Interesting note: this card received an errata to include Pokemon with 70HP.
From PokeGym:
Mt. Moon
* Mt. Moon should read: “Any Pokémon (both yours and your opponent’s) with maximum HP of 70 or less can’t use any Poké-Powers.” This errata replaces text of “less than 70” with “70 or less”. If a Pokémon has a maximum HP of 70, that Pokémon cannot use a Poké-POWER while this Stadium card is in play. (Oct 1, 2004 PUI Announcements)

Fun card in draft formats for shutting down pesky lake trio shenanigans. Wish there was something similar for shutting down Claydols.

What were the main cards affected by this card when it was released?
Anon
Upon release, it could be played to shut off the Delcatty RS/Magneton DR draw engine, but its main use emerged one set later, when Team Rocket Returns came out. Both Dark Dragonair and Dark Electrode had 70 HP, so it countered the deck hard if the Dragtrode player didn’t have a counter stadium ready to go. Six months after that, a much more broadly useful anti-Dragtrode stadium would be released (Battle Frontier), and Mt. Moon never saw play again.

Thank you!

I suppose you could still play Mt. Moon if you were a Pidgeot deck? Although Queendom won the 2005 World Championships master’s division with Desert Ruins, as that was more useful against Medicham ex.
