Don't Miss the Secret Moon Stones: Full Pokémon Firered Mt. Moon Map Guide
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
Ascending the final staircase out of Mt. Moon brings you onto the sunny terraces of Route 4. Before jumping down the ledges into Cerulean City, speak to the two Black Belt martial artists standing in the dirt clearing. These non-player characters act as one-time Move Tutors for Mega Punch and Mega Kick. Teaching Mega Kick to an evolved Nidoking or your starter provides unmatched raw attack power for this stage of the campaign.
Check your bag before walking into Cerulean. With the Moon Stones secured, TM46 stashed, and your chosen fossil tucked safely away, Mt. Moon transitions from a dreaded chore into the foundation of your championship run. Rest up at the Cerulean Pokémon Center, reorganize your party order, and prepare for Misty's gym.
