How to Evolve Ursaring into Ursaluna in Pokémon GO
In Pokémon GO, most Pokémon evolve simply by spending Candy.
However, a select few species require additional conditions, such as evolution items, active Lure Modules, or other special requirements.
Ursaluna Evolution Is Only Available During the Full Moon Window!
Ursaring belongs to the latter category. In the main series games, Ursaring evolves into Ursaluna using the item Peat Block.
However, in Pokémon GO, this evolution method was replaced with a unique requirement: Ursaring can only evolve into Ursaluna during the full moon period.
As a result, Trainers can typically evolve Ursaring into Ursaluna only during a brief two-day window each lunar month, corresponding approximately to the 15th and 16th days of the lunar calendar.
If you miss the full moon window, you’ll have to wait until the following month before evolving Ursaring again.

Is Ursaluna Good in Raids and PvP?
In the main series Pokémon games, Ursaluna is considered one of the strongest and most versatile Ground-type attackers thanks to its outstanding base stats, excellent abilities, and powerful moves such as Facade, Earthquake, and Headlong Rush.
Unfortunately, Pokémon GO tells a very different story.
Starting with its strengths, Ursaluna retains its impressive stat distribution and, fittingly for a bear Pokémon, has access to an unusually wide selection of Charged Attacks.
In fact, Ursaluna currently has eight different Charged Attacks, putting it in the same category as Dragonite.
The downside, of course, is that getting the exact move combination you want can be quite the adventure (good luck with those Charged TMs).
Now Ursaluna is more useful in Trainer Battles than in raids, and is particularly strong in the Master League and Master League Premier.
With the addition of Scratch during the Season of the Twilight Journey, Ursaluna has finally received a significant boost in the Trainer Battle rankings.
Ursaluna’s recommended moveset is Scratch / Ice Punch + High Horsepower*.
Thanks to the buff to Scratch, which solved Ursaluna’s long-standing Fast Move issue, it has become one of the strongest Pokémon in the Master League thanks to its excellent Normal- and Ground-type defensive typing and high overall bulk.
If you are not a Trainer Battle player and instead mainly enjoy Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, you can transfer Ursaluna through Pokémon HOME and save yourself the trouble of using a Peat Block.
