Mt. Moon is known for being one of the few places where {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Clefairy}} can be found and for its frequent meteor falls. The shards of meteorites that fall here become {{evostone|Moon Stone}}s, which is why its name is ''Mt. Moon''. The mountain is also known for being home to Pokémon [[Fossil]]s. [[Brock]] digs for Fossils here in his spare time.

In the [[Generation I]] games, Mt. Moon is a large cave with many floors and connectors. The interior of the mountain is comprised of caves spanning three separate floors. Being the first cave that the {{player}} will come across with, Mt. Moon has a very long and complex structure. The first floor contains several ordinary {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, while the basement floor contains {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|members of Team Rocket}} who are trying to steal [[Fossil]]s from Mt. Moon to market them for money. On the player's way out to [[Cerulean City]], the player will find two Fossils, the [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Dome Fossil]] and the [[Dome and Helix Fossils|Helix Fossil]] that a {{tc|Super Nerd}} claims to have found first. After being defeated in {{pkmn|battle}}, the Super Nerd lets the player choose one of the Fossils while he will take the other one. In {{game|Yellow}}, after the player obtains one of the Fossils, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] will appear for the first time and battle the player. However, they are not referred to as such in-game, sharing their [[Trainer class]] with that of ordinary [[Team Rocket]] Grunts, which are called '''Rocket''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんいん''' ''Team Rocket Member'') in this [[generation]].

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, Mt. Moon has dramatically decreased in size from {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}. It now has only one base floor with a couple of connectors. It is also a spot where the {{player}}'s {{ga|Silver|rival}} is training near the entrance and he will {{pkmn|battle}} the player for the sixth time during the game.

Mt. Moon Square is an area in the heights of Mt. Moon. On {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}} [[Time|nights]], two {{p|Clefairy}} will dance and pray to a large {{evostone|Moon Stone}} in the square. By interrupting the dance and breaking the stone using {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can always find a Moon Stone below the rock. There is also a small shop here that sells a variety of goods.

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} have visited Mt. Moon twice. Once was in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', when they helped [[Seymour]] protect the {{p|Clefairy}} from {{TRT}} and watched many of them evolve into {{p|Clefable}} due to exposure to falling {{evostone|Moon Stone}}s. Also, it was here in this episode that {{an|Brock}} captured a {{TP|Brock|Zubat}}.

In ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', they returned to Mt. Moon, encountering the Clefairy and {{p|Clefable}} again, and helping the [[Species|Fairy]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} reunite with a young {{p|Cleffa}}.

Mt. Moon was briefly seen in the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]'', as {{OBP|Red|Origins}} recalled battling a [[fossil]]-crazy {{tc|Super Nerd}} there.

[[File:Mt Moon Adventures.png|thumb|Mt. Moon as it appears in [[Pokémon Adventures]].]]

Mt. Moon is first visited in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]''; however, it is first mentioned in the previous round, ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' by {{adv|Professor Oak}}. The mountain consists of several interconnected caves, which are the home of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} like {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Geodude}}. Its importance resides in being the place where the {{evostone|Moon Stone}} can be found. For this reason {{adv|Red}} and [[Misty#In the Pokémon Adventures manga|Misty]] enter Mt. Moon. Here is where the first confrontation between Red and {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s takes place. [[Pika]] battled [[Koga#In the Pokémon Adventures manga|Koga]]'s {{p|Rhyhorn}}, but Koga injected Rhyhorn with a syringe which made it [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Rhydon}}. Pika hit a rock from the ceiling which sealed [[Team Rocket]] in. Mt. Moon is also where Red battles [[Bruno]] in the beginning of the {{chap|Yellow}}.
