'''Mt. Silver''', also known as '''Silver Cave''' (Japanese: '''シロガネやま''' ''Mt. Shirogane'') is a large mountain in [[Johto]] located west of {{ka|Victory Road}} and the [[Indigo Plateau]].  Mt. Silver can be reached from [[Kanto]] via {{rt|28|Kanto}} after receiving the sixteen Gym [[Badge]]s of both Johto and Kanto. At the very summit of Mt. Silver, the {{player}} may {{pkmn|battle}} with {{ga|Red}}. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{p|Moltres}} can also be found here.


In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it is the home of {{jo|Silver Town}}.  
'''Mt. Silver''' (Japanese: '''シロガネ{{tt|山|やま}}''' ''Mt. Shirogane'') is a large mountain in [[Johto]], located west of {{ka|Victory Road}} and [[Indigo Plateau]].
 
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, "Mt. Silver" only refers to the outside area at the foot of the mountain; the interior cave, exterior, and summit are all part of [[Mt. Silver Cave]] instead. In [[Generation II]], both areas are included under the location header '''Silver Cave''' (Japanese: '''シロガネやま''' ''Mt. Shirogane'').
 
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it is the home of {{jo|Silver Town}}, where the [[Johto League]]'s [[Silver Conference]] is held.


==Geography==
==Geography==
In the games, Mt. Silver is off-limits to all but the most skilled of Trainers. After the {{player}} has received all sixteen badges of Johto and Kanto, [[Professor Oak]] will give the player permission to travel here.

[[Kanto Route 28|The route]] to the area is rough, though no [[HM]]s are explicitly required to reach the [[Pokémon Center]] just outside the entrance. Inside, however, the cave is dark, requiring {{m|Flash}} to see. Many high-level Pokémon reside in the cave, including rare Pokémon not found elsewhere in the Johto region, like {{p|Larvitar}} and {{p|Misdreavus}}.
The route to the area, [[Kanto Route 28]], is rough, though no [[HM]]s are explicitly required to reach the [[Pokémon Center]] just outside the entrance of [[Mt. Silver Cave]]. Inside, however, the cave is dark, requiring {{m|Flash}} to see in the first room. Many high-level Pokémon reside in the cave, as well as rare Pokémon not found elsewhere in the Johto region, like {{p|Larvitar}} and {{p|Misdreavus}}.
 
The cave has only one entrance, unlike all other caves found in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, but goes deep into the mountain. In the cave's final room, the player will encounter {{ga|Red}}, who will wordlessly challenge the player to what is the highest-leveled Trainer battle in the Pokémon series.
 
In {{v|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Mt. Silver is much larger than before. {{m|Flash}} is no longer needed to light up the cave. The higher sections of the cave, where Red is located, require {{m|Rock Climb}} to be accessible. In addition, a {{weather|hail}}storm is present at the summit; this weather can become {{weather|diamond dust}} on certain days. At times, the player must also venture onto the slopes on the mountain's sides in order to climb higher.

They reached the base of Mt. Silver in ''[[EP262|You're a Star, Larvitar!]]'', and stopped off at the local [[Pokémon Center]]. Already competitors for the upcoming Silver Conference were gathering in droves, and Ash had a practice match against another [[Pokémon Master]] hopeful, {{OBP|Satchel|EP262}}. Witnessing a {{pkmn|Trainer}} training his {{p|Quilava}} made Ash consider [[Evolution|evolving]] his {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, but he ultimately decided against it.

==In the anime==
In the anime, Mt. Silver is the home of {{jo|Silver Town}}, a city that boasts at least 30 inhabitants. Silver Town's main attraction is the [[Silver Conference]], the [[Johto League]]'s yearly tournament that brings tourism to the city.  
 
==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
In the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} of ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'', {{adv|Red}} goes to the springs in Mt. Silver to recuperate from injuries he suffered from being frozen by [[Lorelei]]'s Pokémon during the {{chap|Yellow}}. While there, he meets [[Sabrina]], a former enemy of his, who is there to recuperate from similar injuries.
 
Later, Red and {{adv|Gold}} leave to Mt. Silver to train together.

