Chat to Burgh and you’ll be instructed to check the left hand path for signs of Plasma-like activity. There are plenty of trainers to fight here, but it’s impossible to get lost on this linear path so follow it and squash all that would try and stop you.

Follow the path and fight…

Double Battle: Twins

Double battles are a little tougher but you should still have no issues here. Use a Fire type for extra damage.

"Sandile" IconSandile 16 Ground/Dark

Trainer Battle: Team Plasma Grunt

Pokemon Level Type
"Purrloin" IconPurrloin 16 Dark

It’s unlikely you have an Eevee, but when have one, return here to evolve it into Leafeon.

Continue to the left and find a Super Potion . It is possible to avoid the Youngster here with good timing, but all experience is good experience at the end of the day…

Trainer Battle: Youngster

Pokemon Level Type
"Venipede" IconVenipede 16 Bug/Poison

Skirt around the grunt and take the hollow trunk down and follow the path right till you see another tree trunk, a Pokémon Ranger waits in the bush in front of it.

Trainer Battle: Pokémon Ranger

Pokemon Level Type
"Pansear" IconPansear 18 Fire

Continue north through the trunk to face the final Team Plasma Grunt.

Trainer Battle: Team Plasma Grunt

Another Grunt stands before you. The Sandile is the tougher Pokemon here but shouldn’t be much of an issue.

Pokemon Level Type
"Patrat" IconPatrat 14 Normal
"Patrat" IconPatrat 14 Normal
"Sandile" IconSandile 14 Ground/Dark

Win the fight and watch the following scene, you’ll receive a Moon Stone for your troubles. Head right, grab the item along your way, then hop right over the ledge.

From here, make your way north past the Hiker to exit the forest. If you want, you can turn around and go south instead, back towards the forest entrance, to fight a bunch of trainers along the road.

In any case, once you’ve exited the forest north, enjoy the genuinely impressive view. And when you’re done appreciating the scene head out onto…
