Dazzling Cave

The Dazzling Cave (Japanese: 輝きの空洞 Radiance Hollow) is a type of hideaway seen in the Grand Underground. It can only be accessed after the player obtains the Explorer Kit in Eterna City from the Underground Man, and features Pokémon that roam the cave freely, instead of being found in tall grass.
