'''Time''' is a mechanic in the [[Pokémon games]]. It was introduced in [[Generation II]] and has been a major component of almost all games released afterward. Time affects both the [[evolution]] of several {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and whether certain Pokémon can be found in the [[wild Pokémon|wild]]. Some events may take place at a specific time of day, or on a particular [[days of the week|day of the week]]. {{g|Legends: Arceus}} and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} use their own in-game time system and don't depend on the player or console's real time.

{{Berries}} are governed by the time function, maturing after a certain amount of time has passed. Much like [[weather]], the games' time function has been revised and expanded in each subsequent generation after its introduction.

==Generation II==
[[File:MorningGS.png|thumb|right|250px|{{rt|29|Johto}} in the morning]]
In [[Generation II]], the changing time of day is one of the games' distinctive features. Wild encounters vary based on the time of day; several Pokémon were designed with this in mind, such as {{p|Hoothoot}} and {{p|Noctowl}}.

At the [[new game|beginning]] of all three games, the player is required to set the clock, even before selecting a name. The default time is 10:00 a.m (10:00). When the player speaks to their {{jo|Mom}} at the start of the game, the player must specify whether it is currently {{wp|daylight saving time}} or not; they can adjust the clock for entering or exiting daylight savings time.

The clock can be reset through a code in all three games, although it is more difficult to do so in {{game|Crystal}}. For the [[Virtual Console]] versions, adjusting the time on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] clock does not affect the in-game time.

{{p|Eevee}} was given two [[List of cross-generational evolution families|new evolutions]] to take advantage of the changing time: {{p|Espeon}}, which it would become if its [[friendship]] maxed out during the morning or day, and {{p|Umbreon}}, which it would become if its friendship maxed during the night.

|}

====Morning====
Morning, referred to as <sc>Morn</sc> in-game, is the time from 4:00 a.m. to 9:59 a.m. (04:00 - 09:59). Many [[Pokémon Trainer]]s are still asleep and there are many {{type|Bug}} Pokémon in the wild. However, the wild Pokémon that appear in the Morning are mostly the same as Day, with only slight differences. During the Morning, the rising sun tints the entire landscape with a yellowish hue.
[[File:DayGS.png|thumb|right|200px|Daytime near the water.]]

====Day====
Day is the time from 10:00 a.m. to 5:59 p.m (10:00 - 17:59). The landscape is not tinted at all during this time, making it seem closer to the [[Generation I]] games (which do not have a time system). Day is the busiest time, as most people are up and about at this time and a wide variety of Pokémon appear.

====Night====
Night, referred to as <sc>Nite</sc> in-game, is the time from 6:00 p.m. to 3:59 a.m. (18:00 - 03:59). Wild Pokémon battles taking place at night use a slightly different music track. The world is colored a bluish-purple, and buildings have their lights on. If interacted with, the [[Pokémon Center Nurse]] will note that the player is still active despite the time, before healing the party.

[[File:NightGS.png|thumb|200px|right|Nighttime. Note the building lights illuminating brightly.]]

===Days of the week===
{{main|Days of the week}}
When the [[Pokégear]] is first received, the player's mother will ask them to set the day of the week as well. This affects several things, such as the [[National Park]]'s [[Bug-Catching Contest]] and which of the [[Week Siblings]] appears, though not much else.

===Resetting the clock===
In the Western and Korean versions, a secret function for resetting the game's clock that requires a password may be accessed from the title screen. The password is generated from the player's [[Original Trainer|name]], [[Trainer ID number]], and current amount of [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] ([https://bl4cksh4rk.github.io/Pokemon-GSC-Clock-Password-Generator/ Blackshark's GSC Clock Password Generator]). The game will then reboot and the [[main menu]] will return the "TIME NOT SET" [[error message]]. Proceeding will then load a screen in which the player can adjust the clock's data, including the [[Days of the week|weekday]]. Due to being based on the Japanese version, the password only takes into account the first five characters of the player's name.

While the function for manually resetting the clock is not available in the Japanese versions, the main menu error and the actual clock adjustment screen exist in all versions as they are used for when the clock data is invalid or corrupted.

====Western Gold and Silver====
Hold '''↓''', '''SELECT''', and '''B'''.

