In order to tactically return the runaway Farfetch'd to its owner, the player must corner it and lead it into the direction of the owner. In Generation II, the player needs to use the forest's layout to chase it back, using a looped path on the far eastern side, as well as a ledged area. The Farfetch'd will run away and allow the player to return them after the player defeats the rival in Azalea Town. When the player enters the forest, the only way to proceed through the next section of the forest is to return runaway Farfetch'd for the charcoal maker's son, thus receiving HM01 ( Cut) as a reward, allowing the player to clear the path from a cuttable tree. Travelers can enter at either end with no trouble at all, but to pass through to the other side they must be able to use the move Cut outside of battle. Ilex Forest is a winding path through dense trees connecting Azalea Town and Route 34.
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Shrine also may initiate a special event in which Celebi will take the player back in time and allow them to battle Giovanni. Though the GS Ball was never distributed as an event item outside of Japan, the Virtual Console release of Crystal allows it to be obtained in all regions through normal gameplay. In Pokémon Crystal, if Kurt has already examined the GS Ball, placing it in the shrine will cause a level 30 Celebi to face the player. There is a shrine for the guardian of the forest, Celebi.
The forest's trees are so close together that all light is blocked out, and in Generation II, the forest seems to be in a perpetual night. Ilex Forest (Japanese: ウバメの 森 Ubame Forest) is a dense forest located in southern Johto, directly west of Azalea Town.
