Effect
If an Eevee levels up with high enough friendship while the Moon Shard is in the player's Bag, it will evolve into Umbreon. This consumes the Moon Shard.
Any Eevee obtained in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness or traded from a Generation III game can evolve into Umbreon using the Moon Shard. The Evolution can be cancelled by pressing B or prevented by holding an Everstone, after which the Moon Shard will remain in the player's Bag. In battle, if Eevee levels up then faints afterwards, or the player whites out, the Evolution won't be triggered. If multiple Eevee level up while meeting the Evolution requirements, the first Eevee in the party will evolve; if the Evolution is cancelled for the first Eevee, the next Eevee in the party will evolve instead. The Moon Shard is consumed after one Eevee evolves.
If the save data is altered to add multiple Moon Shards, Eevee that level up in a battle while meeting the Evolution requirements will evolve for as many Moon Shards as there are in the Bag; if there are more Moon Shards than there are Eevee that meet the Evolution criteria, the remaining Moon Shards won't be consumed. If both the Sun Shard and the Moon Shard are in the Bag, Eevee's Evolution into Umbreon will be prioritized over Espeon and any such Moon Shards will be consumed with each Eevee that evolves into Umbreon; if there are no more Moon Shards, any remaining Eevee that meet the Evolution criteria will evolve into Espeon depending on the remaining Sun Shards.

Trivia
- The Moon Shard is the only possible way to evolve an Eevee into an Umbreon in Orre, due to the lack of time-based events in the games taking place in said region.
- Since only a single Sun Shard or Moon Shard is obtainable per game, the player has a single opportunity to evolve Eevee into Espeon or Umbreon (although more of those Pokémon can be traded from other Generation III games) and there is no way to have both Shards in the Bag at the same time.
- Evolution via the Sun Shard or Moon Shard is the only Evolution method applicable to Pokémon caught in a mainline game that is exclusive to a spin-off game.
