Pokemon Legends: Arceus introduces trainers to the rugged Hisui region, bringing unique regional variants and entirely new evolutions to the franchise. Among these new additions is Ursaluna, a powerful Normal and Ground-type powerhouse that evolves from the classic Johto native, Ursaring. Unlocking this burly beast requires more than just leveling up, as trainers must navigate specific environmental triggers and hunt down a rare evolutionary item.
Catching a Teddiursa or Ursaring
Before you can begin the unique evolutionary process, you must add an Ursaring to your party. Trainers can find Teddiursa roaming around Ursa's Ring in the Crimson Mirelands and level them up to 30 to trigger their initial evolution. Alternatively, fully grown Ursaring can be caught directly in the wild at both the Crimson Mirelands and the Sonorous Path located within the Coronet Highlands.
Locating the Rare Peat Block
The key item required to unlock this powerful evolution is known as a Peat Block. The primary method to obtain this resource is by riding a mount version of Ursaluna throughout the muddy terrain of the Crimson Mirelands to dig up buried treasure. While the item drops are largely randomized, persistent treasure hunters will eventually uncover this essential block after a few cycles of digging.
For players seeking a guaranteed alternative, completing specific side content can speed up your journey significantly. Finishing Request 77, which is titled Gone Astray in the Icelands, rewards trainers with a Peat Block upon completion. Managing your resources wisely ensures you have the necessary items ready when the final cosmic conditions are met.
Waiting for the Hisuian Full Moon
Even with the correct item in hand, Ursaring will refuse to evolve unless a true full moon is visible in the night sky. Trainers can easily fast-forward the in-game calendar by resting at any base camp tent and choosing to sleep until nightfall. Because the celestial cycle shifts with each rest period, you may need to advance time multiple nights in a row until the lunar phase hits its peak.
Instead of manually staring at the sky for hours, you can simply open your inventory screen each night to check item compatibility. When the moon reaches its full phase, the Peat Block will change from incompatible to usable when highlighted next to Ursaring. Using the item at this exact moment triggers the transformation, securing a mighty companion capable of tearing through the toughest battles in Hisui.
