'''Challenger's Cave''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|修行の岩屋|しゅぎょうのいわや}}''' ''Training Cavern'') is a cave located in the western half of the [[Unova]] region. In [[Pokémon Black and White]], a {{tc|Black Belt}} appears to guard the entrance of this cave, allowing the player to pass and explore the cave if he/she has defeated the [[Elite Four]] and [[Team Plasma]]. It can be accessed at {{rt|9|Unova}}.

Challenger's Cave appears to be carved out of a slight hill. The cave is very dark, so {{m|Flash}} is required to easily navigate the cave. There is also an underground stream located in Challenger's Cave, so {{m|Surf}} is also required to navigate the lower levels of the cave.
Challenger's Cave appears to be carved out of a slight hill, with each level of the cave being larger than the one above it. The cave is very dark, so {{m|Flash}} is required to navigate the cave easily.
 
The middle level resembles an inverted uppercase E with stairs leading to the upper level on the lower branch, another set of stairs leading to the lowest level in the middle branch, and a {{DL|Vitamin|PP Up}} on the upper branch. Another staircase between the middle and upper branches leads to a raised platform and a bridge that can be crossed to obtain a {{DL|Valuable item|Nugget}}.
 
An underground stream divides the lowest level into eastern and western sections with a ledge initially preventing access to most of the western section. The eastern section can be reached by crossing the stream with {{m|Surf}}. The eastern section is a winding path leading southwards over some bridges. A bridge running east-west allows access to the southwestern part of the cave. The southern end of the stream, blocked at the northern end by some rocks, can be accessed by surfing east of the female {{tc|Veteran}}.
