Blackthorn City (Japanese: フスベシティ Fusube City) is a city located in northeast Johto.
Pokémon Trainers often come to Blackthorn City in order to win the Rising Badge from Clair, the Blackthorn Gym Leader, who specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon.
Many famous Dragon-type Trainers, including Clair and Lance, come from Blackthorn City.
According to a resident in Blackthorn, most Trainers in the city end up being Dragon-type specialists. This could be because of the Dragon's Den in the area and because the local Gym Leader is a Dragon-type Trainer.

Pokémon Forget and Remember Moves
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.
Many strong Trainers can be found within the cavern. The Master of the Dragon User Clan is located here, and he will quiz the player on their attitude towards and treatment of their Pokémon. Correct answers will be rewarded, in Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, with a Dratini that knows ExtremeSpeed. Silver can be found here, contemplating his training some days of the week, and Clair will visit to reward the player with the Rising Badge she refused to award in the Gym, as well as TM24 (DragonBreath)GSC or TM59 (Dragon Pulse)HGSS.
It is inaccessible before defeating Clair in the Blackthorn Gym, as it is blocked off by a man in front of the cave, and then it must be traversed to finally obtain the Rising Badge. Clair and Lance appear for a Tag Battle if the player and rival have already battled at Mt. Moon.
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. It is known for its numerous ice puzzles, which vary in size and difficulty. The Ice Cave is famous for its rare Jynx, but it has many other Pokémon as well. It is the only place in Johto where wild Swinub, Jynx and Delibird can be caught.
Santos
- Main article: Week Siblings
Santos can be found in the city on Saturdays. When the player encounters him for the first time, he'll give out a Spell TagGSC or Soft SandHGSS, and then a Snooze Ribbon all other times after the first encounterHGSS.
Blackthorn Gym
- Main article: Blackthorn Gym
The Blackthorn Gym is the official Gym of Blackthorn City. It specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Clair. Trainers who defeat her receive the Rising Badge. After being defeated, Clair is so outraged by her defeat that she refuses to hand over the Rising Badge, forcing the player to go to the Dragon's Den before the Badge can be acquired.

Blackthorn City first appeared in Beauty is Skin Deep. Ash, Brock, and Misty witnessed an age-old ritual performed by Clair at the Riverhead Falls, a waterfall that is also the source of Blackthorn's main river. In the following episode, Ash took part in his Gym battle, but it was interrupted by Team Rocket's theft of the Dragon Fang. They chased the trio through the Dragon's Den to the Dragon Holy Land. Here, Ash reunited with his Charizard. In Better Eight Than Never, Clair and Ash restarted their battle, and Ash managed to earn his Rising Badge.
In Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!, the plane Dawn was taking to Johto was mentioned to make a stop in Blackthorn City.
Iris visited Blackthorn City in BWS02. During her visit, she found out that a Gible had been causing damage on the town by chewing off bits of benches, fountains, and such. Later, after saving Gible from falling off of a clock tower, Iris found out that Gible had wound up into the city by accident, and offered to take it away. She then met Clair, and together they took Gible to Dragon Holy Land. After Iris's battle against Clair at the Blackthorn Gym, Gible appeared again, showing that it wanted to come with Iris. Accepting the offer, Iris then caught the Land Shark Pokémon with a Poké Ball.
