'''Forina''' (Japanese: '''ファウンス''' ''Fauns'') is an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive canyonous valley in central [[Hoenn]].  It is characterized by scrubs, pillar-like rock formations, and powerful and rare [[wild Pokémon]] like {{p|Flygon}} and {{p|Absol}}. The caverns beneath the valley are where the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Jirachi}} hibernates for a millennium between the periods when it is awakened by a comet for seven days. Jirachi is also said to give off the energy it gained slowly over the 100-year period, which means that it was Jirachi who helped to create Forina.  It is only seen in the movie ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. According to promotional posters, it is located immediately west of [[Mt. Chimney]].
