Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! Playthrough 6: The Rockets in Mt. Moon
0We then enter Mt. Moon and encounter Team Rocket along the way. I didn't mention the Jigglypuff in the Pokémon Center was because I ran out of space to include it in the description of the previous video. Mt. Moon is infested with Zubat and Geodude, as well as the rare Clefairy.
As the rest of the description, I recommend watching the full video before reading past this point of the description.
Mt. Moon is a very large cave and you encounter Jessie and James, along with their Meowth who for some reason cannot talk in this game, even though Team Rocket's Meowth is the most well known talking Pokémon in the Anime.
For the encounters, it's never a cave without Zubat, one of the most annoying Pokémon ever. Zubat is very annoying to catch as it flies around the screen. The Pokémon can be encountered between Level 5 to 10, so if you catch a Zubat above Level 9, it will have Bite. It has Wing Attack right away, and it can learn Confuse Ray at Level 17, which pairs up well with Zubat's good Speed stat. When it evolves into Golbat, it will learn Crunch, and it can learn Leech Life at Level 31, Toxic at Level 40, and Air Slash at Level 51. Golbat is very well rounded, and unfortunately you can't get Crobat in this game, because Crobat is not in the Kanto Pokédex, so even if Golbat has good Speed, it misses out on the high Speed stat it would have as Crobat. I wouldn't recommend using Zubat, all it's good for is using Toxic and Confuse Ray for whittling down opponents.
Next up is Geodude, which is a solid Rock/Ground-type Pokémon with good Attack and Defense. It will have Rock Throw at Level 9, and for its level up moves, it gets Stealth Rock at Level 12, Self-Destruct at Level 19, and Rock Slide at Level 23. Once it evolves into Graveler, it can learn Earthquake at Level 31, Double-Edge at Level 39, and Explosion at Level 47. Through trade, you can evolve Graveler into Golem. Golem doesn't miss on the moves it would learn as a Graveler, so you can evolve Graveler into Golem right away. Golem has good Attack and Defense, but its Speed and Special stats aren't great. Geodude is a great defensive Pokémon in the early game, and it makes a great team member throughout the game, so I recommend it.
Paras might be looked down on for being one of the worst Gen 1 Pokémon, but there are some advantages to it, it learns the powder moves, but it is outclassed by Butterfree as a powder user. It has Absorb at Level 9, Slash at Level 19, Leech Life at Level 23, but if you can keep it as a Paras until Level 27, it will learn Spore, the best Sleep-inducing move in the game, but unfortunately Paras and its evolved form Parasect are very slow. It would learn Spore at Level 33 as a Parasect, and it gets X-Scissor at Level 43. Parasect has good Attack, balanced Defenses, but terrible Speed. I would say Parasect is a decent Pokémon, but you must watch out for Fire and Flying-type moves, and it is the only Spore user in the game.
Then we have the rare Clefairy, which is a Fairy-type Pokémon, I recommend teaching it Headbutt over Pound, and it gets Minimize at Level 10. It gets Amnesia at Level 16, Metronome at Level 18 if you want to have fun with it, Body Slam at Level 24, and Moonblast at Level 28. You can find a hidden Moon Stone, which respawns daily, and Clefairy can be evolved into Clefable right away. In the second basement, there is a 1% encounter with wild Clefable, even though catching a Clefable makes it a great addition, it unfortunately misses out on the moves it would learn as a Clefairy, so Clefable is very reliant on TMs. Its has very balanced stats, so I would recommend Clefairy, if you are patient enough to wait until Level 28 for Moonblast.
Speaking of 1% encounters, Onix is unfortunately not great, don't bother using it over Geodude. The Defense might be good, but Onix has terrible Attack. While it starts with Rock Throw, Bind and Stealth Rock, it does get Screech, Rock Slide, Earthquake and Iron Tail for Level up moves. All Onix is good for is Pokédex filler, the good thing is that you can ride on Onix, and it is very hard to catch, so all that hard work will end up being for nothing.
The special spawn for Mt. Moon is the elusive Chansey, while tough to catch, Chansey award a ton of experience when caught. It has massive HP and great at taking Special hits, but it has the lowest Attack and Defense out of all Pokémon in the game. It is known for using Soft-Boiled, and all of Chansey's offensive level up moves are Physical, so Chansey will be relying on TMs for good moves. I wouldn't recommend Chansey in the long run, it's more of a Pokémon you would use in Competitive Multiplayer.
At the end of Mt. Moon, you can choose between Lord Helix or Lord Dome, to those who don't get the reference, it's from Twitch Plays Pokémon where the Helix Fossil and Dome Fossil are very infamous memes where they are considered Gods. You can only pick one and it isn't until Cinnabar Island that you can restore those Fossils.
