'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an area accessible from [[Hoenn]]. During its story, it will be from the top of [[Sky Pillar]]. However, after leaving it, it won't be possible to visit again until completing the [[Elite Four (Hoenn)|Hoenn Elite Four]]. After it has been completed, it can be visited again from [[Mossdeep City]] Space Station, although at the fee of {{Pdollar}}15,000 per travel.

The Moon is known for being the location to encounter [[Deoxys]]. Since it is a very hard encounter, Pokémons are usually prepared specifically for this battle. It is also useful to bring a [[Flash]] Pokémon as its deepest floor is in the dark.

==Notable miscellanies==
===[[Deoxys]]===
The first time on the Moon, the objective will be to find [[Deoxys]], who is waiting in the middle of the main floor. To reach him, it will be necessary to go through the moon clockwise. Once in the south-east dark part, there will be a path that leads toward the center-north, which exit leads to [[Deoxys]].

[[Deoxys]] is similar to Giovanni's [[Mewtwo]] back in [[Viridian City]]. With a level estimated to be level 100, most Pokémons will not have any chance at attacking. The most often recommended strategy is to take a low level [[Sturdy (ability)|Sturdy]] Pokémon such as [[Geodude]], teach it [[Toxic]] and poison [[Deoxys]] while stalling with healing items. Unfortunately, this requires to carry the [[Toxic]] TM from [[Kanto]]. Although unreliable, it is also possible to attempt getting a [[Toxic]] with a Pokémon like [[Roselia]] and [[Swalot]] while holding a [[Quick Claw]]. Another strategy is to bring many Pokémons with [[Sucker Punch]] such as [[Cacturne]] and [[Mightyena]], guaranteeing up to 6 super effective hits. Going at it defensively is not recommended, as even an [[Eviolite]] [[Dusclops]] will barely survive a normal effective [[Psychic]], while no available Pokémon can survive all of its moves.

With [[Deoxys]] defeated, all there is remaining is to find [[Rayquaza]]. He will be in a random location within B1F, but only within the very small rooms. After speaking to it, the player will be returned to [[Sootopolis City]], and it won't be possible to visit the Moon again until after defeating the [[Elite Four (Hoenn)|Hoenn Elite Four]].
