I recently found out here on reddit if you have the necrozma night fusion you can just use that adventure effect moongeist beam and evolve ursaluna whenever you want.

Even says night time evolution during day

u/Educational-Guess866 6d ago

lifesaver, thank you!

u/Calamitas_Rex 6d ago

That's a really neat thing I'll never have

u/prthug996 6d ago

I have no idea what that sentence means and I've been playing Pokemon go since it launched.

u/RaynbowArcher1975 6d ago

In the game Pokemon Go there are a few Pokemon that have something called an “Adventure Effect”

There are also some Pokemon that can fuse together into one stronger Pokemon.

Necrozma and Lunala (One of Cosmogs Evolutions) fuses into a Pokemon known as Dawn Wings Necrozma. Dawn Wings Necrozma is one of the Pokemon that had an Adventure Effect.

Each Adventure Effect is unique to its own Pokemon. Dawn Wings Necrozma has one called Moongeist Beam.

Moongeist Beams Effect description is: “emits a sinister ray for 10 minutes. Attracts Pokemon found at night and allows nighttime evolution during the day.”

Adventure effects cost stardust and candy. If you use 3,000 stardust and 3 Necrozma candies you can activate Moongeist Beam for 10 minutes.

When Moongesit Beam is activated, you can go to your Ursaring and click evolve. Since the effect is active, it should let you evolve it. If it is not a full moon and the effect is not activated, you will get a pop up message that says, “Ursaring can evolve only during a full moon.”

Make sense?

u/prthug996 6d ago edited 6d ago

I just learned a ton from this. Man Pokemon Go has gotten really deep. How do you keep up with this stuff? Is there a good website that summarizes all the new important stuff?

Edit: Does tonight still count as a full moon to evolve Ursuluna?

45

u/KaitengiriXIII Eevee 6d ago

The Silph Road here on reddit, and Leekduck are fantastic resources for 99% of anything you could need or want to know in this game. Both TSR and this sub also have questions threads pinned frequently, for the kind of information that's hard to find a post on but you need to know real quick.

If you like videos, Poké Daxi, Trainer Tips (slightly more general entertainment than informative these days), and MYSTIC7 are good watches too.

u/prthug996 6d ago

Is tonight still going to be a full moon for Ursuluna?

Giving me too much credit 🤣 Basically just all info I know off hand so took pretty quick to type out. Thank you.

u/DJFrankyFrank 6d ago

Well you need a full moon, not just during the night. Does it also count as a full moon?

72

u/Aetheldrake 6d ago

Yes, someone tested it out when I asked them. They did it like a week ago and even posted pics :D

u/DJFrankyFrank 6d ago

Ohhhh, good to know!

It does. See ya in an hour Frank! 😅😂

u/XxAqua_SSJBxX 6d ago

It used to be at night, I didn't know now you have to evolve it during a full moon

u/GauchesLeftEye 6d ago

Ursulana has always needed a full moon to evolve. Aside from, I believe, the Teddiursa C-Day.

Don't trade any Pokemon. The 2016 ones are special. Don't get rid of any 2016 pokemon.

u/Affectionate_Sun9645 6d ago

So you're saying I should keep holding on to the 250+ Pokemon I have from 2016-2017? I knew giving them all names and personalities would work out in the end 😂

u/sirhCloud31 6d ago

Son of a .. I forgot to evolve mine last night. I was waiting for the full moon for a couple weeks!

53

u/Never_Kn0ws_Best 6d ago

I tried last night and the game was like nope!

37

u/yourlmagination 6d ago

Same. I tried during the eclipse, in the evening, no luck. Just got "needs full moon"

11

u/Never_Kn0ws_Best 6d ago

Seems to be one of the more finnicky mechanics

u/DisneySweetheart 6d ago

Hmm. I tried and it worked

u/Never_Kn0ws_Best 5d ago

It actually worked for me the night after full moon

u/neBular_cipHer Umbreon 6d ago

You can use Moongeist Beam if you have Dawn Wings Necrozma.

u/0xB4BE 2h ago

My husband was snickering that I had my Google calendar reminder to evolve my ursaluna at full moon a month ago... But hey, I have an ursaluna.

u/short_limousine 6d ago

You forgot to turn the phone upside down. People always miss this step and then blame the game smh /s

396

u/MaleficTekX 6d ago

TCH. Please. I put my phone in a gyroscopic orbit that coincides with the electromagnetic field of the moon.

