The Sun Shard and Moon Shard are special key items present in Pokémon XD. Their only use is to evolve Eevee into Espeon or Umbreon, respectively.
These items were included in XD due to Eevee's (then) unique method of evolution: happiness along with time of day. While Eevee can become an Espeon or Umbreon in other games through use of the realtime clock programmed into them, and each of the two is automatically available in Pokémon Colosseum, in XD, the GameCube's clock is not connected to the game time, thus leaving the game as timeless as Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. As the developers did not want to force players to wait until trades with Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald were available late in the game, unlike what occurred in FireRed and LeafGreen (where Pokémon could not become non-Generation I Pokémon by evolution until after the National Pokédex had been obtained anyway), these items were made available to the player as a choice at the same time as the Fire Stone, Water Stone, and Thunderstone, which allow the player to evolve Eevee into its Generation I evolutions.
The items may be related to the Sun Stone and Moon Stone; however, the connection is unknown. But it was later discovered, a cheating device can be used to obtain a Sun Shard and Moon Shard in any of the 5 III Generation games. But since the item is not programed into any of the Generation III games, it shows up as a ?????????? item, with a description saying "????", it's sprite picture is just a ? mark. It also will not evolve Eevee into Espeon or Umbreon in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen unfortunatly. But since the GBA Games don't recognize it as a key item, it can be given to a Pokemon and traded to XD. The game will recognize the item and you can take it and evolve another Eevee into Espeon or Umbreon.
