Mt. Silver is a mountainous network of cave chambers in Kanto. It is most known as being a very high level area in which Red will be waiting to fight at the summit. The path to him is however very long and filled with tough trainers.
The wild Pokémons are also an interesting point of the mountain. Not only are the Pokémon very high level, there are also many rare Pokémons living on the mountain, most notably Larvitar. Although it is not considered one of the best leveling locations, particularly due to the large amount of Pokémon with the ability Sturdy and the presence of higher level areas, it can still remain a compromise between leveling and rare Pokémon hunting.
Notable miscellanies
Climbing to Red
Getting to Red is no easy feat. It will be necessary to defeat many strong trainers blocking the way.
First, it will be necessary to defeat the trainers directly blocking the way to the summit. There will be three Rocket Grunts to fight with incomplete teams, followed by Jackson who will have a full party of 6 level 100s.
After going further, a Hiker will be blocking the path, asking to defeat the Karate Master in Expert Belt. This room is closer to the entrance of Mt. Silver, and will require Surf in addition to either Waterfall or Rock Smash. The Waterfall route simply requires to go up the waterfall west of the entrance in Mt. Silver 1F and enter the nearby room. The Rock Smash route however will require to go up to the upper floor of 1F and go down into the water south-west of the floor.
Once in there, the Karate Master will fight the player with a full diverse team. Upon defeating him, he will reward the player with an Expert Belt, and the Hiker blocking the way in Upper Mountainside will leave, leaving no more obstacle to reach Red.
Red (boss)
Red will be waiting at the Summit of Mt. Silver. He will fight the player on the condition that he or she has at least 3 level 100 Pokémons. Win or lose, he will disappear and the Subway will become usable, if the other requirement has been fulfilled. See the main article for more information.

Terminator (boss)
Terminator is the only NPC staying in Mt. Silver Moltres Room. To reach him, it will be necessary to bring a Pokémon who knows the move Waterfall. He will fight the player on the condition that he or she has at least 400 hours of playtime and has completed the Sinnoh Elite Four. While there are no requirements on Pokémon levels, it is necessary to come ready, as he will give no option to cancel once spoken to, and immediately battle.

After meeting the Legendary Beast Trio in Bell Tower, all three of the beasts will flee and disperse throughout Johto. Raikou will have fled to Mt. Silver and will be waiting east of the northern exit of Mt. Silver 3F, meaning all the trainers blocking the way to Red must also be defeated for Raikou. Raikou will battle the player upon talking to it, giving at the same time its Pokédex seen data. He is estimated to be level 120.
A Move Tutor for the move Iron Defense is located directly west of the entrance in Mt. Silver 1F, which will require Surf to reach. He will teach the move to any compatible Pokémon for the price of

A Move Tutor for the move Stone Edge is located in the south-east of Mt. Silver Lower Mountainside, directly next to the southmost exit. He will teach the move to any compatible Pokémon for the price of
