Location of Challenger's Cave in Unova.

| Pokémon world locations
|
Challenger's Cave (Japanese: 修行の岩屋 Training Cavern) is a cave located in the western half of the Unova region. In Pokémon Black and White, a Black Belt appears to guard the entrance of this cave, allowing the player to pass and explore the cave if he/she has defeated the Elite Four and Team Plasma. It can be accessed at Route 9.
During the two year gap between Black and White and Black 2 and White 2, the cave entrance has collapsed.
Geography
Challenger's Cave appears to be carved out of a slight hill, each level of the cave being larger than the one above it. The cave is very dark, so Flash is required to easily navigate the cave.
The middle level resembles an inverted uppercase ‘E’ with stairs leading to the upper level on the lower branch, another set of stairs leading to the lowest level in the middle branch and a PP Up on the upper branch. Another staircase between the middle and upper branches leads to a raised platform and a bridge that can be crossed to obtain a nugget.
An underground stream divides the lowest level into eastern and western sections with a ledge initially preventing access to most of the western section. The eastern section can be reached by crossing the stream with Surf. The eastern section is a winding path leading southwards over some bridges with a bridge running east-west allowing access to the south western part of the cave. The southern end of the stream, blocked at the northern end by some rocks can be accessed by surfing east of the female Veteran.

Trivia
- According to Ace Trainer Beverly, there is a story that states that a legendary Pokémon is said to live in this cave. This legendary Pokémon was training its student Pokémon. However, there is no known legendary Pokémon to be found in Challenger's Cave.
- Veteran Shaun appears in Black 2 and White 2 after the collapse of the Challenger's Cave, moving to Wellspring Cave, and Veteran Julia moves to Twist Mountain.
- However, Shaun's Pokémon change levels, as his Snorlax has dropped a Level in Normal Mode, while Julia has a set of new Pokémon.