====Western Crystal and Korean Gold and Silver====
# Hold '''↓''', '''SELECT''', and '''B'''
# Release '''↓''' and '''B''', while still holding '''SELECT'''
# Hold '''←''' and '''↑''', while still holding '''SELECT'''
# Release '''SELECT'''

==Generation III==
Unlike Generation II, [[Generation III]] had no separate time periods, or even an ability to check the time in-game unless the player traveled back to [[Littleroot Town]], where they had set an analog clock at the beginning of the game. The overworld lighting does not change during different times of the day. Also, unlike Generation II, the time-based events were very few and extremely far between, with the clock mostly running to keep track of the growth of planted [[Berry|Berries]] ([[Berry glitch|although this was not completely foolproof]]). Additionally, there was no way to change the clock in this generation, not even for daylight saving time.

There were, however, some time-based functions in the games. For example, [[Shoal Cave]]'s water level would change every six hours, at 3:00 and 9:00 a.m. and p.m. (03:00, 09:00, 15:00, 21:00). Just the same, Eevee would be able to evolve into Espeon if the in-game time was between 12:00 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. (12:00 - 23:59). Eevee would be able to evolve into Umbreon if the in-game time was between 12:00 a.m. and 11:59 a.m. (00:00 - 11:59).

|}

Although a small part of the game, some events occur on a daily basis. Some NPCs give the player one Berry every day. [[Lilycove Department Store]] gives out Pokémon Loto Tickets for the [[Pokémon Lottery Corner]], with the winning number changing daily. An old man who lives in [[Pacifidlog Town]] looks out for {{gdis|Mirage Island|III}}, and will, every day, generate a random number between 0 and 65535 and if this number matches the personality value of any of the Pokémon in the party, Mirage Island will appear in the game.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, however, the time function is completely absent, allowing it to be more like the [[Generation I]] games. This also makes it impossible for Eevee to evolve into either Espeon or Umbreon in these games. In order to do so, the player would have to trade Eevee to {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire}}, or {{v2|Emerald}} and have it evolve in one of those games. The same holds true for {{g|Colosseum}}, where Espeon and Umbreon are obtainable as [[starter Pokémon]]. In {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, Eevee can only be evolved into Espeon or Umbreon by a method that is not time-dependent, the [[Sun Shard|Sun]] and [[Moon Shard]]s.

==Generation IV==
[[File:Gen IV Time change.png|frame|The overworld as it cycles through the day]]
In [[Generation IV]], the time function returned fully with many features from Generation II, including changes in the overworld lighting and in the availability of wild Pokémon at different times of day, being {{pkmn2|Nocturnal}}, {{pkmn2|Matutinal}}, or {{pkmn2|Diurnal}}. However, this time it uses the [[Nintendo DS]]'s system clock. Many new Pokémon have evolutions influenced by the time of day; for example, {{p|Gligar}} will only evolve into {{p|Gliscor}} at night. The three time periods from Generation II return, with smoother transitions between them.

A calendar and day of the week system are also present. The game keeps track of the date of capture of every Pokémon. Some in-game events are influenced by the day of the week; for example, {{p|Drifloon}} only appear in the [[Valley Windworks]] on Fridays, and battles with {{ga|Barry}} in the [[Battle Zone]] can only be initiated on weekends.

The [[Pokédex]] also has a new function that displays where Pokémon are found in each time period. When it is first opened, the [[Sinnoh Pokédex]] will also default to the current time of day.

Additionally, in  {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} only, the generic battle transitions change during nighttime (except for wild Pokémon in water). Cave battles are always treated as if it was nighttime, but places with cavelike encounters such as [[Sprout Tower]] or [[Ilex Forest]] properly account for the time.

|}

====Morning====
Morning tints everything a pale blue color, changing from dark blue of night into bright blue of daytime. Morning lasts from 4:00 a.m. to 9:59 a.m. (04:00 - 9:59).

====Day====
Everything takes on its natural color during the day. Day lasts from 10:00 a.m. to 7:59 p.m. (10:00 - 19:59), with twilight lasting from around 5:00 p.m. (17:00) until night sets in. Twilight has its own set of eyecatches.

