In [[Generation I]], the cave was inconsistently referred to as the '''Unknown Dungeon''' (Japanese: '''ななしのどうくつ''' ''Nameless Cave'') in addition to its name. This moniker would later be reused for the {{kal|Unknown Dungeon}} in [[Kalos]], which is a direct reference to Cerulean Cave.

Cerulean Cave has had many different layouts over time, getting a change from not only one [[generation]] to the next but also from one game release to the next. Despite these changes, the first floor is mostly unaffected and has a large underground lake which covers most of the area. Using the complex of stairs and ladders, Trainers can make their way around the lake and the first floor of the cave. They will reach the upper floor, which has no underground river, but a like maze-like structure formed by large boulders and rocks that must be maneuvered around in order to reach the end. Once Trainers get through the maze formation, they are able to climb the ladders and get around the underground lake on the basement floor, which will lead them straight to a dead end and to Mewtwo.

It is unknown how the cave was formed, but pictures of the cave suggest it is a {{wp|solutional cave}}. A solutional cave is formed in the soluble rock, {{wp|limestone}}, which is dissolved by natural acid in groundwater that seeps through the rock, forming the cave systems. Because of this, {{wp|stalactite}}s and {{wp|stalagmite}}s have formed in the cave while water rises from the floor and drips from the ceiling.

Cerulean Cave is not listed as a [[Pokédex]] area in the [[Generation I]] games. Therefore, any Pokémon that can only be found in Cerulean Cave is listed as "<sc>Area Unknown</sc>" by the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex}} in these games.

The layout of the cave has been tweaked several times in the past, particularly in [[Generation I]].

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the layout of the first and second floors is based on the equivalent layout from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, while the layout of the basement is based on the respective layout from {{game|Yellow}}. Rock Smash boulders are also present and {{m|Rock Climb}} surfaces were added.
