What are the differences between Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon

pokemon-sun-moonversion differences

Are there any differences between Pokémon Sun & Moon? Obviously there are changes in the Pokémon you can catch in either version as well as the legendaries, so including those are there also additional changes such as NPC changes, areas you can visit, specific mechanics?

Best Answer

Serebii has a summary of all of the differences between the two versions.

In Pokemon Sun the first totem pokemon you encounter is Gumshoos whilst in Moon you encounter an aloan Raticate.

In Pokemon Sun you have the ability to meet and battle Kiawe whilst in Moon you can meet and battle Mallow.

You can also get different stores in the festival plaza. You can usually get them in both games to begin with but the higher level versions of them are only available in one version.

In the Battle Tree you have the ability to scout trainers. You can only scout Plumeria, Sina and Kiawe in Sun and you can only scout Guzma, Dexio, Malloww. As far as I know other characters can be scouted in both games.
