Don't Miss the Secret Moon Stones: Full Pokémon Firered Mt. Moon Map Guide
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
Moon Stones are scarce throughout Kanto, making the two stones hidden in this mountain invaluable for early-game power spikes. Evolving Nidorino into Nidoking or Nidorina into Nidoqueen before facing Misty completely alters your mid-game damage output.
The first Moon Stone rests in plain sight inside an item ball on 1F. Head to the extreme northwest sector of the main floor. Navigate past the Hiker guarding the corner and walk down a short blind alleyway. The Poké Ball containing the stone sits right against the rock wall. Grab it immediately before engaging the trainers further east.
The second Moon Stone requires interacting with the environment on B2F. When you drop down into the central cavern where the Team Rocket Grunts patrol, locate the wide open chamber just before the fossil platform. Search the isolated, square rock formation sitting alone near the upper wall. Pressing the interact button facing this specific stone triggers a hidden prompt, yielding a second Moon Stone without requiring the Itemfinder.