[[File:KantoJohtoAreas.png|frame|right|Though Mt. Silver appears relatively deep into Kanto, it is identified as a Johto location by the Pokégear.]]
[[File:KantoJohtoAreas.png|frame|right|Though Mt. Silver appears relatively deep into Kanto, it is identified as a Johto location by the Pokégear.]]
* Mt. Silver was called '''Shirogane Mt.''' in the {{v2|Gold and Silver|s}} deluxe edition of the {{OBP|Pokémon Master Trainer|1999}} board game. Because its release predated that of the games, it used the Japanese name.
* Mt. Silver is marked as a [[Johto]] location by the [[Pokégear]]; however, all squares immediately surrounding it (including those to the west of it) are marked as [[Kanto]] areas by the map in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. This issue was not present in the map of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, which placed it directly north of [[New Bark Town]].
* {{ga|Red's Pikachu}}, who can be fought here at level 88 (level 81 in [[Generation II]]), is the highest-leveled Pokémon of any in-game Trainer in the series.
* In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the exterior of Mt. Silver is the only [[Johto]] area to use the [[Kanto]] tileset. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the only major differences are the rocks and trees; for example, the trees placed in the high exteriors of the mountain itself are the ones commonly found in Johto.
* In the original player's guide to Gold and Silver, there is mention of a "?" Pokémon that appears near the waterfalls in Mt. Silver at midnight or very early in the morning; however, this was a false rumor. The guide also claimed that the unknown Pokémon was supposed to represent legendary Pokémon found in [[Generation I]] that did not appear in Gold and Silver (which were programmed in and tradable from Generation I anyway).
* The lady inside the [[Pokémon Center]] in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, which was the only [[Non-player character|NPC]] present (other than the [[Pokémon Center lady]]), is absent in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* Like [[Snowpoint City]], Mt. Silver's summit features diamond dust on certain special days in Generation IV, including the anniversary of Gold and Silver's original release.
* In the {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} deluxe edition of the {{OBP|Pokémon Master Trainer|1999}} board game, Mt. Silver was called '''Shirogane Mt.''', based on a romanization of the Japanese name of the mountain; this is presumably because it was released before Gold and Silver were released in English.
* Mt. Silver is marked as a Johto location by the [[Pokégear]]; however, all squares immediately surrounding it (including those to the west of it) are marked as Kanto areas by the Pokégear in Generation IV. This issue was not present in the Generation II map, which placed it directly above New Bark Town.
* [[Fresh Water]] is collected from Mt. Silver, according to its item description in the Japanese and Korean versions of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. This is not mentioned in the English item descriptions.
* The exterior of Mt. Silver is the only Johto area with Kanto characteristics, like the rocks, [[tall grass]], trees, and the [[Pokémon Center]] itself. However, in Generation IV, the only major differences are the rocks and trees; for example, the trees placed in the high exteriors of the mountain itself are the ones commonly found in Johto.
 
* In Generation IV, whenever the player is in or on the mountain, the location bar will always say "Mt. Silver Cave", even when the player is not inside the cave.

Mt. Silver (Japanese: シロガネ Mt. Shirogane) is a large mountain in Johto, located west of Victory Road and Indigo Plateau.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, "Mt. Silver" only refers to the outside area at the foot of the mountain; the interior cave, exterior, and summit are all part of Mt. Silver Cave instead. In Generation II, both areas are included under the location header Silver Cave (Japanese: シロガネやま Mt. Shirogane).

In the anime, it is the home of Silver Town, where the Johto League's Silver Conference is held.

Geography

In the games, Mt. Silver is off-limits to all but the most skilled of Trainers. After the player has received all sixteen badges of Johto and Kanto, Professor Oak will give the player permission to travel here.

The route to the area, Kanto Route 28, is rough, though no HMs are explicitly required to reach the Pokémon Center just outside the entrance of Mt. Silver Cave. Inside, however, the cave is dark, requiring Flash to see in the first room. Many high-level Pokémon reside in the cave, as well as rare Pokémon not found elsewhere in the Johto region, like Larvitar and Misdreavus.

Mt. Silver in the anime

Ash and his friends planned to travel to Mt. Silver for the upcoming Silver Conference, though the addition of Larvitar to the group gave them another reason to pass through the mountainous area.

They reached the base of Mt. Silver in You're a Star, Larvitar!, and stopped off at the local Pokémon Center. Already competitors for the upcoming Silver Conference were gathering in droves, and Ash had a practice match against another Pokémon Master hopeful, Satchel. Witnessing a Trainer training his Quilava made Ash consider evolving his Cyndaquil, but he ultimately decided against it.

In Mother of All Battles!, the group reached Larvitar's home, the Mt. Silver Pokémon Preserve. After defeating the troublesome Pokémon Poacher Brothers, Larvitar was reunited with its mother, Tyranitar. Ranger Mason and crew protect the preservation area, and were pleased to have finally arrested the trio of poachers.

In Pop Goes The Sneasel, the group stopped off at the local Ho-Oh Shrine after the attendant reported a Sneasel, a Machop, and a Machoke were stopping anyone from reaching the Sacred Flame, which was needed for the opening ceremony of the Silver Conference. Harrison, a Trainer from the Hoenn region, assisted Ash and his friends in defeating the trio of wild Pokémon, and went on to catch the Sneasel for himself, allowing the torch relay to begin.

Ash and his friends reached Silver Town, the host city of the Silver Conference, in A Claim to Flame!. The city boasts at least 30 inhabitants, but the Johto League's yearly tournament brings a large amount of tourism to the city. The event wrapped up by Johto Photo Finish.

Mt. Silver in Pokémon Adventures

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

In Raising Raichu, Red arrived at the hot springs on Mt. Silver to recuperate from the frostbites he had received after being frozen by Lorelei in the Yellow arc. While there, he also met Sabrina, who was there to recuperate from similar injuries she received while battling Lorelei on Cerise Island.

At the end of the arc, Red and Gold went to Mt. Silver to train together. Their training session was seen in two special chapters printed in Pokémon the Comic, during which they battled against a wild Poliwrath and Venusaur.

HeartGold & SoulSilver arc

In Pleased as Punch With Parasect, the Radio Director admitted to Gold that he did spy on him training with Red on Mt. Silver. This had inspired the Radio Director to move into the television business with a kids' cartoon called Proteam Omega, whose characters were based on Red's Pokémon.

Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure

went to Mt. Silver following his battle with Blue at the Viridian Gym in The True Road to Becoming the Strongest!!. He discovered a powerful Trainer on the summit, and challenged him to a battle.

Trivia

Though Mt. Silver appears relatively deep into Kanto, it is identified as a Johto location by the Pokégear.

Origin

Mt. Silver is based on Mt. Fuji in the real-world Japan.
