String Forest
String Forest is covered in hail on the player's first visit, with most item chests frozen shut; its swamps are toxic and can poison Pokémon if the player lingers. The hail and chest-freezing clear after defeating or capturing the boss Galvantula X at the forest's southern end.
How to Reach It
Connected to the north with Stellato Town, south with Route 6, and east with Murky Swamp.

Story Relevance
The Galvantula X boss battle and the hail/toxic-swamp gimmick are the forest's central set piece; trainers only return to the forest after the hail clears.
