Eterna Forest (Japanese: ハクタイのもり Hakutai Forest) is a forest that one must travel through to get to Eterna City. Located on Route 205 is similar to Viridian Forest. It is a forest enveloped in chilly air. Thick stands of trees turn the forest into a natural maze. There is a mossy rock on the far west side. If an Eevee is leveled up within the forest, it evolves into Leafeon. Eterna Forest is home to many Bug/Grass types, and 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.

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 initially enters the forest, Cheryl will come up to the trainer and talk about Team Galactic, the criminal organization of Sinnoh. Presently, Cheryl will request to accompany the trainer through the forest. Subsequently, 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 Pokemon Platinum, she gives the Player a Soothe Bell as a parting gift.

Trainer Tips

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.
