If you are trying to complete your living Pokedex in Pokémon GOone of the Pokemon that can bother you is Ursaluna. The new development for Ursaring (introduced in Pokemon Legends: Arceus), can only be obtained by develops Ursaring during a full moon. As you might guess, full moons don't happen every day, so you need to be prepared in advance to make sure you can take advantage of it.

This guide will show the players upcoming full moons for 2025 and 2026 then you finally can evolve your Ursaring into Ursaluna and get one step closer to catching them all.

It is worth noting that full moons in the game Pokémon GO may differ slightly from the real-time full moon that happens in the real world. It's not super consistent, so just be sure to take these dates/times with a grain of salt. The best thing is to play the game at night during the full moon in your region and check the development screen for Ursaring to see if it is possible. Some players report being able to develop it hours after a full moon has “started”. It looks like the developers may need to turn on the full moon effect in the game, so just stay tuned.
