There isn't much you can do in the Dark Cave at first, so you might as well push on to Violet City. You will only have access to one room right now and it's pitch black. One of the most noticable things is that this is the first place in the game to ge your hands on a Zubat, which isn't great on it's own but with a little love and leveling, you can quickly get a very strong Crobat.

To get any further into the cave, you'll need to teach a Pokémon Flash to light up the cave for you to explore, and a Pokémon that knows Rock Smash, Strength and Surf to enable you to get past certain obstacles. You won't have either yet, so you should leave this cave for later on when you can make more headway in it.

When you do eventually return to Dark Cave, there are a couple of items that are worth scooping up. The Black Glasses, given to you by a man close o the Blackthorn exit/entrance can power up all manner of dark-type moves such as Bite, Crunch, Dark Pulse and Feint Attack.
