Pokémon world locations

Eterna Forest (Japanese: ハクタイのもり Hakutai Forest) is a forest located in the Sinnoh region. It must be traversed in order to reach Eterna City when traveling from Jubilife City.

Located in the middle of Route 205, Eterna Forest is similar to Kanto's Viridian Forest. It is a forest enveloped in chilly air. Thick stands of trees turn the forest into a natural maze. Eterna Forest is home to many Bug- and Grass-type Pokémon, and is currently the only place in the Pokémon world to catch Buneary, and one of the only two places in Sinnoh to catch Murkrow (Diamond only) and Misdreavus (Pearl only), the other place being Lost Tower.

A mossy rock can be found on the far west side. It facilitates the evolution of Eevee into Leafeon.

Geography

Old Chateau

Main article: Old Chateau

The Old Chateau is located in the north of Eterna Forest. To gain access to it, the player needs HM01 (Cut), which can only be used after defeating Gardenia in Eterna City. The Pokémon Rotom can be caught in the room with the television at night.

Cheryl

When the player first enters the forest, Cheryl will be waiting, and ask the player if he or she will accompany her through the forest, fearing Team Galactic's possible interference. After this, all battles in Eterna Forest will be double battles, including encounters with wild Pokémon. Her company is very useful - after every battle, Cheryl will completely heal the player's party. However, during battles with wild Pokémon a little problem appears: the player can throw a Poké Ball only when there is one Pokémon left, and thus Chansey's Egg Bomb may accidentally knock out the Pokémon the player wants to catch. In Pokémon Platinum, she gives the player a Soothe Bell as a parting gift.

Moss Rock

Moss Rock

Main article: Moss Rock

A mossy rock is located on the far west side of the forest. It emits a kind of radiation, which extends to cover the entire forest. This causes Eevee to evolve into Leafeon when leveled up within the forest's boundaries.

Additional path

Once HM01 (Cut) is able to be used outside of battle, players may take a shortcut around the forest. This area has a honey tree, a patch of loamy soil, and provides quick access between Eterna City and Route 205.

Trainer Tips

Trainer Tips!
In forests and caves, there are many
items on the ground that cannot be
seen in the murky darkness.
Take the time to search carefully!

Trivia

• Eterna Forest is known within the games as "the place where time stands still". As such, it is impossible to evolve Eevee into either of its time-based evolutions, Espeon and Umbreon. Similarly to Route 217, Eevee will only evolve into Leafeon here, due to the presence of the Moss Rock.
  • However, the light does change during the day (from morning to day, day to evening, evening to night, night to morning.)
• A Bug Catcher in front of Eterna Forest will say there are lots of Template:Type2 Pokémon found there. However, only four Poison-type Pokémon can caught there, one of which can only be obtained by Dual-slot mode (Weedle) and another which does not learn any Poison-type moves via leveling up (Gastly).
  • Additionally, all Poison-type Pokémon found here are dual-types with Poison as their secondary type.
