Pokemon GO Full Moon 2025 Guide: Ursaluna evolution and more (January 2025)

The Pokemon GO Full Moon 2025 date for January 2025 is set for January 13.

A Pokemon GO Full Moon guide can help players track the heavenly cycles, especially if they want to evolve their Ursaring into Ursaluna. However, due to the game's general disconnect from real-life weather phenomena, it might get confusing as to when you will be able to experience a full moon in the game.

This article covers the entire year's Pokemon GO Full Moon schedule as well as information on the benefits of the phenomenon.

Pokemon GO full moon schedule for 2025

Similar to how weather works in Pokemon GO, where the game reflects real-life weather situations (albeit not with 100% real-time accuracy), astronomical patterns such as the movement of the moon are also tracked by the title. This means you can experience a full moon inside the game once a month.

Over the course of 2025, the tentative full moon schedule in Pokemon GO is likely to be as follows:

• January 13 — Wolf Moon
• February 12 — Snow Moon
• March 14 — Worm Moon
• April 12 — Pink Moon
• May 12 — Flower Moon
• June 11 — Strawberry Moon
• July 10 — Buck Moon
• August 9 — Sturgeon Moon
• September 7 — Corn Moon
• October 6 — Hunter’s Moon
• November 5 — Beaver Moon
• December 4 — Cold Moon

You will get the chance to evolve your Ursaring to Ursaluna during specific hours of the day on the dates mentioned above.

How does the full moon mechanic work in Pokemon GO?

It is difficult to assertively state the exact hours during which there will be a full moon in the game because there appears to be some sort of a toggle on the developers' end that triggers a full moon in the game.

This was the case with the Teddyursa Pokemon GO Community Day back in November 2022, when the full moon mechanic was activated from 2 pm on the day of the event until 6 am on the next day.

There seem to be some glitches with this mechanic as well, wherein shiny, Shadow, and Purified forms of Ursaring are unable to evolve even during full moons. However, you don't need to worry about this since restarting the game should iron such issues out easily.

How can you get Ursaluna in Pokemon GO?

Ursaluna is an incredibly powerful Pokémon in the game. Teddiursa, its initial form, is a common spawn, making it relatively easy to find and capture.

To evolve Teddiursa into its middle evolutionary stage, Ursaring, you will need 50 Teddiursa candies. However, in order to get the final evolutionary form of Ursaluna, you will need 100 Teddiursa candies and a full moon.
