Petalburg Woods is home to many bug type Pokemon, so bring some flying type pokémon, like {{bp|Taillow}} or {{bp|Wingull}}. Here is also a good place to level your {{bp|Torchic}}, so that it becomes a {{bp|Combusken}} before the first gym. Bring some potions, as the forest is full of pokémon. If you have not chosen {{bp|Treecko}} as your starter, it is recommended to catch a {{bp|Shroomish}}, as [[../Rustboro City/]]'s gym is weak to Grass type attacks. {{bp|Slakoth}} also appears in the grass patches, and can become an extremely valuable member of your team if you choose to evolve it into a {{bp|Slaking}} at level 36.

Eventually, you will see a man who is looking for a Shroomish. After he talks to you, a Team Grunt appears and attacks him. You will have to rescue the man by defeating the guy attacking him.

==Return to the Forest==
Come back after having obtained the HM {{bpm|Cut}} to access the rest of the forest. A girl will give you a {{bpi|Miracle Seed}}, an item that when held by a Pokémon, increases the power of grass type moves - considering the sheer quantity of water routes and Pokémon in these games, this will come in handy. You can also find a {{bpi|Great Ball}} and an {{bpi|X Attack}}, as well as two {{bpi|Tiny Mushroom}}s hidden in the area.

| [[File:Pokemon_285Shroomish.png|left]] This is the second Grass Pokémon that you'll find in the game, reminiscent of {{bp|Oddish}} and {{bp|Bellsprout}} from [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|Firered and Leafgreen]] and the [[Pokémon Red|Red]] and [[Pokémon Blue|Blue]] Versions, but this guy takes its roots more from Oddish. It starts off with Absorb and learns Tackle at level 4. However, when it Evolves at level 23 into a {{bp|Breloom}} it becomes a Grass/Fighter Pokemon. Breloom learns good fighting moves later on. So it is a better middle to late game pokemon than an early game Pokemon. You may however, want to keep it on your team, if you don't have a {{bp|Treecko}} as your starter. This is also the only area in the game where you can catch one.

But for any Normal pokemon right now, go with {{bp|Zigzagoon}} instead.
