Mt. Moon is a fictional mountain in the Pokémon world situated between Pewter City and Cerulean City, connecting Routes 3 and 4. It appears in the first and second generation games as well as in FireRed and LeafGreen. Because it's impossible to climb, it must be passed through the caves, which include many large floors. Its name may be based on the Clefairy found there, which are said to be from the moon.
Pokémon Found
[edit | edit source]In the first and third generations, Mt. Moon is the first place where the player can find Zubat and Geodude, Pokémon often found in any cave. Apart from those, Paras and Clefairy are also found there. Paras can be found later in the game in the Safari Zone, but Clefairy can only be found there and its very rare to find.
In the second generation, Mt. Moon was also the only place to find Clefairy.
Appeareance in the different generations
[edit | edit source]
Originally, Mt. Moon was a three-floor dungeon with many paths to confuse the player. Most of them lead to an item and a trainer, while one leads to a scientist that discovered two fossils (Helix Fossil and Dome Fossil) and you could select which to take.
In the second generation, Mt. Moon was reduced to a simple path with an additional exit, which leaded to the Mt. Moon Square, an open space in the middle of Mt. Moon where Clefairy play during the Monday nights. If the player went there on a Monday night, he would see two Clefairy dancing around a rock. Then they will notice the player and flee, leaving the stone. If the player broke the stone with Rock Smash, he would find a Moon Stone. This was the only way to get one.
