Description

In the anime
In Clefairy and the Moon Stone, a giant Moon Stone appeared deep within Mt. Moon, being worshipped by a group of Clefairy who lived there. It was soon stolen by Team Rocket, and ultimately ended up being blown up; the shards from the shattered giant Moon Stone rained down on the Clefairy and caused some of them to evolve into Clefable. In this episode, the characters speculated that the Moon Stone was how various Pokémon—Clefairy in particular—arrived in the Pokémon world. Another giant Moon Stone was later seen in the same location in A Real Cleffa-Hanger.
A Moon Stone appeared in a flashback in Delcatty Got Your Tongue?, evolving Dr. Abby's Skitty into a Delcatty.

The focus of the chapter To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That Is the Question! was Evolution stones, including the Moon Stone.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
A Moon Stone was first mentioned by Professor Oak in Gyarados Splashes In! as a rock with a crescent moon-shaped indentation that boosts a Pokémon's power immensely. In the next round, Team Rocket searched for one in Mt. Moon. However, it was Red who eventually found it. In The Winged Legends, Red used his Moon Stone to evolve Green's Clefairy into a Clefable in order to fight Thu-Fi-Zer during the Silph Co. showdown with Team Rocket.
In Guile from Mawile, Ruby's Skitty evolved into a Delcatty due to being exposed to one of Steven's Moon Stones.

In the TCG
- Main article: Moon Stone (Vending S1)
The Moon Stone was released as a Trainer card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the Japanese Original Era with Extended Sheet 1. The card was only ever released in Japanese and has never been reprinted. It allows the player to add 1 Colorless Evolution card from their deck to their hand.
Unrelated to the other TCG card, a Moon Stone appears as a held item on the Secret Wonders Clefairy card. It allows Clefairy to evolve on the turn it is played.
Trivia
- From Generation IV onward, the Moon Ball is more likely to catch Pokémon that evolve via Moon Stone. While this was intended to be the case in Generation II, the Poké Ball always has 1× effectiveness due to a bug.
- Through a glitch in the Generation I games, Pokémon that would normally require an Evolution stone to evolve can be evolved without it, provided that the Pokémon levels up in the battle and the player has sent out a specific Pokémon in the same battle. In the case of the Moon Stone, this Pokémon is Exeggutor.
- The Moon Stone shares its name with an actual gemstone.
- In the Chuang Yi translation of Pokémon Pocket Monsters the Moon Stone is called Moon Rock.