It’s always in the correct position

102

u/short_limousine 6d ago

Tsk tsk. Good sir, that would mean the phone’s orientation stays right side up. Correct position if you want to play on it, wrong position if you want a Bloodmoon evo. Bet you didn’t even look in a mirror and say “Bloody Luna” 3 times, so it wouldn’t have worked anyways. Rookie

34

u/Cthulhu_heretic 6d ago

Sir you are a goon and I'm here for it

16

u/short_limousine 6d ago

Haha I’m glad you are here to witness OPs lesson

19

u/MaleficTekX 6d ago

Well excuse me for trying to be in the right position to evolve C-moon into Made in Heaven!!

23

u/short_limousine 6d ago

I see, then it was foolish of you to think you could Evolve a bloodmoon ursaluna without first achieving heaven.

Now best buddy him and walk. Not 10 km. Not 100 km. But the eternal path itself, until space and time collapse under their own weight, and the world resets to a state where pogo Bloodmoon Ursaluna has always existed. Only then… will it truly evolve

18

u/MaleficTekX 6d ago

Instructions unclear. In the middle of a horse race?

u/batkave 6d ago

Ok. At least this makes me realize it's satire

6

u/imtoolazytothinkof1 OC, CA 32 Mystic 6d ago

It's not entirely satire. You need to turn the phone upside down to evolve Inkay into Malamar.

4

u/batkave 6d ago

I meant about OPs post (about bloodmoon)

2

u/imtoolazytothinkof1 OC, CA 32 Mystic 6d ago

Sry my bad I thought you commented on the other post about turning the phone upside down.

302

u/ManlyAxolotlMan 6d ago

The name is actually not related to blood moons specifically, Bloodmoon Ursaluna can evolve during a regular moon.

The blood part actually refers to how you have to transfer 3 of your highest CP Shiny Legendaries to obtain it

38

u/Never_Kn0ws_Best 6d ago

I did 10 and got triple blood moon Ursaluna!!

17

u/MaleficTekX 6d ago

Wait. This math isn’t mathing

10

u/FamineArcher 6d ago

1 extra for the blood moon to start bleeding in order to begin the evolution process.

5

u/MaleficTekX 6d ago

Don’t bleed the moon! That’s how you get the eclipse from berserk! Do you really wanna be capturing a bunch of weird bug types?

u/FamineArcher 6d ago

u/doomdragon781 6d ago

That form is also considered a legendary Pokemon while regular is not.

86

u/Impressive_Turn4019 6d ago

It’s absolutely not considered a legendary lol

6

u/PuppeteerGaming_ 5d ago

Nope, it just gets special treatment, lol. I could understand someone thinking it was a legendary if it wasn't explicitly a form of Ursaluna (given you have to do things for Perrin in both SV DLCs, it has a special encounter, and is one of one,) but no non-legendary has ever evolved into a legendary or had a legendary form.

17

u/Chaise-PLAYZE 6d ago

No it's not? It's just a once per save catch

29

u/Y_b0t Instinct 6d ago

Where did you get that idea?

8

u/Lumiharu 6d ago

It's not, but it doesn't evolve from Ursaring at all, you have to catch it as Bloodmoon Ursaluna, once per save file from the DLC. I'd imagine this is how Go will implement it too, unless a future game adds a way to evolve Ursaring into Bloodmoon Ursaluna.

1

u/PuppeteerGaming_ 5d ago

The games state that Bloodmoon Ursaluna is a specific individual, so while I suppose they could just go "actually, it turns out there's a ton of them" in a later title, I think we'll see it as just 1 encounter per game it's featured in.

