{{Area|Type=Forest|Region=Kanto|BerryTrees=4|BattleNPCs=8|HeadbuttTrees=23|LandLevels=6|Items=2|North=Route 2|South=Route 2}}

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Kanto]] area that's interlocated between [[Viridian City]] and [[Pewter City]].

As a subsegment of [[Route 2]], it is intraposed in the middle of it and thus accessible therein. The sprawling forest is impassable en route to the succesionally first Kanto Gym in [[Pewter City]]; however, once [[Cut]] has been acquired, this area will be bypassable through the right segment of Route 2.

This is considered the most potent overall pre-Brock training area for wild Pokémon, and it is considered a viable hunting grounds for lineup-preparative construction for the Gym, too, as it is inhabited by a [[Grass_(type)|Grass]]-type Pokémon in [[Budew]] to effectively deploy against him.

==Points of Interest==
===Viridian Maze===
{{Main|Viridian Maze}}

Northwards of the [[Cheri Berry]]-tree allotment in the northwestern pathway winding from the southern terminus, Viridian Maze can be entered from the underbrush.

As a tortuous maze subjoined to the forest, more commodities are rewardable here; this includes an [[Abandoned Pokémon|abandoned-Pokémon]] Pokéball (it will yield either [[Growlithe]], [[Horsea]], or [[Bellsprout]]—all at equalized odds), [[Berries#EV-reductive berries|EV-reductive]] berry-tree allotments, and Kanto's [[Headbutt|Headbutt move tutor]].
===Stolen Pidgey mini-quest===
Speak to Jerry nearby the [[Cheri Berry]]-tree allotment; he will apprise you that his [[Pidgey]] has been abducted by a Team Rocket agent who ran off into [[Viridian Maze]], and he will purvey a free [[Escape Rope]] to you should you need it to expeditiously exit the maze.

After entering Viridian Maze, snake your way westwards to the Team Rocket grunt, who will challenge you to a battle; contingent upon winning, he will disappear and relinquish the Pidgey, who will fly back to its rightful owner.

15 Pokéballs will be reaped from Jerry for the deed, thereby supplementing your inventory with a batch of free Pokéballs while hunting for Pokémon early on.

===[[Honey Tree]]===
{{Main|Honey Tree}}
The Honey Tree in Viridian Forest is located in the north-east portion of Viridian Forest. By spreading [[Honey]] onto the tree, a random wild Pokémon will appear, and the tree will enter a cooldown of 24 hours. This Honey Tree is categorized as a Bug tree; spreading Honey to multiple Bug Honey Trees in a row will reward with stronger [[Bug (type)|Bug]] type Pokémon.
