Dugtrio's Cave¶
A Ground themed dungeon, dungeon 4 of 35 in the progression. Entry consumes a Dugtrio's Cave Dungeon Key and requires Dungeoneering level 7, after clearing Lost Forest.

Getting the key¶
Wild Pokemon that drop Ground dust have a 1 in 10 chance to convert that dust into a Dugtrio's Cave Dungeon Key, provided your Dungeoneering level is at least 7 (too low and the roll still eats the dust). Wild legendaries, mythicals, and Ultra Beasts dropping Ground dust always pay the key, no roll, no level check.
Boss¶
One boss is chosen at random from this pool each run.
| Pokemon | Level |
|---|---|
| 14 | |

| 14 |
The boss gives triple battle experience, guards the boss chest, and has a 2% recruit chance (5% with /frozencrystal).
Mini-bosses¶
8 mini-boss statues, level 10, each drawn from this pool:
![]()
Each mini-boss has a 10% recruit chance (30% with /frozencrystal).
Chests¶
3 mini-chests sit at fixed spots through the dungeon, plus one boss chest behind the boss. Each mini-chest is lootable once per run per player (a Moon Key re-opens each one once for a second roll) and holds 1 to 4 items from the Tier 1 pool below. Your first mini-chest of the run also guarantees a Potion. The boss chest unlocks when the boss falls and rolls a rarity from Common to Supreme that sets its item count and its chance to upgrade rolls into the Tier 2 and Tier 3 pools. See Dungeon Items and Drops for the rarity table.
Experience¶
Completing the dungeon pays 450 Dungeoneering XP, multiplied by the number of mini-chests you looted that run (minimum x1). Holding a Dojo Trophy adds 3%, and Double XP events multiply on top.
| XP | |
|---|---|
| Minimum (no mini-chests) | 450 |
| Maximum (all 3 mini-chests) | 1,350 |
