Mountain
(Redirected from Mountains)

A mountain is a large, natural land formation rising up from the ground with steep slopes and one or more peaks or summits. A line of mountains forms a mountain range. Volcanoes are mountains with an opening in which lava, ash, and gas can escape. Many mountains provide access to caves, such as those housing Victory Road.
Mountains are often home to Rock-, Ground-, and Steel-type Pokémon. Snow-capped mountains are often home to Ice-type Pokémon. Additionally, certain mountains are home to one or more Legendary Pokémon. Some mountains contain special magnetic fields or other unique properties which allow certain Pokémon to evolve.

Kanto
- Mt. Moon - A cavernous mountain standing between Pewter City and Cerulean City. Well known as a place where Clefairy live and a Moon Stone once fell to from space. Fossils have also been found here. A Square lies on top of the mountain, where a souvenir shop is open at daytime and Clefairy sometimes dance at nighttime.
- Rock Mountain - A tall, rocky mountain located on Route 10. The cave inside the mountain is pitch-black, requiring a light source such as the move Flash in order to be effectively navigated.
- Evolution Mountain - An animated series-only mountain located near Stone Town. Known as a rich source of Evolution stones.
- Mt. Hideaway - An animated series-only mountain located near Pallet Town. The local Onix are known to grow into gigantic proportions. Bruno of the Indigo Elite Four is known to use the mountain as a training ground.
- Tree of Beginning - An animated series-only location located within viewing distance from the town of Rota. A tall mass of land in the shape of a giant tree. The "tree" acts like a living organism, deploying agents similar to white blood cells against any intruders, most notably humans, while Pokémon are not considered a threat, including those not native to the area. The Mythical Pokémon Mew lives here, as do the legendary giants Regirock, Registeel, and Regice.
- Mt. Spirit - A mountain exclusive to The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga. It stands near Fuchsia City, with its summit being the finish line for the annual Fuchsia Free-For-All Race.
Sevii Islands

Johto
- Mt. Mortar - A cavernous mountain that is located between Ecruteak City and Mahogany Town. A tall waterfall pours down in its main chamber. Kiyo from Saffron City's Fighting Dojo is known to use the depths of the mountain as a place to train in solitude.
- Mt. Silver - The tallest mountain in Johto that stands on the border between it and Kanto. Many terrifyingly strong Pokémon, including Moltres, live here, so access is granted only for a select few. The summit of the mountain is constantly covered in snow and is where the legendary Trainer Red has been hiding ever since abdicating his Champion throne.

- Snowtop Mountain - An animated series-only mountain located between Ecruteak City and Olivine City. A snowy mountain well known as a roosting place for Articuno. The world's highest Pokémon Center is also located here.
- Mount Quena - An animated series-only mountain. The summit of the mountain houses Clarity Lake, which is the source of extremely pure water that pours down the mountain into the surrounding areas. Due to the remoteness of the mountain's summit, Mewtwo chose it as its hiding place, until it was discovered by Team Rocket, leading to the villainous team temporarily invading the mountain.
Hoenn

- Mt. Chimney - An active volcano located north of Lavaridge Town. Wind pushes the volcanic ash coming out of the volcano's crater north to Route 113. The summit can be accessed using the free cable car service. The southern side of the mountain is known as the Jagged Pass. In Pokémon Emerald, the Jagged Pass houses the secret entrance to Team Magma's hideout, which, in turn, leads to the sleeping place of the Legendary Pokémon Groudon deep within the volcano.
- Mt. Pyre - An island with a tall mountain, located on Route 122. It is well known as a burial ground for dead Pokémon, housing graves both inside and outside the mountain. At the summit, an old couple guards the Red and Blue Orbs in secret.

- Kirikiri Mountain - An animated series-only area located between Littleroot Town and Fortree City. The foggy mountain area houses the hidden ruins of the ancient Baltoy civilization.
- Camerupt Point - An animated series-only mountain range standing near Volley Town. It has earned its name from the twin peaks that resemble the humps of a Camerupt.
Sinnoh
- Mount Coronet - A vast mountain range that splits the Sinnoh region in two from the middle. Many tunnels run through the mountain, though only one, long path leads to the summit. A special magnetic field is present all over the mountain, enabling certain Pokémon to evolve here. The summit of the mountain is where the entire Sinnoh region is said to have begun. In the ancient times of the Hisui region, the Temple of Sinnoh, dedicated to the revered noble Pokémon, stood at the summit, but a cataclysmic event left the temple in ruins known in the present day as the Spear Pillar. Those possessing the mythical Azure Flute and climbing to the summit are granted access to the Hall of Origin, the domain of the Mythical Pokémon Arceus.
- Stark Mountain - A volcanic mountain located at the Battle Zone. The deepest part of the mountain houses the Magma Stone and is known as a resting place for Heatran.
- Metagross Mountain - An animated series-only mountain known as the home of an unusually colored Metagross.

Unova
- Reversal Mountain - A volcano standing between Lentimas Town and Undella Town. In Pokémon Black 2, the volcano is dormant and mostly filled with rainwater, while in Pokémon White 2, it is active and full of red-hot magma. Heatran is known to dwell within the depths of the volcano.
- Twist Mountain - Owned by Clay, Twist Mountain is a mining site located between Mistralton City and Icirrus City. Extensive mining has left the mountain full of tunnels and a deep hole at the center. In winter, the center of the mountain is filled with snow, drastically changing how the area can be traversed.
