The Moon orbits the Earth, while the Earth is orbiting the Sun. Because the Moon is moving, we see it in different positions relative to the Sun; we call this the "phases of the Moon". Only when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun will we see a "full" moon.

I need one more moon stone to evolve my clefairy but i cant find one ive searched mt moon and i could only get three which i got the nido's and wiglytuff does anybody know where i can get one more?

Go to the spot in Mount Moon where you got the Fossils. Go back down those stairs and to the right, you'll see a rock. If you press A on it you get a Moon Stone. :D -If you've already found both of the moon stones in Mount Moon, try the Rocket Hideout, Route 2, or the Mansion. Of course, you could always trade for one.
