| Turnback Cave is a maze-like cave filled with dense [[fog]]. The cave has a fixed starting point—the entrance room—and a fixed terminal room—Giratina's room. The rooms between those points are random every time the player goes through a door, and the room generated will be in one of two types of layouts: a room with a single pillar in the center, or a room with an odd pattern of rocks that may obstruct other entrances. The type of room expected to generate will persist even after loading a save. | | Turnback Cave is a maze-like cave filled with dense [[fog]].

| To reach Giratina's room, the {{player}} must find three pillar rooms; the room immediately after the third pillar room found is guaranteed to be Giratina's room. If the player passes through a total of 30 rooms before arriving at Giratina's room, the next door that is entered will return the player to the entrance room, where another attempt can be made. If a saved game is loaded in an intermediate room, the door the player originally entered by will not be remembered, meaning no door will lead to the entrance unless 30 rooms have already been entered. Exiting a room through the door from which it was entered returns the player to the entrance room, with the exception of the third pillar room or the door from the entrance room leading to [[Sendoff Spring]].

Turnback Cave (Japanese: 戻りの洞窟 Returning Cave) is a cave which is home to the Legendary Pokémon Giratina. In Sinnoh, it is located at the north-central region of Sendoff Spring, which itself may be accessed through the Spring Path. The cave can only be entered after entering the Hall of Fame. In Hisui, it is located in the center of a tall mountain crater in the Spring Path, which lies at the northwestern corner of the Cobalt Coastlands. Due to the slope of the crater, Turnback Cave is primarily accessible via Ride Pokémon.
Escape Ropes and Dig cannot be used to leave Turnback Cave.

Rooms and pillars
Turnback Cave is a maze-like cave filled with dense fog. The cave has a fixed starting point—the entrance room—and a fixed terminal room—Giratina's room. The rooms between those points are random every time the player goes through a door, and the room generated will be in one of two types of layouts: a room with a single pillar in the center, or a room with an odd pattern of rocks that may obstruct other entrances.
In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl, the inscription on the wall on the central pedestal in the entrance room reads:
- ...Past three pillars... to the sleeping... ...before 30 is surpassed...
In Pokémon Platinum, the inscription instead reads:
- ...Past three pillars... offer up...to the... ... before 30 is surpassed...
To reach Giratina's room, the player must find three pillar rooms; the room immediately after the third pillar room found is guaranteed to be Giratina's room. If the player passes through a total of 30 rooms before arriving at Giratina's room, the next door that is entered will return the player to the entrance room, where another attempt can be made. Exiting a room through the door from which it was entered returns the player to the entrance room, with the exception of the third pillar room and the door from the entrance room returning to Sendoff Spring. Each other door has a 25% chance to lead to the next pillar room.
In the pillar rooms, The inscription at the base of the pillars features two numbers. The first denotes which pillar room the player is in, while the second denotes how many total rooms the player has traversed (including the current room) since leaving the entrance room.
In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, saving the game and reloading from within any intermediate room will cause all doors in that room to lead back to the entrance room. In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, reloading a save within an intermediate room will cause the door which the room was originally entered from to be forgotten, meaning no door will lead to the entrance unless 30 rooms have already been entered.
Giratina's Room
Giratina's room has four entrances like other rooms in the cave, and from each a set of stairs descends to a central pedestal upon which Giratina will stand (or an item if Giratina has already been caught). In Pokémon Platinum, Giratina will only be present if the player did not catch it in the Distortion World. If Giratina has been caught, there will be a portal to the Distortion World where the player can obtain the Griseous Orb. If Giratina is not present, there will be an item, which reappears upon each subsequent visit to the room. Exiting any one of the doors from this room will return the player back to the entrance room.
There is an inscription on the wall on the central pedestal that reads:
- This is... That where life sparkles... That where life has faded... A place where two worlds overlap...
Pokémon Legends: Arceus
Turnback Cave is a small yet spacious rounded cavern that is empty, with stone pillars lining the wall. Giratina will appear in the cave after accepting Request 91: "On The Trail of Giratina" from Professor Laventon.

The Distortion World portal in Pokémon Adventures
Pokémon Adventures
In The Final Dimensional Duel V, Flint and Volkner entered the Distortion World through Turnback Cave. They were soon after followed by Platinum, Palmer, Cheryl, Riley, Mira, Marley, and the Advanced level Grunt. After leading the group to the portal, the Grunt was about to head out, but he was stopped by Platinum, who voiced her distrust towards him. She, however, promised to protect him from Team Galactic, which the Grunt agreed to, and led them through the portal.
Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!
Turnback Cave appeared in Enter the Distortion World!. After managing to make Kaisei spill out how to get to the Distortion World, Charon traveled to the cave and entered Giratina's realm through it with Kaisei, followed by Hareta, Koya, and Jun.
Trivia
- Turnback Cave is similar to certain locations in Kanto and Hoenn:
- Turnback Cave's system of seemingly random room layout may be an advanced version of the system used in Lost Cave in the Sevii Islands in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
- Turnback Cave and the Distortion World may draw some inspiration from the Japanese underworld, Yomi. Giratina itself can be seen as a parallel to the kami Izanami.
- Turnback Cave shares its music with that of the Old Chateau. However, in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the version of the track used in Turnback Cave and the surrounding areas is noticeably lacking certain soundfonts. Interestingly, this variation is not recognized as a separate track in the game's audio files and the normal variation of the track is used in Pokémon Platinum, suggesting the difference between the versions was unintentional.
