The Altering Cave (へんげのどうくつ, Altering Cave) is a cave found in the Sevii Islands and Hoenn.
In FireRed and LeafGreen, in the Sevii Islands, the cave is found on Outcast Island, found north of Six Island. In Emerald, in the Hoenn region, it is found on Route 103 on the east bank of the inlet that passes through the center of the route. However, unlike in in FireRed and LeafGreen, the cave appears only after the player makes it to the Hall of Fame. Also, the interior of the Altering Cave in Emerald differs from the one in FireRed and LeadGreen. This cave does not exist in Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby.
For normal circumstances only Zubat, ranging from levels six to sixteen, are found in the cave, but by receiving a Mystery Gift through the "Wonder Spot" event sponsored by Nintendo, the area of Pokémon will be "altered". However, the event was never held so the event only Pokémon could never be found here. There are also no trainers to be found in the cave. The reason that the event was never held was because the function of trades already allowed others to trade from other games so they removed the event. Although, the reason they did not remove Altering Cave is still a mystery.
