Pokemon Moon

Lunala's handheld adventure

Pokémon Moon is a 2016 role-playing video game for the Nintendo 3DS, released alongside Pokémon Sun.

Set in the Hawaii-inspired Alola region, the game features a day-night cycle offset from the console's clock, with Moon running twelve hours behind real time.

Players catch and train creatures called Pokémon while navigating island trials rather than traditional gym battles.

The paired releases differ primarily in available Pokémon and certain story elements.
