A lush jungle city, almost every building in Fortree are treehouses, with the exception of the Gym and the Pokémon Center and PokéMart. There's a decent chunk of activities to do here, but the only mandatory one for main story progress is the Gym.

Fortree Activities

The Houses

In one of the houses, there is a woman who will give the player TM10 Hidden Power if the player guesses which hand she's holding a coin in three times. (The correct answers are Left Left Right). In Pokémon Emerald only, there is also an old man who will teach a compatible Pokémon the move Sleep Talk. This is a single-time event, so choose who you want to teach it to carefully!

Trade Opportunities

There is a boy in one of the houses, who is willing to trade Pokémon with you. The Pokémon he wants and will exchange are different in Ruby & Sapphire compared to Emerald, so they'll be listed here:

  • In Ruby and Sapphire, he will ask for a Pikachu in exchange for a Skitty. Note that you can get a Pikachu in the Safari Zone if desired.
  • In Emerald he will offer you a Plusle for your Volbeat. Note that you can get a Volbeat in the Route 117 and a Plusle in Route 110 if desired.

The Furniture Shop

In the south-eastern corner of Fortree is a furniture shop, that sells items to decorate your secret base with. There's two counters inside; the one on the left sells desk s and the one on the right sells chair s.

Fortree Gym (1st Visit)

When you try to access Fortree Gym for the first time, you'll quickly realise that you can't walk down into the Gym's clearing. Fear not, for this isn't a glitch, but instead a barrier that will be revealed upon collecting the Devon Scope on Route 120. The guide continues there, so come back to this page upon collecting it.

Battling Winona

Winona has a mixed bag of birds, so just an Electric or Rock Pokémon can't beat her. Roast Skarmory with a fire type attack. Ice Beam alone won't work since Skarmory and Pelipper are not weak against Ice type.

The biggest ordeal is Altaria, which is not weak to electricity. Remember that Altaria usually uses the Dragon Dance move twice before using its deadly Earthquake. So send out a bird at the right time and it will survive the quake. Winona will keep feeding it Hyper Potions to prolong the battle, but she is unlikely to cure any status problems. So, poison or burn Altaria and the Gym will surrender.

  • Note: Sometimes, Altaria will use Earthquake before the two Dragon Dances. And now, there are five bird type Pokémon to beat from Gym Leader Winona.
