Tips

• Your rival battles you as soon as you first enter, with a team in the low 40s led by his fully evolved starter at level 45.
• On Monday nights, walk into Mt. Moon Square to watch the Clefairy dance; afterwards smash the rock they leave with Rock Smash and search the spot for a hidden Moon Stone before you leave the area.
• The gift shop in Mt. Moon Square is only staffed in the morning and during the day; it sells Poké Dolls, drinks, Repels and Portraitmail.
• Sandshrew and Sandslash are found here only in Pokémon Gold.
• Clefairy can be caught in the cave at level 8, though they make up only up to 5% of encounters.
