Pinwheel Forest

Pinwheel Forest (Japanese: ヤグルマの Yaguruma Forest) is a forest in Unova which lies between Nacrene City and Castelia City, at the east end of the Skyarrow Bridge. 
Deep within the forest, a secluded area named Rumination Field (Japanese: Rumination Field) can be visited. In , it is the home of the Legendary Pokémon .
In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Virizion no longer resides in Rumination Field, instead taking residence on . The forest can now only be visited after the player enters the Hall of Fame. Gorm of the Seven Sages can be found here while investigating with Cheren. 
Due to the presence of a Moss Rock, can evolve into here.
==Geography==
Pinwheel Forest is a vast, forested stretch of land that extends over a large area in southeastern Unova. It is divided into two separate sectors. In Pokémon Black and White, the exterior is the only section of the forest available to explore before obtaining the , because a group of s stand in the way just a few steps into the interior, preventing access to Pokémon living there.
===Exterior===
From Nacrene City, a short paved road can be briefly taken to advance deeper into Pinwheel Forest, or one could detour into a narrow grassy path diverging from the main road, which instead proceeds further south. Nestled between some trees, a section of the railroad from Nacrene City can be seen, appearing to be discontinued due to its lack of completeness. Beyond more grass lies a marshy area speckled with grassy patches and shallow puddles. Flights of stairs to the far east guide the player up a rocky hill; the Challenge Rock rests in the center, where players can bring Fighting-type Pokémon to receive a Star Piece/Stardust daily. A Hidden Grotto is located on the upper right corner of this hill.
===Interior===
The heart of Pinwheel Forest takes on a more distinct forest atmosphere in contrast to its exterior section. The foliage is noticeably thicker, more abundant, and covers a substantial amount of area; the density of the leafage may be to blame for the constant lack of sunlight. The paved road originating from Nacrene City cuts a clean path through the forest, continuing westward briefly before taking a sharp turn to the north. The road passes over a tiny lake at its midpoint, and two elevated walkways accommodate pedestrians moving through the area. On both sides of the main road, maze-like trails snake their way through the landscape which enable players to explore deeper into the forest. Hollowed logs allow players to traverse through them to reach areas that are otherwise inaccessible. This area also contains a moss-covered rock located on its southern end, which allows to evolve into if leveled up in the area.
In Pokémon Black and White, the east portion of the inner forest is initially blocked by an old man, and goes away after the player obtains the Bicycle. At the deep end of this area holds the entrance to Rumination Field where the Legendary Pokémon resides; this area is only accessible after the player battles .
Another Hidden Grotto can be found in the center of the forest to the left of the thin lake, and can only be reached by using .
