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

In [[Generation I]], Mt. Moon is a large cave with many floors and connectors. The interior of the mountain is comprised of caves spanning three separate floors. As being the first cave the player will come across in {{g|Red and Blue}} and {{g|Yellow}}, Mt. Moon has a very long and complex stucture. The first floor contains several trainers. While the basement floor contains members of [[Team Rocket]] who are trying to steal fossils from Mt. Moon for unknown reasons. Upon the player's way out to [[Cerulean City]], the player will find two fossils, the [[Dome Fossil]] and the [[Helix Fossil]], that another trainer claims to found first. Reaching a compromise, the trainer lets the player choose a fossil and the trainer will take the other. In {{g|Yellow}},  after the player obtians one of the fossils, [[Team Rocket|Jessie and James]] will appear for the first time and battle the player.

==Generation II==

[[Image:Mt._moon_genII.jpg‎|right|thumb|Mt. Moon in Gen II]]

In [[Generation II]], Mt. Moon has dramatically decreased in size from Generation I. It now has only one base floor with a couple of connectors. On the heights of Mt. Moon is Mt. Moon Square, a ritual place for {{p|Clefairy}} to worship the moon. This is also a spot where your [[silver (game)|rival]] is training near the enterance and he will battle the player for the [[Silver (game)#Sixth_encounter_(Mt._Moon)|sixth time]] during the game.

===Mt. Moon Square===

[[Image:Mt._moon_square.PNG‎|right|thumb|Mt. Moon Square]]

Mt. Moon Square is an area in the heights of Mt. Moon. On [[Days_of_the_week#Monday|Monday]] [[night]]s, {{p|Clefairy}} will dance and pray to a large {{evostone|Moon Stone}} in the [[Mt. Moon Square|square]].  By interrupting the dance and breaking the stone using {{m|Rock Smash}}, trainers can always find a normal Moon Stone below the rock. There is also a small shop here that sells a varity of goods.

==Generation III==

[[Image:Mtmoon1.png‎|right|thumb|Mt. Moon in Generation III]]

Mt. Moon in Generation III is much like the Mt. Moon in Generation I. The only difference between Generations is the items found within the cave. The first floor contains several trainers. While the basement floor contains members of [[Team Rocket]] who are trying to steal fossils from Mt. Moon for unknown reasons. Upon the player's way out to [[Cerulean City]], the player will find two fossils, the [[Dome Fossil]] and the [[Helix Fossil]], that another trainer claims to found first. Reaching a compromise, the trainer lets the player choose a fossil and the trainer will take the other.

==In the anime==

{{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} have visited Mt. Moon twice. Once was early in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', when they helped protect the {{p|Clefairy}} from [[Team Rocket]] and watched many evolve into {{p|Clefable}}. Also, it was here that [[Brock]] captured a {{TP|Brock|Zubat}}. Later, in ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', they encountered the Clefairy and Clefable again and helped the fairy Pokémon reunite with a young {{p|Cleffa}}.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==

Mt. Moon is first visited and debuts in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]''; however it is first mentioned in the previous round, ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' by [[Professor Oak]]. The mountain consists of several interconnected caves, which are the home of wild Pokémon 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 {{Special|Red}} and [[Misty]] enter Mt. Moon. Here is where the first confrontation between Red and [[Team Rocket]] takes place. Mt. Moon is also where Red battles [[Bruno]] in the beginning of the Yellow saga.
