Petalburg Woods is a Hoenn forest that splits Route 104 into two halves. Going north, the path appears to zig-zag, but going south, there are ledges that allow reaching the other end quickly. The forest is notable for its gatherable mushrooms, which result in a quick gain of money.

An eastern part is blocked off by Cut trees. In that area is located the entrance to Petalburg Maze, the Hoenn equivalent of the Viridian Maze, although it will be of little interest to beginners in the region.

Notable miscellanies

Maqua encounter

A Magma grunt will be blocking the path just like in the original games, which must be fought in order to pass. However, upon defeating her, she will call a reinforcement, and next will be an Aqua grunt that must be fought, revealing cooperation between the two groups.

After defeating both of them, the scientist will reward the player with a Great Ball and leave.

Mushrooms

Scattered around the forest are a total of 8 mushrooms that can be harvested. These look like normal mushrooms, with the difference that they cannot be stepped on. Each mushroom will reward the player with a random amount of between 1 and 6 Tiny Mushrooms, making it an excellent location for a quick gain of money.

Each mushroom will have a Cooldown of 14 days. However, if the player has a Paras or a Parasect and chooses
to harvest the mushrooms using them, will boost the amount you get next time.

Gunk Shot Tutor

A Move Tutor for the move Gunk Shot is located directly east of the northern exit, beyond the Cut trees. He will teach the move to any compatible Pokémon for the price of 9,000.

Petalburg Maze

Just like the Viridian Forest, Petalburg Forest also has its own maze. Its entrance is on the eastern side, which will require Cut to reach. The maze itself being in the dark, bringing Flash is also recommended.

The maze is however of very little interest for a beginner in the Hoenn region; its rewards include EV-reducing berries and one of the possible locations of Latios.
