Mt. Silver
Mt. Silver (Japanese: シロガネ山 Mt. Shirogane) is a large mountain in Johto located west of Victory Road and Indigo Plateau. The location is also referred to as Silver Cave (Japanese: シロガネやま Mt. Shirogane) in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal or Mt. Silver Cave (Japanese: シロガネやまどうくつ Mt. Shirogane Cave) in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. Mt. Silver can be reached from Kanto via Route 28 after receiving the sixteen Gym Badges of both Johto and Kanto. At the very summit of Mt. Silver, the player may battle Red. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Moltres can also be found here.

A field based on Mt. Silver also appears in Pokémon Stadium 2's Kanto Gym Leader Castle.
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 is rough, though no HMs are explicitly required to reach the Pokémon Center just outside the entrance. 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.
The cave has only one entrance, unlike all other caves found in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, but goes deep into the mountain. In the cave's final room, the player will encounter Red, who will wordlessly challenge the player to what is the highest-leveled Trainer battle in the Pokémon series.
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Mt. Silver is much larger than before. Flash is no longer needed to light up the cave. The higher sections of the cave, where Red is located, require Rock Climb to be accessible. At times, the player must also venture onto the slopes on the mountain's sides in order to climb higher. In addition, a heavy snowfall is present at the summit, which assumes the hail weather condition in battle; this weather becomes diamond dust on certain days, which disables the hail weather condition in battle.

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.
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 Braggo and his gang.
In Pop Goes The Sneasel, the group stopped off at the local Ho-Oh Shrine after the attendant reported a Sneasel, Machop, and Machoke were stopping anyone from reaching the Sacred Flame, which was needed for the opening 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.
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.
In the manga

Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter
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 chapter. 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 chapter, Red and Gold went to Mt. Silver to train together. Their training session was seen in two special rounds printed in Pokémon the Comic, during which they battled against a wild Poliwrath and Venusaur.
HeartGold & SoulSilver chapter
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

Jō 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

- In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the exterior of Mt. Silver is the only Johto area with Kanto characteristics, like the rocks, tall grass, trees, and the Pokémon Center itself. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, 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.
- 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 Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. This issue was not present in the map of Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, which placed it directly above New Bark Town.
- Red's Pikachu, who can be fought here at level 88 in HeartGold and SoulSilver, is the highest-leveled Pokémon of any in-game Trainer not in a battle facility in the core series.
- In the original player's guide for Pokémon 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 the Generation I games that did not appear in Gold and Silver (which were programmed in and tradable from Generation I anyway).
- Like Snowpoint City, Mt. Silver's summit features diamond dust on certain special days in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, including the anniversary of the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver in Japan.
- Mt. Silver is also the only location in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver where a naturally occurring hailstorm can be experienced.
- In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, whenever the player is in or on the mountain, the location header pop-up is always "Mt. Silver Cave", even when the player is not inside the cave. This may possibly be a carryover from the original games, in which the in-game location header was "Silver Cave".
- The lady inside the Pokémon Center in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, which was the only NPC present (other than the Pokémon Center Nurse), is absent in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
- Mt. Silver was called Shirogane Mt. in the Gold and Silver deluxe edition of the Pokémon Master Trainer board game. Because its release predated that of the games, it used the Japanese name.
- Fresh Water is collected from Mt. Silver, according to the Japanese item description in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, and Stadium. This is also mentioned in the Korean item description in Pokémon Gold and Silver. However, this is not mentioned in the English item descriptions.
