Blackthorn City

Contribution by Frisco

Known as the "Quiet Mountain Retreat," Blackthorn City is located in the northeast of the Johto region. It is famous for its deep-rooted dragon-taming traditions and serves as the final challenge for trainers seeking to enter the Indigo Plateau.

Buildings

Blackthorn City houses several essential locations for high-level trainers:

• Dragon's Den: A large subterranean cavern located behind the Gym. It serves as a training ground for Dragon-type masters and houses the Dragon Shrine.
• Move Deleter / Move Reminder’s House: A crucial stop for trainers looking to optimize their Pokémon's movesets by relearning forgotten techniques or deleting HMs.
• Pokémon Center & Poké Mart: Standard facilities located near the city entrance to support weary travelers arriving from the Ice Path.
