Spectral Thicket

Spectral Thicket is a dungeon found southwest of Frigid Heights. The dungeon consists of mostly Dark-, Ghost-, and Bug-types. It has three routes available to be taken at its midpoint after Floor 20; Ghost, Dark, or Psychic, which require a Pokémon of the correspending type on the team.

After going through the first part of one of the aforementioned route, Spectral Thicket's main path can be chosen at the second midpoint—after Floor 40. It requires a party of two to three players to press switches ans open the entrance to the path. You may also use the key found in the end room to unlock the path if you have beaten Spectral Thicket before.

Attributes

A fork is reached after Floor 20. This is where the player must pick between the Ghost, Dark, or Psychic Spectral Thicket routes and continue through them, starting on Floor 21 of the chosen path. A Pokémon of one of the respective types is required to pick one, otherwise you cannot continue and must escape using the warp.

Floor 40 leads to another fork, wherein the available routes to be chosen and the restrictions are the same, but an entrance to continue on the regular Spectral Thicket route is accessible. One switch is located on the pathways to the type-restricted routes, which removes the respective blocks to the main route entrance. Due to this, two or three players are needed to hit all three switches in time and get to the main path entrance. Alternatively, if you have a Spectral Key and have beaten Spectral Thicket's main path already, the locked door in the bottom-right can be opened to continue the main path instead.
