In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Peat Blocks are a special item that allows Ursaring to evolve into Ursaluna. There are four methods to acquire Peat Blocks, and while they can be quite time-consuming or based on luck, obtaining them is essential for completing the Pokédex entry for Ursaluna. This new evolution is particularly enticing as it is introduced in Legends: Arceus, with Ursaluna being a prominent Ride Pokémon in the game.
Luckily, since there are several ways to find Peat Blocks, players can evolve multiple Ursaring into Ursaluna. While you only need one Ursaluna for the Pokédex, having more can be beneficial for trading. Additionally, to complete the Research Tasks for this species, you’ll need to catch five Ursaluna. These evolutions will also contribute to Ursaring’s own Research Task, speeding up your quest for a complete Pokédex in Legends: Arceus.
How to Acquire Peat Blocks in Arceus
Multiple Ways to Obtain the Evolution Item
There are three reliable methods to obtain Peat Blocks in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, although not all are repeatable:
| Peat Block Location | How to Acquire |
|---|---|
| Ginko Guild Shop | Ginter sells a variety of items, including Peat Blocks. If he offers a "Hunk of Coal" for 10,000 Poké Dollars, it’s a Peat Block. Ginter’s inventory updates after capturing 20 Pokémon. |
| Request 86 | Complete the "Gone Astray… in the Icelands" quest, where Wanda asks you to find her brother in Alabaster Icelands. Completing this mission awards you a Peat Block. |
| Hunting with Ursaluna | You can ask Ursaluna to search for treasures, including Peat Blocks. However, it’s a rare item to uncover this way, making it one of the tougher options. |
The best strategy for consistently acquiring Peat Blocks in Legends: Arceus is to frequently check the shop. While both methods depend on luck, Ginter’s inventory refreshes more frequently than hunting treasure with Ursaluna. Regularly taking time to visit his shop while exploring Hisui will help you build a stock of Peat Blocks efficiently.
Completing the "Gone Astray… in the Icelands" request ensures you can always get a Peat Block, regardless of luck with other methods. Since this request unlocks after progressing into the Icelands, you’ll likely find a Peat Block from Ginter’s shop or through hunting with Ursaluna before starting. However, a Peat Block can only be used to evolve Ursaring into Ursaluna under specific circumstances.
Finding Teddiursa, Ursaring, and Ursaluna
Locations for Catching the Evolutionary Family
Both Teddiursa and Ursaring can be found in the Crimson Mirelands. The ideal spot for locating Teddiursa is Ursa’s Ring, located south of Sludge Mound. Regular Teddiursa here are between Levels 20-22 and 26-29, while Alpha variants are between Levels 41-44. A Fixed Alpha Ursaring at Level 41 can also be found at the same location, occurring regardless of the time of day or weather conditions.
You can also find Teddiursa and Ursaring at Droning Meadow during the day, while the Pokémon here are slightly stronger than those in Ursa’s Ring (except for non-Alpha Ursaring). Later on, they can also be spotted in the Coronet Highlands along Sonorous Path at any time.
Teddiursa generally avoids confrontation and will flee when approached, but catching one and evolving it into Ursaluna is crucial for completing the Pokédex. A useful tactic for capturing Teddiursa is to throw berries nearby and wait for it to start eating, making it easier to get close without alarming it. In contrast, Ursaring is more aggressive, lending itself to easy battles before trying to catch it.
All evolutionary stages can also appear during Mass Outbreaks, depending on your progress. Teddiursa and Ursaring can occasionally be found in Mass Outbreaks at the Golden Lowlands near Gapejaw Bog, while Ursaluna can also emerge in Massive Mass Outbreaks, often as a rare spawn alongside its evolutionary relatives.
Evolving Ursaring with Peat Block
The Importance of the Full Moon
Evolving Ursaring into Ursaluna involves a couple of unique requirements. You need a Peat Block and must wait for a full moon. Specifically, Ursaring can only evolve on the night of a full moon. While this requirement isn’t explicitly stated in the game, the full moon symbol on Ursaluna’s forehead hints at its importance. Thankfully, you can easily meet this condition by resting at a camp.
After obtaining a Peat Block and having an Ursaring ready, go to a camp and rest until nightfall until a full moon appears. This may take a few tries, but keep selecting nightfall to navigate through the lunar phases. When the time is right, you can use the Peat Block to evolve Ursaring into Ursaluna. These Noble Pokémon are among the most challenging yet rewarding to obtain in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and Ursaluna is a powerful physical attacker that can be a valuable asset to your team.
