'''Luminous Cave''' (Japanese: '''ひかりの どうくつ''' ''Luminous Cave'') is a mysterious cave which appears in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]. The cave is filled with a mysterious light that speaks to whoever enters. It is used to evolve Pokémon in the game when they enter the cave.

After the {{player}} defeats {{p|Rayquaza}} at the [[Sky Tower Summit]] and convinces it to destroy the meteor headed for Earth, a chunk of the meteor hits the round stone in [[Whiscash Pond]], creating the Luminous Cave. It is discovered by {{p|Snubbull}}, who enters and evolves into {{p|Granbull}}.

The cave's small size makes it so that only one Pokémon can enter. Upon entering, the player will be asked if they would like to evolve. If they accept, the cave will then ask if they would like to give an [[item]] for evolution, and if they accept this as well, whether or not they would like to give a second item. This is used to evolve Pokémon such as {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Onix}}, who require [[Evolutionary stone#Water Stone|special]] [[Evolution-inducing held item#Metal Coat|items]] to evolve. The evolutionary item must be given for the Pokémon to be able to evolve.

If the player's lead Pokémon does not meet its evolutionary requirements, or is fully evolved, the cave will notify it and provide the reason (lacking an item, underleveled, etc.) and tell it to return later.

Additionally, the cave will take any item it is offered regardless of whether or not it is required for the player's evolution. However, it will return all items offered if the player does not meet evolutionary requirements.
