Role

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

At the start of the game, the Slumbering Weald is blocked by a closed gate. After theplayer andHop obtain theirfirst partner Pokémon, aWooloo crashes through the gate, prompting the two to enter the area to rescue it. After the first grass patch and before leaving the third grass patch, the player may talk to Hop any number of times to heal their Pokémon. After leaving the second grass patch, the player and Hop hear acry, and Hop automatically heals the player's Pokémon. Soon after leaving the third grass patch, Hop runs ahead of the player; after following him, the two run into a thick wall of fog and are suddenly approached by amysterious Pokémon. None of the player's Pokémon's moves have any effect on it, and the game doesn't allow you to run away. As the battle continues, they and Hop are soon knocked unconscious as the mysterious Pokémon envelops them in opaque fog. The two wake up and are found soon after byLeon, who also managed to find the runaway Wooloo, and leads everyone out of the forest. The gate closes again at this point, and does not re-open until much later in the game.

During this first visit, the game does not allow the player to leave the Slumbering Weald. After the second and third grass patches, Hop also prevents the player from backtracking to the grass patch they just left.

Zacian and Zamazenta encountered during the Darkest Day

AfterRose interrupts theChampion Cup by starting theDarkest Day, the player and Hop enter the forest again in order to find the Pokémon they met before, since legend says it once stopped the Darkest Day in the past. The player and Hop eventually find both of the Pokémon described in Galarian legends, andSonia explains that they are known asZacian andZamazenta, which were born somewhere beyond the Slumbering Weald long, long ago. At an altar at the deepest part of the forest, the player and Hop discover theRusted Sword and theRusted Shield, ancient artifacts that were once used to stop the Darkest Day. Each of them takes one of the relics, before traveling toHammerlocke to stop Rose. While the player and Hop confrontEternatus, Zacian and Zamazenta awaken from their long sleep near the altar and rush to join the battle.

The altar where Zacian and Zamazenta sleep

During the post-game, the player meets Hop at Slumbering Weald and battles him. After the player has defeated Hop yet again, the two return the relics to the altar, only forSordward andShielbert to show up and snatch them. The player manages to recover one of the items, but the two brothers get away with the other one.

Later, Hop pursues Zamazenta^Sw/Zacian^Sh to the Slumbering Weald after the twin brothers had driven it berserk, and manages to calm it down by the time player is donecatching the otherLegendary Pokémon and they and Sonia reach the Slumbering Weald. The Legendary Pokémon then willingly lets itself to be caught by Hop, becoming one of his partners. Hop then requests the player battle him for one last time, in the same place where their adventure first began. Once the battle is over, Hop declares that his new dream is to become aPokémon Professor, and Sonia offers him a place as herassistant, which he accepts.

Geography

Slumbering Weald is a maze-like foggy forest offPostwick. Low-leveled Pokémon are found near the entrance, with stronger ones being found deeper inside. A small river flows through the forest, with stone bridges leading over it whenever the forest path crosses it. In one spot, a fallen log also provides access to the opposite side of the river.

At the deepest part of the forest is an altar dedicated toZacian andZamazenta. Behind the altar is a small lake, which is likely connected to the river flowing through the forest.

Wanderers

AStunfisk hides mostly beneath the soil with only its lips visible, resembling a tinyitem ball. It will emerge from the dirt if stepped on or if the player whistles. It is near the deepest part of the forest, just south of the Smoke Ball. It respawns every time when exiting and re-entering the area.

Special

On the player's first visit, they are forced to participate in three guaranteedhidden encounters, one for each of the first three patches of grass. Unlike usual, the player cannot move after the exclamation mark has popped up in front of them, and the encounter begins immediately afterward even though the player has not made direct contact with the exclamation mark.

This is followed by a special battle withZacian^Sw/Zamazenta^Sh. In this battle, that Pokémon's name andlevel are replaced with ??? and the player only has the option to Fight or Run, although selectingrun only displays the message"You can't run away for some reason!" and the player's turn is not taken up. All of the player's Pokémon's moves have no effect; if move animations are turned on in theoptions, Zacian^Sw/Zamazenta^Sh will only shimmer slightly in response to any move. Zacian^Sw/Zamazenta^Sh does not use any moves; instead, it keeps making the fog in the battle thicker and thicker until the player passes out at the end of the third turn.

None of these Pokémon can be caught, as the player has noPoké Balls at this stage of the game. In addition, no wild Pokémon will appear outside of these scripted encounters. This prevents the player from using up all of their first partner Pokémon'sPP and selectingStruggle against Zacian or Zamazenta.
