There are three different levels in '''Mt. Moon''', populated by four types of Pokémon and multiple trainers. Also along the way, you'll notice that the criminal gang Team Rocket is carrying out an operation in Mt. Moon, and it's up to you to blow their operation wide open!

There's a Rare Candy within Mt. Moon, but save it for now. Your Pokemon level up too fast right now to justify using a Rare Candy. In addition, Mt. Moon is where you will find your first Evolutionary Stones. The '''Moon Stones''' you find here can be used to evolve {{bp|Nidorino}}, {{bp|Nidorina}}, {{bp|Jigglypuff}}, or {{bp|Clefairy}}. If you wish to use it on Nidorino/a, you should wait to do so at Level 22, and only at 22, to gain access to great moves for both.

If you dont want to fight all the trainers and just reach the end of Mt. Moon then follow the path all the way to the end and go down the very last ladder and follow the path from there. Each floor section will have a detailed guide to get to each trainer/item.
==Floor 1==
<center>[[File:PKMN FR&LG Area MtMoon1Floor.png]]</center>
From the entrance you should go left grab '''TM09''' then continue left to face Bug Catcher Kent. To the left of Bug Catcher Kent is a '''Parlyz Heal'''.
Head back east and face Lass Iris. Continue east and follow the path until reach the first ladder. Dont go down it yet and head south. You will then find Super Nerd Jovan. Just northwest if Jovan is a '''Potion'''. Go to the south wall and follow it to find a '''Rare Candy'''. To the northwest of the rare candy is Bug Catcher Robby. Go back to the south wall until you hit the corner and go north to find an '''Escape Rope'''. Keep going north until the wall to your left ends then turn left to get to the ladder that we skipped before and go down it to get to [[#First ladder B1F|B1F]].
Now that your first adventure is done, its time to return to the first floor. Follow the path northeast where you will bump into Lass Miriam. Follow the path until you hit the next ladder and go down it to go back to another section of [[#Second ladder B1F|B1F]].
Now you are on the final stretch of Mt. Moon but there are still more surprises for you! Follow the path south and you'll run into Youngster Josh. Head northwest and you'll find Hiker Marcos. Above Marcos is a rare '''Moon stone'''! Go down the last ladder on this floor to go to the final section of [[#Third ladder B1F|B1F]].
There isn't really anything here but if you want to test your luck search the rocks and you might get some mushrooms. Also this floor is great to get a Paras as its the only pokémon you'll find here.
Follow the path to the next ladder to get to [[#First ladder B2F|B2F]].
====Items====
* TinyMushroom ×3 (hidden in the rocks in the tunnels, but only later on in the game and subject to an uncertain bug where they might not be encountered; respawn occasionally)
* Big Mushroom ×3 (hidden in the rocks in the tunnels, but only later on in the game and subject to an uncertain bug where they might not be encountered; respawn occasionally)
===Items===
===Second ladder B1F===
* TM09 {{bpm|Bullet Seed}} (F1)
This is a pretty small section but again test your luck and check the rocks for mushrooms. Only Paras are found here again. Go down the ladder to reach the second section of [[#Second ladder B2F|B2F]].
* Tiny mushroom ×3 (Hidden in the rocks in the tunnels)
Here you'll face a Team Rocket Grunt. To the right on a plateau you'll find a '''Star Piece'''. Head back the way you came and go to the [[#1F|first floor]].
* Big Mushroom ×3 (Hidden in the rocks in the tunnels)
Here you will face another Team Rocket Grunt. You will also find a hidden '''Ether''' in the rock to the right and '''TM46''' on the plateau. When done here, go back the way you came and return to the [[#1F|first floor]].
A long and windy path that will lead you through more trainers and items. The rare Clefairy is also easier to find here so catch it before leaving. Catch the opposite gender if you want to breed them to get cleffa to complete the National Dex.
Head north to get a '''Revive''' then head back south to the stairs to face another Team Rocket Grunt. Follow the path and you will run another the last Team Rocket Grunt here. Head north and right before the stairs head east to the rock to find another rare '''Moon Stone'''! Head back to the stairs and face Super Nerd Miguel. Once you beat and chat with Miguel you'll be able to choose a '''Helix Fossil''' or a '''Dome Fossil'''. Follow the path north and find an '''Antidote''' before the ladder then go up the ladders to see the light out of Mt. Moon!
The most common Pokémon among caves in all the Pokémon Core games. At this part of the game you can only evolve it into {{bp|Golbat}}. In order to evolve it further into {{bp|Crobat}}, you will need to beat the Elite Four and to raise Golbat's happiness to the maximum. Crobat, however, is an excellent Pokémon which has decent Attack and magnificent Speed. You can catch Zubat later because Golbat doesn't do very well on the Elite Four.}}

The first Rock-type Pokémon in this game. It has powerful attacks early on and is easy to train. However, it can't stand Water- nor Grass-type attacks so be cautious when using it. It evolves into {{bp|Graveler}} by leveling up and then into {{bp|Golem}} by trading. Golem, however, is inferior to {{bp|Rhydon}} (which is also a Rock/Ground-type Pokémon) statwise and Rhydon can be obtained easier since Rhyhorn doesn't need to be traded to evolve.}}

A weak Bug/Grass-type Pokémon which can be easily found in Basement Floor 1. It evolves into {{bp|Parasect}}. It has numerous weaknesses and its stats are quite poor (especially Speed), so using it isn't recommendable.

A caught Paras has a chance of holding a '''Tiny Mushroom''' or a '''Big Mushroom'''. These items, worthless now, have a purpose much later in the game, serving as a currency for an unique Move Tutor that can reteach a Pokemon its early moves.
