Petalburg Woods

Petalburg Woods (Japanese: トウカのもり Tōka Woods) is a forest that connects Petalburg City to Rustboro City.

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the first time the player goes through Petalburg Woods, he or she is attacked by a member of Team Aqua or Team Magma. The member intends to steal some papers from a man in the woods. The man turns to the player for help, and he or she battles the member and his Poochyena. After the member is defeated, the man will thank them by giving away a Great Ball.

Trainer Tips

• Any Pokémon that appears even once in a battle is awarded EXP Points. To raise a weak Pokémon, put it at the left of the team list. As soon as a battle starts, switch it out. It will earn EXP. Points without being exposed to any harm.
• In addition to Hit Points (HP), Pokémon have Power Points (PP) that are used to make moves during battle. If a Pokémon runs out of PP, it must be taken to a Pokémon Center.
