Grimewood Forest
Grimewood Forest was a map for the Halloween 2021 event. This map featured a total of 15 catchable Pokémon; 3 of which were not previously catchable (Munna, Barboach, and Kabuto). The event introduced a unique format with branching pathways where trainers' choices influenced later content and the overall ending received; thus varied rewards to a certain extent.
More information about the event is available on the forums and will be updated following the end of the event.

Announcement Message
Greetings, Trainers!
Shortly before Halloween, I became aware of rumours of a strange affliction affecting a town somewhere in the outskirts of the Pokémon World. However, it wasn't until many weeks later, when a mysterious letter arrived at our office, that all of us in the PWO Staff realised the rumours were more than just myth.
From what we've been able to determine, deep in a forest far from mainland Kanto and Johto, there is a town called Grimewood. Despite the small population and isolated nature of the town, Grimewood has been able to make a name for itself thanks to its small library, good trade links with Sinnoh, and being adjacent to a forest where an unusual fruit grows from a single tree. In fact, it appears the Town has even now attracted the attention of a wealthy developer!
But disaster has struck! Somehow the town has fallen victim to a mysterious disease which is causing its residents to fall into a deep slumber and experience horrendous nightmares. Even the mayor has been affected! Those residents who are still awake are scrambling to figure out the cause of this unusual illness, but as yet they have not found the cause.
Maybe you can help out? The PWO Staff have been able to convince two train operators (Event Transport NPCs), one at Viridian City and one at Cherrygrove City, to operate a special train service to transport brave Trainers to Grimewood Town. The Vice-Mayor is a little worried about tourists in case they also get afflicted, but if you're up for helping to solve the mystery and free the townsfolk from their anguish, I'm sure he'll be happy to have you!
