Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen/Mt. Moon

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 Nidorino, Nidorina, Jigglypuff, or 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.

1F

Mt. Moon 1F

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 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 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 B1F.

B1F

Mt. Moon B1F

First ladder 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 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)

Second ladder B1F

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 B2F.

Third ladder B1F

If you have noticed B1F is pretty boring. Just follow the path to get to the final section of B2F.

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.

New Pokémon

#41 Zubat

The most common Pokémon among caves in all the Pokémon Core games. At this part of the game you can only evolve it into Golbat. In order to evolve it further into 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.

#74 Geodude

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 Graveler by leveling up and then into Golem by trading. Golem, however, is inferior to 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.

#46 Paras

A weak Bug/Grass-type Pokémon which can be easily found in Basement Floor 1. It evolves into 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.

#35 Clefairy

Clefairy the Moon Pokémon. It has some decent attacks and some very useful egg moves, though its Attack isn't that high. It is a bit difficult to find, but it can be bought at Celadon City afterwards.

It evolves into Clefable by using the Moon Stone. Clefable may be worth a second look as it is capable of learning the wonderful move Soft-Boiled from a Move Tutor, a feat otherwise only available to Chansey.
