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

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 {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and {{game|Yellow}}, Mt. Moon has a very long and complex structure. The first floor contains several normal {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, while the basement floor contains 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 battle, the Super Nerd lets the player choose a Fossil and the Super Nerd will take the other. In {{game|Yellow}}, after the player obtains one of the Fossils, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] will appear for the first time and battle the player.

===Generation 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. It is also a spot where the player's {{ga|Silver|rival}} is training near the entrance and he will battle the player for the sixth time during the game.

When entering through the [[Pewter City]] entrance, there are two ways to go, in the eastern direction or in the southern direction. By traveling south and then east, the Cerulean City entrance can be found. However, by traveling east at the Pewter City entrance, the player will end up at the northern side of the summit of Mt. Moon, or "[[Mt. Moon Square]]." By traveling south at the Mt. Moon Square, and entering the southern cavern, there will be a [[ledge]] which can be jumped to instantly access the Cerulean City entrance.

Mt. Moon Square is an area in the heights of Mt. Moon. On {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}} [[Time|nights]], 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}}, Trainers can always find a Moon Stone below the rock. There is also a small shop here that sells a variety of goods.

===Generation III===

Mt. Moon in [[Generation III]] is much like the Mt. Moon in Generation I. The only difference between [[generation]]s is the items found within the cave. The first floor contains several Trainers. In the north-eastern corner of the first floor, there is a man who is excavating for fossils. This man is a friend of [[Brock]] and is a source of one of Brock's [[Fame Checker]] entries. The basement floor still contains members of Team Rocket who are still trying to steal Fossils from Mt. Moon. As with Generation I, the player will find two Fossils near the exit, the Dome Fossil and the Helix Fossil, that a Super Nerd claims to have found first. The player battles the Nerd, and upon victory, gets to take one Fossil.

===Generation IV===

As with Generation II, Mt. Moon once again only has one base floor with a couple of connectors. The rival is training near the entrance when the player first arrives here, and will battle against him or her.

When entering through the Pewter City entrance, there are two ways to go, either east or south. By traveling south and then east, the Cerulean City entrance can be found. However, by traveling east at the Pewter City entrance, the Trainer will end up at Mt. Moon Square. By traveling south at the Mt. Moon Square, and entering the southern cavern, there will be a ledge which can be jumped to instantly access the Cerulean City entrance.

Mt. Moon seems bigger in the anime than it does in the {{pkmn|games}}, being clearly seen from as far away as [[Pallet Town]].  

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

 

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

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

[[File:Mt Moon Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|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 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]] 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 the {{chap|Yellow}}.
