This cave is full of {{bp|Zubat}}, but once you put a {{bp|Pikachu}} or other strong Pokémon at the head of the roster, you'll find them to be little more than an annoyance.  Deeper levels of the dungeon have Zubat that use the Supersonic skill to confuse your Pokémon, but that can be shaken simply by swapping the confused fighter for another.

{{bp|Geodude}} are a bit trickier.  They're weak to Grass and Water, so {{bp|Squirtle}}'s Bubble and {{bp|Bulbasaur}}'s Vine Whip can wipe them out quickly.  If you don't have either of these, you can just grab '''TM 12''' and use it to teach Water Gun to one of your Rattata, Jigglypuff, Nidorina or Nidorino.  Remember that Poison- and Rock-type attacks don't do very well against Geodude, and Electric attacks have no effect at all.

(you can also use charmander/charmelions ember attack, it may be fire and say its ineffective but it dose considerable amount of damage compared to most other attacks.) Remember that Poison- and Rock-type attacks don't do very well against Geodude, and Electric attacks have no effect at all.


Also feel free to use '''TM 01''', which teaches Mega Punch. It's a pretty powerful Normal-type attack, although it's slightly inaccurate.  It will be outclassed by other attacks such as Strength, Body Slam and Double-Edge later on.

Two nasty surprises await at the end of Mt. Moon (to get to the end, take ladder C to F to G).  Red and Blue players may simply want to avoid Rocket #3, since his Level 16 {{bp|Raticate}} can easily slay a Pokémon with Hyper Fang. Yellow players can't avoid their extra battle, though.  Use an Escape Rope and come back with a healed party, or heal up with Potions as needed. Yellow players should also watch out for Jessie and James, who will ambush you at the end after the battle over the fossils.
