Icefall Cave FireRed & LeafGreen · Sevii Islands area

Icefall Cave is the frozen cave reached by Surfing from Four Island, where Lorelei's rescue plea and a handful of Team Rocket grunts are waiting in the back. It is a good place to pick up HM07 Waterfall and a few strong items, and it has plenty of Ice and Water encounters.

Tips
- HM07 Waterfall is an item ball on the first floor, and the Full Restore and NeverMeltIce are on the lower floor, so sweep the cave before you finish the Rocket scene.
- In the back chamber Lorelei asks you to help drive off the Rocket poachers; the scripted fight uses Zubat and Golbat, so keep an Electric or Ice move handy.
- Swinub is the most common cave encounter on the upper floors; Sneasel is a rare LeafGreen find there, while Delibird is the rare FireRed find.
- Surfing in the back chamber can turn up Lapras at a very low rate, and the water near the entrance gives Seel plus Marill in LeafGreen or Wooper in FireRed.
- Fishing differs by version: Horsea and Shellder in FireRed, Krabby and Staryu in LeafGreen, in the back water.