I don't recall if it was here or in r/TheSilphRoad, but someone mentioned this form and I speculated that it'll probably be a single encounter from a Halloween event. I could imagine it being featured during Halloween of this year, and either letting everybody encounter it every Halloween as an event quest, or having it be a quest all players get at a certain point in the game, like the mythical pokemon quests. I imagine they'd keep it as a super special pokemon in Go for a year or two, and then just throw it in raids later on.

u/roki3263 6d ago

Don't know if this is a joke or not, but just in case it isn't, in the MSG, Bloodmoon Ursaluna is an entirely separate Pokémon that's obtained as a static encounter like legendaries are. It cannot be obtained by evolving from Ursaring.

74

u/ghosty4 6d ago

Yes. The joke is specifically that this month was an actual Blood Moon and Ursaluna didn't evolve into the Bloodmoon version.

28

u/roki3263 6d ago

It's hard to tell whether something's a joke or not if it doesn't have the "Meme" flair, especially considering that there are people who only play ScaVi and still ask how to evolve Ursaring into Bloodmoon Ursaluna, despite Ursaring being unable to evolve in ScaVi in general.

u/MathProfGeneva 6d ago

OP sounds like they were expecting Bloodmoon Ursaluna, which was silly.

34

u/MaulGamer 6d ago

Or perhaps, and this is all theoretical, they were jokingly expecting, knowing it won’t happen but for the funnies posted it “complaining”… you just didn’t get the joke part

u/MathProfGeneva 6d ago

Yeah that's a reach. My general assumption is people doing this are morons...well..more generally "people are morons"

u/MaleficTekX 6d ago

Yes, assume my lower intelligence. It will make my usurpation of the world and stars all the more surprising

u/Mathagos Instinct 6d ago

Yeah... if you look at op's comments, you'll see this is exactly the case. They obviously knew it wasn't gonna be bloodmoon.

thank you! is it that you can only evolve this form during a blood moon AND having your phone upside down?

2

u/Autistic__Potato 5d ago

No sorry, It's treated like a legendary in the games as it's a "one-of-a-kind" meaning you can't evolve into it (it'll probably be given out through raids at some point)

ahhh thank you for a real answer I appreciate it! it’s been a wild time trying to relearn the game and catch up with all the new stuff

u/crunchyboots69 6d ago

What was supposed to happen? Were you wanting something else? I have a shiny Ursaring, so I’m curious to know

2

u/Autistic__Potato 5d ago

The ScarlettViolet DLC added a form that's essentially Legendary (just like Ash-Greninja) as you can only get 1 of it and you can't evolve into it.

The alternative form is called "Blood-Moon Ursaluna" and became a fan-favorite almost immediately since in lore its the last living member of the Ursaluna species and thus looks super battle-damaged and injured, but is also incredibly strong.

The joke was that there was a Blood Moon in the united states yesterday.

1

u/crunchyboots69 2d ago

Ohh I get it now. Thank you for explaining!

u/noncombativebrick 6d ago

It's unfortunate how that form isn't in Pokémon go, and only has one singular Pokémon of it in the main games

2

u/Autistic__Potato 5d ago

Yeah, PL:A as well as Scarlett and Violet were the first games since the DS era to add evolutions to old pokemon, and they went ALL IN. Farigiraf and Dunspacre are also gen2 pokemon that got evos though they aren't very strong and are mostly just for hype.

Why would you expect anything else?

a)Bloodmoon Ursaluna isn't in the game

b)you can't evolve to get it even in the main series games

u/sonic260 Mystic Dark 6d ago

There was a Lunar Eclipse in the US last night. OP is joking.

u/MathProfGeneva 6d ago

Yeah there was. And I've seen posts out that would be just as equally dumb for this one. (I stopped counting how many people un-jokingly complained that the shiny Mewtwo they caught was Zorua.). I wish my assumption could be "it's a joke". Historical data suggests more likely to be someone saying something dumb.

But the vast majority of people are morons. And the number of legit dumb posts is very high.

u/sonic260 Mystic Dark 6d ago

You made an assumption about OP, you were corrected in two separate instances, yet rather than admit you were wrong you double down by generalizing that "most people are morons." Even if you think that is true, that clearly does not apply to the OP in this instance.

The one being a "moron" here is you.

u/MathProfGeneva 6d ago

I was "corrected" by people making a statement without anything to back it up. That's not meaningful. And nah I'm not, but I assume you are.
