The Move Deleter
- Main article: Move Deleter
A Move Deleter is located in the southern part of the city, left to the Pokémon Mart. Although not a huge place to visit, the Move Deleter is helpful for deleting moves that can't be deleted otherwise, such as HMs.
Dragon's Den
- Main article: Dragon's Den
A clan of masters of Dragon-type Pokémon have lived in the city for generations. The masters built the Dragon's Den, a cavern with an underground lake that contains a shrine to Dragon Pokémon, as well as the elders of the Dragon clan. The entrance is located behind the gym, across a small pond, while the main cavern seems to be located underneath the city itself.
Ice Path
- Main article: Ice Path
The Ice Path is the only way into the town from the north. Route 45 is also reachable from the south of Blackthorn, but the steep mountain path means it can be used as an exit only.