====Night====
Much like its Generation II counterpart, the world is dark, but pockmarked by the bright lights of buildings. Night lasts from 8:00 p.m. to 3:59 a.m. (20:00 - 03:59), with lights in buildings turning off at 12:00 a.m. (00:00). A majority of areas in [[Sinnoh]] have slightly different music during the night, including [[Pokémon Center]]s, though this is not true in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

==Generation V==
[[File:Gen V time change {{#switch: {{#time: F}}|January|May|September=spring|February|June|October=summer|March|July|November=autumn|winter}}.png|frame|The overworld as it cycles through the day during in-game {{#switch: {{#time: F}}|January|May|September=spring|February|June|October=summer|March|July|November=autumn|winter}}.]]
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the concept of [[Season (mechanic)|seasons]] was introduced. These are akin to the seasons in the real world, only to allow for less restrictive gameplay, the seasons change with every month.

Time of day now varies depending on the current season. As in HeartGold and SoulSilver, day is divided in four different parts: morning, when floodlights in the cities switch off and the sun starts to rise; daytime, when everything is lightened; evening, when the floodlights switch on in the cities and everything starts to be lit with an orange hue; and then nighttime, which is characterized by a darker landscape, both in the overworld map and in battle.

In favor of seasons, Pokémon are no longer found at different times of day, meaning Pokémon that can be found in the current season can be found anytime during the season.

==Generation VI==
Time continued to be based on the system clock in Generation VI, now using the 3DS's clock to track time. Seasons from Generation V did not carry over, however. Therefore, the intervals for when morning, day, evening, and night occur are now constant. Unlike in previous generations, where the time period transitions lasted a few seconds, they may last up to 15 minutes, allowing less abrupt changes in the overworld lighting. If the 3DS clock is changed, time-based events will not occur for 24 hours and any Berries will reset.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} the game always starts at daytime, the 3DS's clock being taken into account only after the player interacts with the analog clock in their room.

==Generation VII==
===Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun}}, the clock functions conventionally, matching the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s clock; however, in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon}}, the game runs its time offset by 12 hours from the 3DS's clock. In Pokémon Moon and Ultra Moon, this difference mainly affects the day-night cycle. Events that refresh daily still refresh when the 3DS's clock hits midnight (or noon in-game in Moon and Ultra Moon) and events that rely on the day of the week correlate to the day according to the 3DS's clock.

Specific scenes in the game, such as in the beginning of the game, will be set at specific times, with the clock effectively frozen until that part of the story is completed. Regardless of the games, the player is eventually able to travel to a world that has the opposite time by using the [[Ultra Wormhole]] at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]/[[Altar of the Moone|Moone]].

Different Pokémon can once again be found depending on the time of day. In the [[Rotom Pokédex]], these species are denoted with a different icon when viewed in the Habitat menu. Certain areas in [[Alola]] have slightly different background music depending on the time of day, such as [[Hau'oli City]].

====Times of day====
Note that these times refer to the time on the 3DS's clock. That is, within Pokémon Moon and Ultra Moon, "day" still starts at 6 a.m. (06:00) as far as the game world is concerned. This may be seen at any place that acknowledges the time, such as the [[Pokémon Center Café]].

===Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!===

Despite [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] having a few time-based features, they are set in perpetual daytime, much like the original {{game|Yellow}}. Due to this, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Rattata}} evolves regardless of the time of day in these games.

==Generation VIII==
===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, time is set to specific times of day during the main story as a narrative device. This affects all areas of [[Galar]] outside of the [[Wild Area]], and even influences evolution. However, daily events (such as the [[Battle Café]] matches) still reset at midnight according to the system time. After the player becomes {{pkmn|Champion}}, time is no longer pre-set outside the Wild Area, and functions solely based on the system time, even during post-game story scenes like the arc involving [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]].

===Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Are these time ranges identical to Gen IV, or do they match SWSH instead?}}

===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
{{g|Legends: Arceus}} has its own time system, independent from the system clock. A minute in real life corresponds to an hour in-game. The player can instantly change the current time of day, and even skip to the next day, by resting at their [[Jubilife_Village#Your_quarters|quarters]] or the bed present at each [[Base camp]].

