Mt. Moon: Difference between revisions

'''Mt. Moon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|お月見山|オツキミやま / おつきみやま}}''' ''Mt. Otsukimi'') is a mountain located in northern [[Kanto]], between [[Pewter City]] in the west and [[Cerulean City]] in the east. It also provides access to [[Mt. Moon Square]] in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}. Climbing does not seem to be possible; to get past it, travelers always need to travel through the caves.

===In Pokémon Pinball===

Mt. Moon is depicted as being apparently bigger in the anime than it is in the {{pkmn|games}}. It can be clearly seen from as far away as [[Pallet Town]].  

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

Later, Mt. Moon was mentioned in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', when Brock pulled out a bottle of Mt. Moon spring water from his [[Bag]].

In ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', the three returned to Mt. Moon with {{an|May}} and [[Max]]. There, they encountered the Clefairy and {{p|Clefable}} again, and helped the [[Pokémon category|Fairy]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} reunite with a young {{p|Cleffa}}.

In addition to the Clefairy family and {{p|Zubat}}, {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Sandshrew}} also reside here.

===In Pokémon Origins===

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

Mt. Moon is first visited 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 [[Moon Stone]] can be found. For this reason, {{adv|Red}} and [[Misty]] enter Mt. Moon. Here is where the first confrontation between Red and {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s takes place. [[Pika]] battled [[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 this chapter.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===

Mt. Moon appears in the third chapter of [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'', where {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} tries to catch a {{p|Clefairy}} in the Mt. Moon area. After three agonizing weeks in the wilderness, Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} accidentally follow a Clefairy into an occupied {{p|Onix}} nest. Ash and Pikachu are driven into the maze of tunnels the Onix has created. After rejecting using {{AP|Fearow}}, {{p|Beedrill}}, or Pikachu, Ash decides to use his {{AP|Butterfree}}. Butterfree uses {{m|Psychic}}, which weakens Onix, but also {{DL|Status condition|Volatile status|confuses}} it — causing it to thrash around and cause a cave-in that buries Pikachu and Ash under a pile of rocks. After escaping, he meets {{an|Professor Oak}} and [[Bill]], who have been studying a group of Clefairy living in the Mt. Moon area.

In addition to its presence as a card, Mt. Moon has been featured in Area 3 of {{TCG|Extended Sheet 1}} of the {{TCG|Vending Machine cards}}. The Pokémon shown in this area are {{TCG ID|Vending|Geodude|S1}}, {{TCG ID|Vending|Paras|S1}}, {{TCG ID|Vending|Clefairy|S1}}, and {{TCG ID|Vending|Zubat|S1}}.
