Dragon’s Den is a Johto cave located in the back of Blackthorn City‘s gym. The cave has two areas accessible at the beginning, and two deeper areas, Dragons Den B1F and Dragons Shrine, which need to be unlocked. Their unlock conditions are not simple at all, and will require the player to work hard for them.

Regardless of those two unlockable areas, the Dragons Den is known for being one of the best locations to level up. Not needing anything to unlock, it will be the leveling choice for a good while after reaching Blackthorn City for the first time.

Notable miscellanies

Dragonite

At the very entrance of Dragons Den B1F, a Dragonite will be blocking the path, preventing you from reaching anything beyond, including the floor’s wild Pokémon. It will not move until the player brings the Dragon Medallion, which can be obtained in Blackthorn City‘s Dragon Club. The Medallion requires you to pay 200,000 and to have at least 240 Caught data in Pokédex.

With the Dragon Medallion in hand, the Dragonite will fight the player. The Dragonite is level 120, and as such adequate preparation is necessary to defeat it. Furthermore, it will have a 24 hours cooldown in case of defeat.

Lance (boss)

Lance is located in the middle north of Dragons Den B1F. As such, it will be necessary to bring a Dragon Medallion and defeat the Dragonite blocking the way in order to reach him. Lance will battle the player on the condition that he or she has no Pokémon under level 100, meaning that it is possible to challenge him with a team of only 5 level 100 Pokémons and an empty slot. Once defeated, he will no longer be rechallengeable and the Cerulean Cave will be unlocked. See the main article for more information.
