside from two Slugma in a cutscene) but over a third of the Pokémon in this dungeon are weak against Grass-type moves.
Spring Cave reuses tilesets from main story dungeons: Waterfall Cave, Side Path, Mt. Horn and Steam Cave.
