Location guide

Blackthorn City Guide

Blackthorn City is the hard-edged late Johto town built around the final Gym, Ice Path access, and the trip into Dragon's Den.

Arrive and look around

Blackthorn waits beyond Ice Path 1F like Johto's last locked door. The Gym, Dragons Den 1F, Move Deleter, Mart, and cliff roads are all built around the idea that you are almost ready, but not quite done.

What to do here

Challenge Clair, then follow the city's tradition into Dragon's Den before the badge chapter truly closes. Check the Move Deleter if your team needs old HM moves cleared, read the signs around the Dragon's Den, and use the city as your rest stop before deciding whether to descend Route 45 or push toward the League.

Return with a reason

Return for Dragon's Den cleanup, the Move Deleter, late Johto shopping, and the mountain loop through Route 45 and Route 46. Blackthorn feels severe, but it is one of the most practical late-game bases in Johto.

Ways To Move Around

Some parts of this map need a move, or only work one way.

Surf opens water paths here

Water tiles can become paths once you can Surf.

Bring a Surf user after earning Fog Badge if you want every shoreline path.

One-way ledges shape the route

These ledges let you jump down but not climb back up from the same spot.

Look before you hop if you are collecting items or avoiding trainers.
