How To Get Bloodmoon Ursaluna

Wondering how to get the rare Bloodmoon Ursaluna in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet? This guide explains its origins and where it appears in the Teal Mask DLC.

Alright, let's talk about getting your hands on the super cool Bloodmoon Ursaluna in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet! This special form showed up in the Teal Mask DLC, and it's got a bit of a mysterious past. So, Bloodmoon Ursaluna isn't something you can just catch anywhere or evolve from a regular Ursaring. According to the lore, it's actually a regular Ursaluna from the Hisui region (that's from Pokémon Legends: Arceus, if you played it!). For reasons unknown, this Ursaluna decided to take a trip across the sea and ended up washing ashore in the Timeless Woods, which is part of Kitakami. This journey and surviving in a new place changed it, giving it its unique Bloodmoon appearance and special powers. The Pokédex entries for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet mention that its left eye can see in the dark, and it can protect itself with mud as hard as iron. Pretty neat, huh? As for where you'll actually find it in the game, it seems to be a special encounter tied to the story in the Teal Mask DLC. While the source text doesn't give exact steps for *how* to trigger the encounter, it confirms its presence in Kitakami's Timeless Woods. Keep an eye out during your adventures there, especially if you're exploring the story!
