Where To Get The BlackGlasses in Pokémon HGSS

The only pair of BlackGlasses available in HeartGold/SoulSilver can be found in Dark Cave. You’ll need at least 7 Gym Badges to reach the part of the cave where they’re found. You’ll also need to bring a Pokémon with Surf, and one with Flash if you want to be able to see inside the cave.

Any Pokémon holding the BlackGlasses will have their Dark-Type moves boosted in power by 20%.

BlackGlasses Location (Step-by-Step)

Start by flying to Blackthorn City, then take the south exit onto Route 45.

Step 1: From there, head south and take the first left turn.

Walk across the bridge and you’ll come to the entrance of Dark Cave.

Step 2: Head inside Dark Cave and light up your surroundings with Flash.

Step 3: Walk to the left and take the first two sets of stairs you encounter (pictured below).

Step 4: Shortly to the south of the second set of stairs, you’ll see a body of water. Surf on it.

Step 5: Surf around to the left and dismount your Pokémon on the first patch of dry land you see, pictured below.

Step 6: Follow the one-way path up north for some time until you come to an intersection. You need to take the left path here, up a small staircase.

Step 7: Follow this path around and, before long, you’ll see a man wearing sunglasses.

Talk to him and he’ll make some fairly suspicious comments, and then bribe you with a pair of BlackGlasses to forget you ever saw him. Seems fair enough.
