After defeating Clair, it must be traversed to obtain the {{badge|Rising}}.<br /> <br /> In {{game|Crystal}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, several {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can be found in the cave. The '''Dragon Shrine''' (Japanese: '''りゅうのほこら''' ''Dragon {{wp|Hokora|Shrine}}'') is located in the south end (blocked off by a {{OBP|whirlpool|obstacle}}), where the {{OBP|Master|Dragon Tamer clan}} will quiz the {{player}} on their attitude towards and treatment of their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. After the quiz is completed, they will be rewarded with a {{p|Dratini}}. If they got all the answers right the first time, the Dratini will know {{m|Extreme Speed|ExtremeSpeed}}.<br /> <br /> {{ga|Silver}} can be found here contemplating his training on {{DL|Days of the week|Tuesday}}s and {{DL|Days of the week|Thursday}}s. Clair will visit to reward the player with the Rising Badge she refused to award in the Blackthorn Gym, as well as {{TM|24|DragonBreath}}{{sup/2|GSC}} or {{TM|59|Dragon Pulse}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}. This requires completing the quiz described above. In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, where the Dragon Shrine is closed and everything related to it is unavailable, Clair will instead give the Rising Badge to the player after they collect the [[Dragon Fang]]. If the Dragon Fang from Dragon's Den is not obtained, but the player has one anyways, usually from trading from another Trainer, Clair will call the player a cheater and refuse to give the badge.<br /> <br /> In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, after the player battles Silver at [[Mt. Moon]], they can participate in a [[Multi Battle]] with him against [[Lance]] and Clair here. Additionally, in these games, if the player receives the Rising Badge from Clair and then leaves the Dragon's Den with {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Teleport}}, or an [[Escape Rope]], then they must return to her Gym in order to collect the [[TM]].<br /> <br /> ===Items===<br /> {{itlisth|cave}}<br /> {{Itemlist|Revive|East of the entrance ''(hidden)''|G=yes|S=yes}}<br /> {{Itemlist|Revive|East of the house ''(hidden)''|C=yes}}<br /> {{Itemlist|Revive|West of the Ace Trainer Kobe on a rock ''(hidden)''|HG=yes|SS=yes}}<br /> {{Itemlist|Calcium|East of entrance|C=yes|HG=yes|SS=yes}}<br /> {{Itemlist|Max Elixir|North wall of water near Dragon Fang ''(hidden)''|G=yes|S=yes|C=yes|display=[[Max Elixir|Max Elixer]]}}<br /> {{Itemlist|Max Elixir|Near Twins Lea &amp; Pia|C=yes|display=[[Max Elixir|Max Elixer]]}}<br /> {{Itemlist|Max Elixir|<br /> * Near Twins Clea &amp; Gil<br /> * At southeast corner of shrine ''(hidden)''|HG=yes|SS=yes|display=[[Max Elixir]] ×2}}<br /> {{Itemlist|Max Potion|On rock north of shrine island ''(hidden)''|G=yes|S=yes|C=yes}}<br /> {{Itemlist|Max Potion|On rock south-west of Ace Trainer Piper ''(hidden)''|HG=yes|SS=yes}}<br /> {{Itemlist|TM Dragon|Gift from Clair after obtaining the Rising Badge|G=yes|S=yes|C=yes|display={{TM|24|DragonBreath}}}}<br /> {{Itemlist|TM Dragon|Gift from Clair near entrance after obtaining the Rising Badge|HG=yes|SS=yes|display={{TM|59|Dragon