Pokémon Sun and Moon/Version differences
From StrategyWiki, the video game walkthrough and strategy guide wiki
There are a number of differences between Pokemon Sun and Moon.
Minor Differences
- On the Melemele Verdant Cave Trial, you'll have to fight Totem Gumshoos in Sun and Totem Alolan Rattata 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.
