I'm down to needing 3 unowns -- ?, B, and O, I know what islands they are on
but is there a certain time of day they can be caught?

No because the time of day only matters in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald.

It also affects the evolution of Evee to Espeon/Umbreon. Supposedly it
also affects the evolution of Wurmple to Silkoon/Cascoon according to
it's nature.

Yes. That was great fun - though a little frustrating since I'm a night
person by nature. Having days of the week was also quite nice...

Dunno about Eevee's evolutions in R/S/E, but I can say with absolute
certainty that Wurmple's evolutions have nothing to do with time of day
(either at the point of evolution or when caught) or gender or nature or
whether it was evolved naturally or with Rare Candies... Which it evolves
to seems to be set at birth - despite many tries, resetting never allowed a
particular Wurmple to change what it was going to become. Probably a
formula in there somewhere based on its ID number...

Time of day does not affect Wurmple's evolution. I had two Wurmples in
Emerald that evolved into Cascoon and Silcoon in the same battle. they
were the same gender (male) but had different genders (hardy and
adamant).

in R/S Time of day only affects the Shoal Cave and the Eeveelutions
into Umbreon and Espeom.

in E, I read somewhere (think it was serebii.net) that time of day
also affected which pokemon you could catch in the safari zone,
specifically the Orre/Johto ones in the expanded Safari Zone after
beating the Elite Four for the first time.
