Verdant Cavern (Japanese: 茂みの洞窟 Verdant Cavern) is a location on Melemele Island in Alola, located in the northeastern portion of Route 2. It is the location of the trial of Ilima.
Trial
The trial begins as soon as the player enters Verdant Cavern; however, they can leave at any time, although this will reset the trial. Once the trial guide has stepped aside to grant access to the Totem's Den, the player can leave at any time without resetting the trial.
In this trial, the player must find and battle two YungoosSUS/Alolan RattataMUM and a GumshoosSUS/an Alolan RaticateMUM. Along the way, the player will face two Team Skull Grunts and battle one of them; once defeated, the two grunts will unwittingly help the player finish the trial. Despite not officially being part of the trial, the grunts act as if they are, resetting when the trial is reset.
After defeating the Totem Pokémon, the player will be greeted by Ilima for completing the trial and will receive a Normalium Z as a reward. After completing the trial, wild Pokémon will appear in Verdant Cavern as both ambush encounters and cave tile encounters.

Pokémon the Series
Verdant Cavern appeared in To Top a Totem!, as the site of Ash's first island trial. Wanting to ask Yungoos and Gumshoos's help in dealing with a group of Alolan Rattata and Raticate causing havoc around Melemele Island, Ash was led to the Verdant Cavern by Hala to battle Totem Gumshoos and get it to help them.
At first, Ash faced a Yungoos and Gumshoos, the Totem's ally Pokémon, which he defeated with the help of Pikachu and Rowlet. After this, Totem Gumshoos appeared, challenging Ash. It was able to defeat Rowlet, but was eventually taken down by Pikachu. As a reward for winning the battle, Totem Gumshoos gave Ash a Normalium Z and agreed to help in driving away the troublesome Rattata and Raticate. Unbeknownst to Ash and Hala, Tapu Koko secretly followed the trial as it took place.

The following is a list is of cards mentioning or featuring Verdant Cavern in the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
Trivia
- In Pokémon Moon and Pokémon Ultra Moon, when the Totem Raticate appears, Gumshoos's cry is played instead of Raticate's.
