From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
The Dragon's Den (Japanese: りゅうのあな Dragon's Hole) is a location in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and their Generation IV remakes.
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.
In Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver, 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. If the player gives compassionate answers, the player will be rewarded with a Dratini that knows ExtremeSpeed (though this requires speaking to Clair on the way to the cave exit, and then returning to speak with the Master once more).
Silver can be found here, contemplating his training on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Clair will visit to reward the player with the Rising Badge she refused to award in the Gym, as well as TM24 (DragonBreath)Wrong template. See Template:Sup/doc. or TM59 (Dragon Pulse)Wrong template. See Template:Sup/doc..
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, after the battle against Silver at Mt. Moon, Lance and Clair will appear to challenge the player and Silver to a tag battle.
