Platinum Eterna Forest
Mist hangs over Eterna Forest, where the trainer Cheryl walks at your side through back-to-back double battles. The haunted Old Chateau stands abandoned at the far end.
Eterna Forest is in Sinnoh, with Old Chateau to the north. In the story you arrive from Route 205 to the south and it comes before Eterna City.
ETERNA FOREST MAP
The forest bridges the gap where Route 205 picks up again on the far side, a green shortcut you cross on the way north. Cut reaches a few side nooks, though nothing on the through-route asks for a hidden move.
Pokemon Encounters
Slakoth lazes through the grass at 40 percent here, a catch found nowhere else in Sinnoh. Budew joins it by day, and a Pokeradar chain coaxes out Nincada at 22 percent for a future Ninjask or Shedinja.
