Appendix:Red and Blue walkthrough/Section 4

This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for Pokémon Red and Blue.
These pages follow the original Game Boy iteration, not FireRed and LeafGreen. The guide for those games can be found here.


Route 3

 
Route 3

Route 3 is a grassy road that leads east from Pewter City into the mountains around Route 4. Many Trainers can be found along the way as they raise their Pokémon for the upcoming cave.


Route 4 (West)

The Magikarp Salesman

A Pokémon Center stands near the entrance to Mt. Moon. Inside, a shady man offers to sell you a Magikarp for $500. The fish is nearly useless until it evolves into the powerful Gyarados at level 20. With enough money to spare, you can end up with a strong Water-type Pokémon sooner than normal, but you can soon hook a Magikarp for free with the right fishing rod.

Mt. Moon

 
Mt. Moon, 1F
 
Mt. Moon, B1F
 
Mt. Moon, B2F

Mt. Moon is a mystical mountain that is known for its frequent meteor falls. The shards of stars that fall here are known as Moon Stones. There are many Trainers exploring the tunnels inside. Many cave-dwelling Pokémon, like Zubat and Paras, make their home here.


1F

Collect TM12 (Water Gun) and the Potion to the west, then follow the tunnel eastward and climb down the first ladder.

B2F (South)

Battle the Team Rocket Grunt, then grab the HP Up from the raised platform and take the ladder back to 1F.

1F

Go south to battle the next two Trainers. Be sure to collect the Potion, Rare Candy, and Escape Rope. Head north then west and climb down the second ladder.

B2F (Northeast)

Fight the second Team Rocket Grunt and pick up TM01 (Mega Punch) from the platform. Inspect the large rock to find a hidden Ether before returning to 1F.

1F

Continue westward along the tunnel. Grab the Moon Stone in the northwest corner, then take the third ladder to the lower floor.

B2F (Outer Area)

Follow the winding tunnel in a clockwise direction to the northwest, where a Super Nerd claims both the Dome Fossil and Helix Fossil lying here as his own. Defeat him, and he lets you choose one of them for yourself. The Dome Fossil was once a Kabuto, while the Helix Fossil was once an Omanyte. Climb the final ladder to reach the exit.


Route 4 (East)

 
Route 4

Route 4 is a one-way road leading downhill from the mountains to Cerulean City.
