Tips

• Black Belt Kiyo waits on B1F with Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan at Lv34, and after you beat him he gives you a Lv10 Tyrogue.
• Reaching Kiyo takes Surf, Waterfall and Strength.
• Notable items include the Dragon Scale and TM40 Aerial Ace on 2F and the Protector, which needs Rock Climb.
• Unlike in Gold and Silver, the cave is already lit in HGSS, so you do not need Flash.
• Marill is a 1% find near the entrance, but a Marill mass outbreak makes it common.
• The upper floors have much stronger Pokémon, such as Lv32 Machoke and Lv31 Graveler.
