Fortree City

Fortree is a unique city which features treehouse residences connected by rope bridges. There are many useful optional places to visit, especially if you’re actively using your Secret Base.

If you’re eager to challenge the Gym right away, you’ll have to clear out the invisible object blocking the path to the Gym. To do this, head to the east side of the city, where you’ll encounter Steven once again.

Currently Obtainable Items

In-Game Trade in Fortree City

In the treehouse near the Pokémon Center, you can trade your Spinda for a Skitty.

Hidden Power House

Inside the house to the right of the trader searching for a Spinda, you’ll find an elderly woman who will give you TM10 Hidden Power. To obtain the TM you just need to win her coin game.

Talk to the elderly woman on the left. She will ask you to guess which hand she’s holding the coin three times in a row. The correct pattern is always the same:

1. Right Hand
2. Right Hand
3. Left Hand

After three correct guesses in a row, you’ll receive TM10 Hidden Power from her.

The Hidden Power Checker

In the same house as where you get TM10, you’ll also find the Hidden Power Checker NPC.

The Hidden Power Checker can reveal the specific type of your Pokémon’s Hidden Power, a move that varies in type based on your Pokémon’s individual values (IVs).

Simply talk to the woman on the right, and select a Pokémon from your party. She’ll tell you its Hidden Power type.

Secret Base Guild

You can find the Secret Base Guild inside the southeast treehouse of Fortree City. Inside, you can find Aarune, the Secret Base Expert.

Secret Base Expert Aarune

Upon your initial visit, Aarune will greet you and welcome you to the Secret Base Guild, presenting you with a “Proclamation” for your Secret Base. Then, each time you talk to Aarune, you’ll have two options:

Option 1: “Let’s see those flags.”

Aarune will check how many flags you and your team have collected for the Capture the Flag feature in Secret Bases. The greater the number of flags your team has, the higher your Secret Base Rank becomes. Accumulating flags also grants you to the following rewards:

Rank	Flags Required	Reward
Normal	0 Flags	Proclamation Decoration
Bronze	30 Flags	Blackboard Decoration
Silver	100 Flags	Jukebox Decoration
Gold	500 Flags	Mood Lighting Decoration
Platinum	1000 Flags	Garchompite and Confetti Ball Decoration

Option 2: “Let’s have a battle!”

If you challenge Aarune, he’ll gladly accept and battle you in a Single Battle. His team will improve when you enter the Hall of Fame, but for now, he’ll battle you with a Flygon:

Secret Base Expert Aarune
Pokémon	Flygon Lv. 23
Type	Ground / Dragon
Ability	Levitate
Held Item	Normal Gem
Moves	Secret Power Fly Earth Power Dragon Claw

Avatar Changer

In the top-right corner of the guild, there’s also a Pokémon Ranger who can change the avatar of your character that appears in your Secret Base.

Talk to her and choose one of the available Trainer Classes. This change is also visible when you use other multiplayer features like StreetPass or PSS.

Following Steven to Route 120

If you follow Steven all the way to a wooden bridge on Route 120, a cutscene will start. He’ll give you a Key Item called the Devon Scope, which allows you to reveal hidden Kecleon that may block certain spots in an area.

Use it to reveal a nearby hidden Kecleon, then battle or catch it.

Devon Scope + Starter’s Mega Stone

In addition to giving you the Devon Scope, Steven will also present you with your Starter Pokemon’s Mega Stone before leaving once again. Let your fully evolved starter hold this to allow them to Mega Evolve.

Starter Chosen	Mega Stone
Treecko	Sceptilite
Torchic	Blazikenite
Mudkip	Swampertite

Back to Fortree City

Return to Fortree City and use the Devon Scope on the hidden Kecleon blocking the path to the Gym.

After being revealed, the Kecleon will flee, allowing you to enter and challenge the city’s Gym.

The Fortree City Gym

After you defeat Winona, you’ll receive the Feather Badge and TM19 Roost. Additionally, you’ll finally be able to use HM02 Fly outside of battle.

Route 120

After obtaining the sixth Gym Badge, you’ll now be able to fully explore Route 120.

This route can be divided into two primary sections: the main section primarily situated on the eastern side, and the Ancient Tomb section on the west side.

Head southward through the winding paths, long grass mazes, and wooden bridges in the main section to find the exit leading to Route 121.

Wild Pokémon

Currently Obtainable Items

Free Daily Berry from Aroma Lady

In the southwest corner of Route 120, an Aroma Lady will give you a Berry each day if you say “Yes” to her question.

The specific type of Berry she will give you is determined by the last digit of your Trainer ID number.

Berry	Last Digit of Trainer ID
Figy Berry	0 or 5
Wiki Berry	1 or 6
Mago Berry	2 or 7
Aguav Berry	3 or 8

If you climb the stairs near the Aroma Lady, you’ll enter the section of Route 120 surrounding the cave known as the Ancient Tomb.

The cave entrance is closed for now, but you’ll be able to catch Registeel inside later in the game.

Notably, although the Pokémon you can find are mostly the same, fishing in this area has a different encounter table than the rest of the route.

Southeast Exit to Route 121
