Pronounced: Kor-HEN-druh
シャクハチタウン
A town known for its folk music and stunning landscapes. Its location, North of the forested Route 11, makes it difficult to reach for most, so only the most dedicated folk music fans and Pokémon trainers reach it. The sixth gym is located here. The road Northeast leads to Y Craffter Regional Park and Route 12.
Corhendre Town is a rustic and natural enclave surrounded by a sea of trees. The town is known for its laid-back atmosphere and the 'Hafod Soul' music festival which it hosts in a neighbouring field, drawing visitors with its vibrant, friendly energy. It also has Pokémon centre and a Pokémart. The sixth gym is found within the festival grounds.
As the player approaches the Pokémon Center, they are greeted by Daphne and Dylan. Daphne is relieved to see them and praises their efforts in rescuing their friend. She then explains that Corhendre Town does not have a traditional Gym building; instead, its leader, Gwil, accepts challengers in a gym tent set up in the nearby fields. Dylan excitedly adds that, just as Ume mentioned back in Curiad Forest, Corhendre is home to the famous "Hafod Soul" Music Festival. With that, Daphne and Dylan rush off together to check out the festival.
To the north of town, a meadow has been transformed into a lively festival space, illuminated by string lights and dotted with colorful tents. The Hafod Soul Music Festival is in full swing, featuring a rustic wooden stage where musicians perform for an enthusiastic crowd. As part of the "Jam Session Showdown," the player must battle against various folk musicians, each bringing their own rhythm and style to the fight. Finally, Gwil, carrying a guitar on his back, steps onto the stage, ready for battle, inviting the player to challenge him for the Corhendre Gym Badge.
"Music on the mountainside!"

Once beaten, Gwil invites the player to his trailer behind the stage where he gives them the Scroll of Love, the scroll that unlocks Ruckrawl’s ancestral form. He wishes the player luck on their journey. Before he can say goodbye though, Dylan rushes over, frantically asking for the blushing Gwil’s autograph. Dylan, overjoyed, says he’s off to train some more before he takes on the gym and rushes off again.
