{{p|Rockruff}} evolves into {{form|Lycanroc|Dusk Form}} {{p|Lycanroc}} from 5:00&nbsp;p.m. to 5:59&nbsp;p.m. (17:00 - 17:59) only (opposite the real time in Pokémon Ultra Moon).

===Generation II===
{{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.

===Generation III===
====Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the time-based evolutions are available even though there are no visible day and night periods in the overworld.

====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen====
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.

===Generation IV===
In [[Generation IV]], many new Pokémon evolutions are influenced by the time of day; for example, {{p|Gligar}} will only evolve into {{p|Gliscor}} at night.

===Generation VII===
====Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], which is set in perpetual daytime, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Rattata}} evolves regardless of the time of day.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
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.

====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, 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.

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Colosseum===
In {{g|Colosseum}}, {{p|Eevee}} is unable to evolve into either {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} due to the absence of the time feature. However, the player character [[Wes]] starts the game with both Espeon and Umbreon. 

===Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness===
In {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, due to the absence of the time feature, Eevee can only evolve into Espeon or Umbreon via the [[Sun Shard|Sun]] or [[Moon Shard]]s, respectively, a method that is not time-dependent.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
In [[Pokémon GO]], there are several time-based evolutions.
