Participants of the Pokémon GO Fuzzy Buddy Research Day may be curious about the possibility of evolving Teddiursa into Ursaluna during the event. However, it’s important to clarify that this evolution cannot happen. To transform Teddiursa, players first need to evolve it into Ursaring, which can only then become Ursaluna under specific conditions — namely, during a full moon and at night.
Scheduled for March 29, 2025, from 2 PM to 5 PM local time, the Fuzzy Buddy Research Day occurs shortly after March’s full moon, which took place on March 24, 2025. Consequently, trainers will be unable to evolve their Teddiursa into its ultimate form during this event.
Steps to Evolve Teddiursa into Ursaluna in Pokémon GO
Trainers can obtain Teddiursa through various means, but to evolve it into Ursaring, you will need to provide 50 Candy. Subsequently, to evolve Ursaring into Ursaluna, an additional 100 Candy is required. Yet, these candy costs are not the only hurdles; two other critical conditions must be met:
- The time must be night.
- It must be a full moon day.
Should either of these conditions not be satisfied—like during the Pokémon GO Fuzzy Buddy Research Day—it becomes impossible to complete the evolution of Teddiursa. Trainers usually have a limited window each month to evolve their Ursaring into Ursaluna.
Reasons for the Inability to Evolve Teddiursa During Fuzzy Buddy Research Day
Two main factors prevent the evolution of Teddiursa into Ursaluna during the Fuzzy Buddy Research Day:
- Full Moon Requirement: Since March 2025’s full moon occurred on March 14, the current event does not meet the essential criterion for this evolution method in Pokémon GO.
- Daytime Event: The event is held from 2 PM to 5 PM, which is not night, thus preventing Ursaring from evolving into Ursaluna.
While fully evolving your Teddiursa will not be possible during this event, trainers are encouraged to hold onto their Pokémon for a more opportune time when the required conditions are met. This is especially relevant if you have purchased the Pokémon GO Fuzzy Buddy ticket and selected Teddiursa as your featured Pokémon.
