'''Dark Cave''' (Japanese: '''くらやみのほらあな''' ''Dark Cave'') is a single-level cave located in eastern [[Johto]]. Though it is not necessary to enter the cave to complete the storyline, Dark Cave is the only place in the [[Generation II]] games to capture {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Dunsparce}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}}. As its name implies, {{m|Flash}} is required to illuminate the cave.

===Route 45 side===

The northernmost point in the cave is at the entrance leading to and from {{rt|45|Johto}} just south of [[Blackthorn City]]. The path of the cave makes a 90-degree turn to the right before proceeding south for a short distance to the first of two underground ponds in the cave. Trainers can {{m|Surf}} directly south to reach a [[Revive]], to the southwest then to the north to reach a man who hands out the BlackGlasses, or to the southwest to make landfall near {{TM|13|Snore}}. West of TM13, the path from the BlackGlasses man merges with the TM13 path as it turns south and enters the southern portion of Dark Cave. Ledges on this side prevent access to {{rt|45|Johto}} and Blackthorn City from the south via Dark Cave.

===Route 31 side===

Immediately after emerging from the north half, the path comes to the second of two ponds. Trainers can Surf to the west from this point to snag a [[Potion]] and reach {{rt|31|Johto}}, or, if a Pokémon knows {{m|Rock Smash}}, they can also Surf to the south and dispose of a series of rocks as they head north and find a hidden [[Elixir]] and then eastward toward a [[Hyper Potion]]. Near the item, the path of the cave turns south, passing a [[Full Heal]] and a [[Dire Hit]] (in {{v2|Crystal}} only) before reaching its southernmost point at {{rt|46|Johto}}.
