Full Moon in Pokemon Legends Arceus

The full moon in Pokemon Legends Arceus is important in several ways. For one, there are some Pokemon that can only evolve when it’s the full moon. On top of that, the phases of the moon are important for completing some research task. Fortunately, there are ways to check whether the full moon is out or not in Arceus, and we’ll list them out in this guide.

How to Know When is Full Moon in Pokemon Legends Arceus

The only way to know when the full moon is out in Pokemon Legends Arceus is to wait until it’s dark and then spend a few minutes looking at the sky. That’s it. If it’s light outside, you can always visit your house in Jubilife Village or one of the many camps strewn across the map, then rest until evening. Wait a couple of minutes, then just look up. It’s easier to spot a full moon if you have a good vantage point, so try to either climb up a high spot or mount Braviary and fly.

The trouble is that the weather can sometimes be cloudy, so there’s no way to visually assess the current moon phase. There is a workaround, which is admittedly a very long way around. Some Pokemon, like Ursaring, require the full moon to evolve. So, to know when it’s the full moon in Pokemon Legends Arceus, put Ursaring into your party and get a Peat Block, which is an item needed for it to turn into Ursaluna. Hover the cursor over the Peat Block, and if it says “compatible,” it’s the full moon. Again, long way around, but it works.

Knowing when the full moon is out is not important just because of evolution. It’s also necessary for certain research tasks. For example, there’s the Clefairy task called “Investigate Whether Clefairy Dance Under A Full Moon.” To complete it, you need to follow the objective marker to Coronet Highlands and then throw a Clefairy out and watch it dance in the full moon.
