'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a mountainous [[Kanto]] route that's interlocated between [[Pewter City]] and [[Mt. Moon]], serving as a junctional route therebetween.

This area will be made accessible immediately upon defeating Brock in [[Pewter Gym]]; thereafter, the occlusive NPC in [[Pewter City]] will disappear, allowing the player to seamlessly enter this route. This route and pathway onwards must be traveled in order to reach [[Cerulean City]]—the second Gym-badge destination in Kanto's successional line.

This is the first route a player will access wherein [[Diggable Patches]] are available; however, until the Thunder Badge is acquired in [[Vermilion Gym]], they will not yet be usable.

==Notable miscellanies==
===Escape Rope-vendor===
Next to [[Mt. Moon]]'s entrance, an [[Escape Rope]]-vendor named Ned will sell you 5 Escape Ropes for {{Pdollar}}2,000; this saves a net expenditure of {{Pdollar}}750 if you were to buy 5 from [[Pokémarts]] or [[Department Store|department stores]], since they are standardly retailed for {{Pdollar}}5,500 apiece.

They can only be bought from him once per day.
===Pokémon Center===
A [[Pokémon Center]] exists herein, providing its more stationary trainers an area to heal and modify their lineup as a more proximate [[Pokémon Center]] to [[Mt. Moon]] and the grass on Route 3.

A Magikarp salesman—a nod to the duplicitous salesman that was depicted [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Magikarp_salesman in the anime]—will sell you a [[Magikarp]] for {{Pdollar}}2,500 if there is an empty space in your party. If you show him the [[Magikarp]] after purchasing it, he will randomly teach it [[Hydro Pump]], [[Reversal]], [[Bounce]], or [[Dragon Rage]]. While this [[Magikarp]] will have a greater [[Special Counterparts#Shiny Pokémon|shiny]] rate than those [[Magikarp]] found in the wild, this source is ultimately discommended unless you want to expedite this Pokémon's acquisition, since the [[Old Rod]] will be claimable in [[Vermilion City]] to fish this Pokémon.

===Mt. Moon digway===
A [[Digways|digway]] is burrowed on Mt. Moon, thereby providing an expeditious shortcut between Route 3 and Route 4.

As are the provisos with any other digway, you must have a Pokémon with at least 150 [[happiness]] points and the [[Dig]] technique on-hand in addition to interacting with the outlet on Route 4 in order for this digway to be usable.
