Viridian Forest (Japanese: トキワのもり Tokiwa Forest) lies between Viridian City and Pewter City. The trees in the forest are so thick that little light gets in. It is full of Bug- and Flying-type Pokémon. A natural maze, many people become lost inside.

Trainer Tips
Fire Red/Leaf Green
・Weaken Pokémon before attempting capture! When healthy, they may escape!
・If your Pokémon are weak and you want to avoid battles, stay away from grassy areas!
・Contact Prof. Oak via a PC to get your Pokédex evaluated!
・You can't catch a Pokémon that belongs to someone else. Throw Poké Balls only at wild Pokémon to catch them!
In the Pokémon Special manga
Many important people were born here, including Lance, Giovanni and Yellow. It is said that people born in the Viridian Forest are given special powers. Lance and Yellow both share the power to heal Pokémon using physical touch as well as read the minds of Pokémon. Yellow can also move inanimate objects, namely Poké Balls, as well as raise her Pokémon's levels using the power of the Viridian Forest. (Although this power seems involuntary.) Giovanni has yet to display any special powers.
The forest is first visited in The Secret of Kangaskhan (Red, Green & Blue chapter) by Red and Green. In their search for Pokémon, they encounters a wild Kangaskhan and its baby.
