Sauna Cavern

Sauna Cavern, also called Sauna or SC by players, is a dungeon located in Winden containing the HM Rock Smash. Proceeding further into the dungeon will eventually lead players to Sauna Cavern Depths. The boss of the dungeon is Rhydon.

Sauna Cavern initially hosts a variety of different types of Pokémon, but boasts Fire- and Rock-type Pokémon the further players are in the dungeon. The weather on the upper floors of Sauna Cavern will start being sunny due to Torkoal's Drought.

The water tiles scattered across the floor will burn any non Fire-type Pokémon that isn't immune. On 15, the majority of the water tiles have receded, indicating that the dungeon is getting extremely hot at this floor onward. Starting on Floor 16, instead of water, there is lava, which is much more common than the water on previous floors.