Pulse}}}}<br /> {{Itemlist|Dragon Fang|On the eastern coast (requires {{m|Whirlpool}})|G=yes|S=yes|C=yes|HG=yes|SS=yes}}<br /> {{itlistfoot|cave}}<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> ====Generation II====<br /> {{catch/header|cave|4}}<br /> {{catch/div|water|Surfing}}<br /> {{catch/entry2|129|Magikarp|yes|yes|yes|Surf|10-19|all=90%|type1=Water}}<br /> {{catch/entry2|147|Dratini|yes|yes|yes|Surf|10-14|all=10%|type1=Dragon}}<br /> {{catch/div|water|Fishing}}<br /> {{catch/entry2|129|Magikarp|yes|yes|yes|Fish Old|10|all=100%|type1=Water}}<br /> {{catch/entry2|129|Magikarp|yes|yes|yes|Fish Good|20|all=90%|type1=Water}}<br /> {{catch/entry2|147|Dratini|yes|yes|yes|Fish Good|20|all=10%|type1=Dragon}}<br /> {{catch/entry2|129|Magikarp|yes|yes|yes|Fish Super|40|all=60%|type1=Water}}<br /> {{catch/entry2|147|Dratini|yes|yes|yes|Fish Super|40|all=30%|type1=Dragon}}<br /> {{catch/entry2|148|Dragonair|yes|yes|yes|Fish Super|40|all=10%|type1=Dragon}}<br /> {{catch/div|cave|Special}}<br /> {{catch/entry2|147|Dratini|no|no|yes|Gift|15|all={{tt|One|Gift from the Dragon Master}}|type1=Dragon}}<br /> {{catch/footer|cave}}<br /> <br /> ====Generation IV====<br /> {{catch/header|cave|4}}<br /> {{catch/div|water|Surfing}}<br /> {{catch/entryhs|129|Magikarp|yes|yes|Surf|5-20|all=90%|type1=Water}}<br /> {{catch/entryhs|147|Dratini|yes|yes|Surf|5-15|all=10%|type1=Dragon}}<br /> {{catch/div|water|Fishing}}<br /> {{catch/entryhs|129|Magikarp|yes|yes|Fish Old|10|all=100%|type1=Water}}<br /> {{catch/entryhs|129|Magikarp|yes|yes|Fish Good|20|all=90%|type1=Water}}<br /> {{catch/entryhs|147|Dratini|yes|yes|Fish Good|20|all=10%|type1=Dragon}}<br /> {{catch/entryhs|129|Magikarp|yes|yes|Fish Super|40|all=65%|type1=Water}}<br /> {{catch/entryhs|147|Dratini|yes|yes|Fish Super|40|all=32%|type1=Dragon}}<br /> {{catch/entryhs|148|Dragonair|yes|yes|Fish Super|40|all=3%|type1=Dragon}}<br /> {{catch/div|cave|Special}}<br /> {{catch/entryhs|147|Dratini|yes|yes|Gift|15|all={{tt|One|Gift from the Dragon Master after receiving TM59 from Clair}}|type1=Dragon}}<br /> {{catch/footer|cave}}<br /> <br /> ===Trainers===<br /> ====Generation II====<br /> {{trainerheader|cave}}<br /> {{Trainerentry|Spr GS Cooltrainer M.png|Cooltrainer|Darin{{sup/2|C}}|1776|1|148|Dragonair|♂|37|36=リュウ|37=Ryū}}<br /> {{Trainerdiv|cave}}<br /> {{Trainerentry|Spr GS Cooltrainer F.png|Cooltrainer|Cara{{sup/2|C}}|1680|3|116|Horsea|♀|33||116|Horsea|♀|33||117|Seadra|♀|35|36=ユミコ|37=Yumiko}}<br /> {{Trainerdiv|cave}}<br /> {{Trainerentry|Spr GS Twins.png|Twins|Lea &amp; Pia{{sup/2|C}}|700|2|147|Dratini|♀|35||147|Dratini|♀|35|36=ハナとヒナ|37=Hana and Hina}}<br /> {{Trainerfooter|cave|II}}<br /> <br /> ====Generation IV====<br /> {{trainerheader|cave}}<br /> {{Trainerentry|Spr HGSS Ace Trainer M.png|Ace Trainer|Kobe|2220|1|148|Dragonair|♂|37|36=リュウ|37=Ryū}}<br /> {{Trainerdiv|cave}}<br /> {{Trainerentry|Spr HGSS Ace Trainer F.png|Ace Trainer|Piper|2100|3|116|Horsea|♀|33||116|Horsea|♀|33||117|Seadra|♀|35|36=ユミコ|37=Yumiko}}<br /> {{Trainerdiv|cave}}<br /> {{Trainerentry|Spr HGSS Twins.png|Twins|Clea &amp; Gil|1120|2|147|Dratini|♀|35||147|Dratini|♀|35|36=ハナとヒナ|37=Hana and Hina}}<br /> {{Trainerfooter|cave|II}}<br /> <br /> ;After defeating Silver at [[Mt.

