You can only evolve this bear during a full moon, so when's the next one?

If you want Ursaluna in Pokémon Go, you'll need to evolve your Ursaring on specific evenings. Ursaring only evolves into its grizzly evolution, Ursaluna, when there's a full moon in real life! Full moons occur once a month, so if the full moon passes, you'll need to wait another month or so to evolve it, sadly.

To help you stay on top of things, we list out a year's worth of full moon dates below, so you can set up an Ursaluna schedule in Pokémon Go to evolve your Ursaring.

When is the next full moon for Ursaluna in Pokémon Go?

Here's a list of evenings that are supposed to have a full moon, courtesy of NASA's sky events calendar:

  • Nov. 24, 2026
  • Dec. 23, 2026
  • Jan. 22, 2027
  • Feb. 20, 2027
  • March 22, 2027
  • April 20, 2027
  • May 20, 2027
  • June 18, 2027
  • July 18, 2027
  • Aug. 17, 2027
  • Sept. 15, 2027
  • Oct. 15, 2027
  • Nov. 13, 2027
  • Dec. 13, 2027

Set yourself reminders on these days if you're itching to evolve your Ursaring. For more exact times and dates based on your location, we recommend inputting your local time zone into the sky calendar to check out the exact full moon timings for your area.

As a reminder, it will need to be nighttime locally in addition to the full moon. You'll need 100 Teddiursa Candy to evolve Ursaring into Ursaluna as well.

Bloodmoon Ursaluna, a special form of Ursaluna that's from Kitakami (the region from the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet DLC), cannot be obtained in Pokémon Go as of writing this.
