'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Hoenn]] forest that splits [[Route 104]] into two halves. Going north, the path appears to zig-zag, but going south, there are ledges that allows reaching the other end quickly. The forest is notable for its gatherable mushrooms, which result in a quick gain of money.

An eastern part is blocked off by [[Cut]] trees. In that area is located the entrance to [[Petalburg Maze]], the [[Hoenn]] equivalent of the [[Viridian Maze]], although it will be of little interest to beginners in the region.

==Notable miscellanies== 
===Maqua encounter===
A Magma grunt will be blocking the path just like in the original games, which must be fought in order to pass. However, upon defeating her, she will call reinforcement, and next will be an Aqua grunt that must be fought, revealing cooperation between the two groups.

After defeating both of them, the scientist will reward the player with a [[Great Ball]] and leave.

===Mushrooms===
Scattered around the forest are a total of 8 mushrooms that can be harvested. These look like normal mushrooms, with the difference that they cannot be stepped on. Each mushroom will reward the player with a random amount of between 1 and 6 [[Tiny Mushroom|Tiny Mushrooms]], making it an excellent location for a quick gain of money.

Each mushroom will have a Cooldown of 14 days. However, if the player has a [[Paras]] or a [[Parasect]] and chooses 
to harvest the mushrooms using them, will boost the amount you get next time.

===[[Gunk Shot]] Tutor===
A [[Move Tutors|Move Tutor]] for the move [[Gunk Shot]] is located directly east of the northern exit, beyond the [[Cut]] trees. He will teach the move to any compatible Pokémon for the price of {{Pdollar}}9,000.

===[[Petalburg Maze]]===
Just like the [[Viridian Forest]], Petalburg Forest also has its own maze. Its entrance is on the eastern side, which will require [[Cut]] to reach. The maze itself being in the dark, bringing [[Flash]] is also recommended.

The maze is however of very little interest for a beginner in the [[Hoenn]] region; its rewards include [[Berries#EV-reductive berries|EV-reducing berries]] and one of the possible locations of [[Latios]].
