Use Headbutt on a tree (taught by the tutor in Ilex Forest). Which trees are “common”, “rare” or empty depends on the last digit of your Trainer ID.

Items

Hidden items can be found with the Dowsing MCHN Pokégear app.

Tips

• Miltank (5%), Tauros (4%) and Snubbull (1%) are rare finds in the grass, and a Snubbull mass outbreak makes the latter much easier.
• Farfetch’d appears in the morning and during the day at 10%, while Magnemite appears at all times.
• Lass Dana sometimes gives you a Thunder Stone if you have her Pokégear number.
• A White Apricorn tree grows west of the fenced section and can be picked daily.
• A Lax Incense and a hidden HP Up are behind the fence and need Rock Climb.
• Meowth appears only in SoulSilver, and Rattata only in HeartGold.
