Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon/Version Differences

There are a lot of differences in Pokemon between Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

Minor Differences

 * On Illima's Trial, you'll have to fight Totem in Sun and Totem Alolan  in Moon.
 * Sun and Moon are set 12 hours apart, so Sun follows the system clock, whereas Moon's in-game time is transposed 12 hours from the system clock. For instance, if it is 10AM on the system time, the in-game time in Sun will be 10AM, but in Moon it is 10PM.
