2017 Halloween Event

As part of the 2017 Halloween Event, Pikachu in this area was replaced by a disguised Pokémon overnight. When encountered, it still appeared as Pikachu at first, but it instantly started acting strangely, revealing that it was actually Mimikyu! The event lasted from 13th to 31st October, 2017.

However, in Pokemon: Bronze Forever, Mimikyu is available in the wild every Halloween update.

Trivia

• The appearance of Mimikyu here in 2017 Halloween Event marked the first Alola Pokémon encounter appearing on the main island of Roria.
• Pikachu can be found in this forest. This is a reference to Viridian Forest, Kanto, where Pikachu can be encountered at a low rate.
• The background music in Gale Forest was based on Santalune Forest, Kalos from the core series game Pokémon X and Y. It was replaced by Kyle Allen Music's original composition later on.
• Gale Forest now provides the most diverse Wild Pokémon selection in a single encounter method, with 13 different species available in the tall grass, surpassing Route 8. Only Roria Safari Zone has a wider selection than this area.
• Before the Anthian City update, Eclipse Member Linda's Poochyena and Pancham were 2 levels lower, giving 47 and 105 EXP Points respectively.
