A land of myths and mysteries

Going underground
This is no ordinary underground. It's the Grand Underground! Sprawling beneath the whole of Sinnoh, this subterranean maze hides many secrets and just as many Pokémon in its passages.

While exploring underground, you'll happen across unique spots called Pokémon Hideaways. From water caverns to volcanic landscapes, these terrains are home to a variety of Pokémon – including ones that can only be found here.
