==In the anime==

In ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', a giant Moon Stone appeared deep within [[Mt. Moon]], being worshipped by a group of {{p|Clefairy}} who lived there. It was soon stolen by {{TRT}}, 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 {{p|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 ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]''.

A Moon Stone appeared in a fantasy in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'', where it was revealed that {{an|Lusamine}} had used one to evolve her Clefairy into {{TP|Lusamine|Clefable}}.

==In the TCG==

Unrelated to the other TCG card, a Moon Stone appears as a [[held item]] on the {{TCG|Secret Wonders}} {{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Clefairy|83}} 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 Moon Ball always has 1× effectiveness there due to a bug.

* The {{wp|Moonstone (gemstone)|Moon Stone}} shares its name with an actual {{wp|gemstone}}.

* In the [[Chuang Yi]] translation of [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], the Moon Stone is called "Moon Rock".
