Location of Sandsear Cave in Sinnoh.
Pokémon world locations

The Sandsear Cave (Japanese: 熱砂空洞 Hot Sand 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.

Geography

Sandsear Caves are arid, sand and rock filled caverns, containing small lakes of lava. Some rocks are taller than the player, and must be navigated around, as well as the various pools of lava.
