Ilex Forest (Japanese: ウバメのもり Ubame Forest) is a dense forest located in southern Johto, directly west of Azalea Town. The forest's trees are so close together that all light is blocked out, and the forest seems to be in a perpetual night.
There is a Shrine for the guardian of the forest, Celebi. In Pokémon Crystal, if Kurt has already examined the GS Ball, placing it in the shrine will cause a level 30 Celebi to face the player; however, the GS Ball was never distributed to non-Japanese games. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Shrine also may initiate a special event in which Celebi will take the player back in time.
Geography
Ilex Forest is a winding path through dense trees connecting Azalea Town and Route 34. There are many patches of long grass on the ground where low-leveled Pokémon can be found. Travelers can enter at either end with no trouble at all, but to pass through to the other side they must be able to use the move Cut outside of battle.
Cut
When the player enters the forest, the only way to proceed through the next section of the forest is to return a runaway Farfetch'd for the regional cutting master's son, thus receiving HM01 (Cut) as a reward, allowing the player to clear the path from a cuttable tree.
In Generation II, this is done by using the forest's layout to chase it back, using a looped path on the far eastern side, as well as a ledged area. In order to tactically return the runaway Farfetch'd to its owner, the player must corner it and lead it into the direction of the owner.
In Generation IV, there are two Farfetch'd and each needs to be approached while they are facing the other way. The player can do this by walking over sticks and, by doing so, causing them to rustle. This grabs the Farfetch'd's attention and, if no other sticks are rustled, may allow them to be approached from behind. Once the Farfetch'd are returned, the player will receive HM01 (Cut).
Headbutt
In the center of the forest is a man who, in Generation II, will hand out TM02 (Headbutt). Using Headbutt on one of the trees in the forest can sometimes yield a wild Pokémon, which Trainers may wish to capture.
In Generation IV, as Headbutt is no longer a TM, the man is instead a Move Tutor who will teach Headbutt for free an unlimited number of times. Now all trees in all locations can be Headbutted, but not all will yield a Pokémon.
Ilex Forest Shrine
- Main article: Ilex Forest shrine
The shrine is a small structure located in the Ilex Forest. It is used in obtaining two event-exclusive Pokémon. It can be found in the deepest part of Ilex Forest, situated right in the center of the forest itself.
Players of Japanese versions of Pokémon Crystal can place the GS Ball on the shrine, to make a level 30 Celebi appear. The player then has the opportunity to capture the Psychic/Grass Pokémon.
Players of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver are able to unlock a special Pichu here, Spiky-eared Pichu. This Pichu is unique from others as it has a different pattern on one of its ears. If the shrine is approached with a promotional event Celebi as the partner Pokémon, Celebi will take the player back in time—in which they witness the secret to Silver's past, and in which they battle his father, Giovanni the boss of Team Rocket, in Tohjo Falls, before he responds to the hijacked Goldenrod Radio Tower's broadcast pleading for his return.

In the anime
Ilex Forest shrine in the anime
Ilex Forest appeared in a number of episodes in the anime, as Ash and his friends traveled from Azalea Town to Goldenrod City. The first episode it was seen in was A Farfetch'd Tale, where Ash encounters the shrine dedicated to the forest's protector. He would later revisit the shrine—or perhaps one of many different shrines—in Pokémon 4Ever. Ash's Noctowl was caught within the forest in Fowl Play!, one of the final episodes set here.
The forest is much larger in the anime than the games, which is why it was the setting for so many episodes. People are shown to be living in it, and there are small villages scattered throughout, and even a Pokémon Center.
Name origin
"Ubame" comes from ウバメガシ ubamegashi, Ubame oak (Quercus phillyraeoides), a species of tree used to make binchōtan charcoal.
"Ilex" is the genus of holly. Considering its Japanese name, it may also be derived from Quercus ilex, the holm oak or holly oak, another tree commonly used in charcoal manufacture.
Trivia
- It is the only forest where wild Pokémon appear without any tall grass.
- In the Generation II games, the in-game maps made it appear that a route existed between Azalea Town and Ilex Forest, despite players entering the forest immediately after leaving the town. This was corrected for the in-game maps in Generation IV.
