Cerulean Cave is a large underground complex of maze-like tunnels which extend out from [[Cerulean City]] to the mountains beyond. With the misty, dark entrance positioned on the outskirts of Cerulean City, only to be accessed from [[Route 24]] or a section of [[Route 3]], the cave has been renown for its mystery and longing. The entrance to the cave looks like it has been carved out from a hillside forming an indented mouth into the hill. A thick layer of mist surrounds the area and silhouettes of dark trees can be seen in the background. An [[Ace Trainer]] guards the mouth of the cave and only allows powerful Trainers who own all eight [[gym badge]]s and have competed in and won the [[Pokémon League]] beating the [[Elite Four]] to enter its premises.

It is unknown whether Cerulean Cave was formed naturally through the process of weathering, built by man through the use of excavation, or perhaps by the Pokémon {{p|Mewtwo}}, of which is the caves most powerful resident and the only place to find this mythical Pokémon; however, it is most likely formed by natural means. Pictures of the cave suggest it is a solutional cave, which was formed in the soluble rock, {{wp|limestone}}, which is dissolved by natural acid in groundwater that seeps through the rock forming the cave systems. Because of this, {{wp|stalactites}} and {{wp|stalagmites}} have formed in the cave, rises from the floor and dripping from the ceiling. If Mewtwo was to create Cerulean Cave of which to rest in, the cave would of been recently formed, because due to the [[Pokémon Mansion journals]], Mewtwo escaped the [[Pokémon Mansion]] only after September 1 of when the Pokémon Mansion was in operation.

Because of its damp and dark environment, Cerulean Cave hosts a large array of different Pokémon well and truly beyond their average levels. These Pokémon have possibly gained this much experience from living in an area uninhabited by humans, and have adapted to their well suited environment. Pokémon such as {{p|Golbat}} and {{p|Venomoth}} are able to see their way through the darkness, while other powerful Pokémon like {{p|Hypno}} and {{p|Rhydon}} manifest in their habitat. All the Pokémon inhabiting Cerulean Cave have levels well over 40 and 50, and raise as high as 60, matching that of the [[Elite Four]] and even the [[Champion]], which is why the cave sealed off and is forbidden to enter unless Trainers own all eight [[gym badge]]s and have competed in and won the [[Pokémon League]] beating the [[Elite Four]]. However, at the deepest point of the cave lives {{p|Mewtwo}}, a Pokémon that can only be found in Cerulean Cave alone. Mewtwo was created by man in the Pokémon Mansion before it became too powerful and it escaped destroying the Mansion, exiling itself to the cave never to be seen again.

Cerulean Cave has had many different layouts over time, getting a change from not only one [[Generation]] to the next, but also from one game release to the next. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, the layout is true to that of the original {{2v2|Red|Green}} games, aside from the addition of {{m|Rock Smash}} boulders. However, besides these changes, the first floor has a large underground lake which covers most of the area. Using the complex of stairs and ladders, Trainer can make their way around the lake and the first floor of the cave. These can be done by going down to the first basement floor, which has no underground river, but a like maze-like structure formed by large boulders and rocks, that must be maneuvered around, while Trainers must try and get to the other side. Once, Trainers get through the maze formation, they are able to climb the ladders and get around the underground lake on the basement floor, which will lead them straight to a dead end and to {{p|Mewtwo}}.

The layout of the cave has been tweaked several times in the past, particularly in [[Generation I]]; however, the most recent layout (depicted in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}) looks almost exactly like the design in the Japanese versions of {{2v2|Red|Green}}, but with improved graphics.
