Giratina in Turnback Cave.

Turnback Cave (Japanese: もどりのどうくつ Recovery Cave) is a mazelike cave filled with dense fog which is home to the Legendary Pokémon Giratina. The only way to locate where Giratina is is to pass three pillars without passing through thirty rooms. Once this has been done, Giratina will be in the next room no matter what. One of the many puzzles of the cave is that travelers can't turn back to the last room they visited. Escape Ropes are not usable, but if one is to turn back, it will warp them directly to the first room. When the player examines a pillar two numbers will appear. The top number indicates which pillar the player is looking at, the bottom indicates how many rooms have been passed through on the way to it.

After catching Giratina, one can return through the cave to obtain a rare item, depending on how many rooms it takes to reach Giratina's room again. In just 3 rooms, the item will be a Reaper Cloth; 4 to 15 will earn a Rare Bone; 16 to 30 will earn a Stardust. Over 30 rooms, of course, still returns the player to the entrance. Riding the bike seems to increase the chance of next entering a pillar room.