In {{aniseries|PTS}}, the Dragon Holy Land takes over for the Dragon's Den's other roles in the games, including the location of the Dragon Shrine.<br /> <br /> [[File:Dragons Den HZ.png|thumb|left|250px|The Dragon's Den in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]<br /> ===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===<br /> The Dragon's Den appeared in ''[[HZ096|Crash! Team Dragon Rampage!]]'', here being depicted closer to the game incarnation, where [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Ult]] found the [[Black Rayquaza]] being protected at the Dragon Shrine by a team of {{tc|Dragon Tamer}}s called [[Team Dragon Rampage]]. With Rayquaza still being tired from [[HZ089|the battle]] at [[Laqua]], the group told it to keep resting for now.<br /> <br /> The Dragon Shrine reappeared in ''[[HZ129|Destiny of the Black Rayquaza]]'', where Liko, Roy, and Ult revisited it to bring Rayquaza something meant for it, [[HZ122|given to them]] by [[Friede]]. The item in question turned out to be a [[meteorite]], which Rayquaza consumed, restoring it to full power. [[Pagogo]] then {{Tera}}stallized Rayquaza, and Roy and Ult challenged Rayquaza to a battle to see which of them would get to be its partner. Although Rayquaza managed to defeat most of their Pokémon, it was eventually defeated by [[Roy's Skeledirge]], after which it allowed itself to be {{pkmn2|caught}} by Roy, fulfilling his dream of doing so. Afterwards, Rayquaza left to regather the [[Six Heroes]].<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==In the manga==<br /> [[File:Dragon's Den Adventures.png|thumb|160px|The Dragon's Den in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]<br /> ===Pokémon Adventures===<br /> ===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver &amp; Crystal}}====<br /> The Dragon's Den appeared in ''[[PS123|Debonaire Dragonair]]''.

However, if the player then returns to Dragon's Den and stands on the tile directly in front of the Dragon Shrine's door, Clair will appear again and give the player another [[TM24]].<br /> {{YouTubeVid|8BvBjqxmyOk|ChickasaurusGL|Crystal}}<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> {{Langtable|color={{locationcolor/light|cave}}|bordercolor={{locationcolor/dark|cave}}<br /> |zh_yue=龍穴 ''{{tt|Lùhng Yuht|Dragon's Den}}'' {{tt|*|Manga}}&lt;br&gt;龍之洞窟 ''{{tt|Lùhng jī Duhngfāt|Dragon's Den}}'' {{tt|*|Animated series}}<br /> |zh_cmn=龍穴 / 龙穴 ''{{tt|Lóngxuè / Lóngxué|Dragon's Den}}'' {{tt|*|Manga}}&lt;br&gt; 龍之洞窟 ''{{tt|Lóng zhī Dòngkū|Dragon's Den}}'' {{tt|*|Animated series}}<br /> |cs=Dračí sluj<br /> |fr=Antre du Dragon<br /> |de=Drachenhöhle<br /> |it=Tana del Drago<br /> |ko={{tt|용의 굴|Yong-ui Gul}} ''Dragon's Den''<br /> |pl=Jaskinia Smoka<br /> |pt=Toca do Dragão<br /> |es=Guarida Dragón<br /> |vi=Lỗ Rồng<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Related articles==<br /> {{Johto}}<br /> {{Project Locations notice}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Johto locations]]<br /> [[Category:HeartGold and SoulSilver locations]]<br /> [[Category:Gold, Silver and Crystal locations]]<br /> [[Category:Caves]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Drachenhöhle]]<br /> [[es:Guarida Dragón]]<br /> [[fr:Antre du Dragon]]<br /> [[it:Tana del Drago]]<br /> [[ja:りゅうのあな]]<br /> [[zh:龙穴]]</div> Grounded Aura
