This large, shadowy forest is a natural maze.  It has become so overgrown in recent years that a handful of new trees have sprouted up, but one has grown in the most inconvenient spot, blocking the path past the Ilex Shrine.  Without {{HM|01|Cut}}, no Trainers can make it through the hardy forest.

=== Rescue the wily Farfetch'd ===

This short route connects [[Ilex Forest]] and [[Goldenrod City]], but one of the most important areas is located here.  The [[Pokémon Daycare]], like its counterpart on Kanto's Route 5, allows Trainers to leave their Pokémon to be raised by an elderly man.  Any Pokémon left here will gain 1 [[EXP]] for every step you take.  However, the Johto Daycare accepts up to two Pokémon to raise at once.  If both a male and female are left together, you may return to find that the old couple has found an [[Pokémon Egg|egg]].  Keep the egg in your party like you did with Mr. Pokémon's {{p|Togepi}}, and it will hatch a few hours later.  This is the only way to get more members of a certain species (like {{p|Eevee}}) and new "baby" Pokémon (like {{p|Pichu}})!  If you don't have a compatible male-female pair, than track down a {{p|Ditto}} - that shapeshifting blob can mate with almost anything. <br><br> Head north to reach Johto's tech-mecca, [[Goldenrod City]].

Return to Route 34 once you can {{m|surf}}.  Swim south from the Daycare to find a small path leading into the trees.  A trio of Cooltrainers challenges you, and defeating all three gets you a {{DL|Type-enhancing held item|Soft Sand}}, which strengthens {{t|Ground}}-type moves.
