In the original Japanese release of {{game|Crystal}}, a Celebi can be caught at the shrine. The [[Mobile System GB]] held special events in 2001, which allowed {{player}}s to obtain the [[GS Ball]] from a [[Pokémon Center Nurse]] in the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] in [[Goldenrod City]]. The GS Ball may then be taken to [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] for him to investigate. After a day passes, taking the GS Ball to the Ilex Forest shrine summons a [[level]] 30 Celebi. The player then has the opportunity to capture the {{2t|Psychic|Grass}} Pokémon.

The shrine appears in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|the remakes of Gold and Silver}}, in the same location as in [[Generation II]], in the [[Ilex Forest]]. [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] will appear at the Ilex Forest shrine and will join the player's party if the player approaches it with the {{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu}}. A {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} evolved from this Pichu will also activate the event.

If the shrine is approached with a promotional event {{p|Celebi}} as the partner Pokémon, Celebi will take the player and their friend back in time - first to see Giovanni leave his son Silver after being defeated in Kanto, and then further ahead in time to battle and defeat Giovanni to prevent him from reuniting with Team Rocket during their takeover of the Goldenrod Radio Tower.

Although the shrine seen in ''Celebi: The Voice of the Forest'' wasn't the same Ilex Forest shrine, it does contain the same qualities. It is found in the deepest part of the forest, and many people say that the shrine is linked to the Mythical Pokémon, Celebi, who supposedly lives inside the forest shrine, as the forest guardian. The shrine was first seen when [[Sam]] ran into it before {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} transported him into the future, and it reappeared as Sam arrived into the future.

In ''Celebi and Joy!'', [[Ritchie]] and [[Sparky]] saved a young [[Nurse Joy]] hanging from a cliff with some help from her {{p|Rapidash}}. Joy explained that she saw some flowers that she wanted to pick for Celebi when she fell. She then explained the legends that say that a Celebi lives in this forest, and she believed it was true. To prove it, she showed them a shrine that was put up in the forest a long time ago. Later that night, during a thunderstorm, [[Nick's father]] was informed that Joy ran into the forest. As Ritchie and {{OBP|Nick|HS13}} headed out to look for Joy, they found her unconscious near the shrine. As a fire raged near them, a Celebi appeared and protected them from the danger.

The shrine reappeared during the climax of the chapter, where [[Pryce]] successfully used the [[GS Ball]] he had just finished crafting to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{adv|Celebi}} as it emerged from the shrine, allowing him to travel back in time through the crack of time inside the shrine. Gold pursued Pryce into the time stream and succeeded in destroying the GS Ball with [[Pibu]], setting Celebi free. Pryce was then left floating in the crack of time while Gold escaped.

===={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====

The shrine reappeared in a flashback in ''[[PS458|All About Arceus VII]]'', where Pryce told how Celebi had freed him from the crack of time to stop a disaster he had foreseen while floating in the time stream. {{adv|Giovanni}}, who had also arrived at the shrine to seek Celebi's help in curing his long-time illness, attacked Pryce on sight, but [[Lance]] arrived just in time to prevent the situation from escalating.

* It resembles a {{wp|hokora}}, a small {{wp|Shinto shrine}}, and is referred to as one in the original Japanese version.

* There are also two other shrines in the [[core series]]: one is located in [[Celestic Town]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and the other is located on Route 14 in {{game|Black and White|s}} called [[Abundant Shrine]], in which the player can find {{p|Landorus}}.