The moon phase now play a significant role, unlike in previous installments where they were purely cosmetic. {{p|Ursaring}} can only evolve into {{p|Ursaluna}} by using a [[Peat Block]] during a full moon. A full moon is also required to activate the event for [[Task#Requests|Request 67: The Clefairy's Moonlit Dance]]. There are eight different moon phases, and the moon phase changes every two nights.

|}

====Changing time====
The time can be changed by going to a [[Base camp]] or the player's bed in [[Jubilife Village#Your quarters|Jubilife Village]] and choosing to rest until a certain time. Selecting "Just a little while" will heal the player's [[party]] members, but not advance the current time. Selecting the remaining options will advance the day/night cycle to the following times:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{hisui color}}; border:3px solid #{{hisui color dark}}"
|-
! style="background:#{{hisui color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Until morning

| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 8:00 p.m.<br>(20:00)
|}

Resting in this manner will however reset the current state in the area and despawn any time-specific Pokémon encounters, as well as resetting timings for [[space-time distortion]]s and other similar timed events.

==Generation IX==
===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
{{g|Scarlet and Violet}} have their own time system, which with 1 real-life day equal to 20 in-game days. This time can be influenced by the player by altering the system clock prior to opening the game<ref>[https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1657628501917442052 Scarlet and Violet Day/Night Cycle Mechanics by Atrius97, via Twitter]</ref>, with the time value being determined when the game is first opened.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1657611236694196225</ref>. However, the day/night cycle does not begin until the player loads into the overworld, so any changes to the system clock while the game is loading or at the in-game start menu have no effect, the game will load the time from when the game was initially opened. The day/night cycle lasts 72 real minutes in total, repeating 20 times over the course of 24 hours.

Opening the map by pressing Y will show an icon in the top-center of the map<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1657609709019623426</ref> indicating the time of day. This icon will dynamically update to show the current time period, however Morning does not have its own unique icon, instead sharing an icon with Day.<ref>https://twitter.com/Atrius97/status/1657628499975479296</ref>

There are two exceptions to the day/night cycle, the first being that during the tutorial, the time will be locked to Day until visiting [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} for the first time and obtaining {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}.
[[Area Zero]] is also unaffected by the day/night cycle (with {{p|Flutter Mane}} being the only exception due to a [[Area_Zero#cite_note-1|quirk]]<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1647304950358106114 Flutter Mane Spawning Mechanics Quirk]</ref>), with time-exclusive species and forms spawning regardless of the current time in the rest of Paldea.

The current time is shared between all players in the same instance while playing in co-op via [[Union Circle]], determined by the player hosting the group.

==Time-specific events==
:''Please note that this section relates only to events that occur at specific times but not on a particular day. For events that occur only on specific days of the week please see [[Days of the week]].''

===Time-based evolutions===
With the introduction of time in Generation II, time-based evolutions were also introduced. The table below summarizes the in-game times during which [[:Category:Pokémon that evolve based on time|Pokémon that evolve based on time]] can evolve in various games across the generations. Since time was not implemented in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, these Pokémon cannot evolve in those games.

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, prior to becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}, the time of day outside of the [[Wild Area]] is determined by the player's current point in the story, not the system time. This affects both the lighting of the environment and time-based evolutions. However, even before becoming Champion, the time of day in the Wild Area is exclusively determined by the system time.

===Mystery Dungeon series===
In the {{g|Mystery Dungeon series}} a day has passed every time the player comes back from an adventure or plays [[Sentry Duty]]. During the story, one day can incorporate clearing several dungeons in a row with save points in between.

Clearing [[Blizzard Island]] gives the player the choice to go through [[Crevice Cave]] or not, if the player chooses not to a day has passed. When going to [[Hidden Land]], a day never passes unless the player leaves back to [[Treasure Town]] or completes [[Temporal Tower]].

===Pokémon Conquest===

Opposing armies will only attack at the very start of the month, except for one time in ''The Legend of Ransei'' where Shingen or Kenshin attack after they decline a battle with the {{player}}.

===Pokémon GO===
In {{g|GO}}, day and night changes depend on sunset and sunrise in the player's location. The difference between day and night is the appearance, the music, and the evolution of some Pokémon. Additionally, {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s do not spawn during a specific range of hours at night. Sunny [[weather]] during the day becomes Clear weather during the night; the effects of the two, however, are identical.

If a [[Mystery Box]] is acquired and opened, three days must pass before it can be opened again.
