How to Change the Time of Day in Pokemon Legends Arceus

The only way to change the time of day in Pokemon Legends Arceus, aside from just playing the game for a while, is by resting. You can make your character rest by visiting any major Camp Site in any zone or by visiting your house in Jubilife Village and tapping “A” to rest. 

When you choose to rest, you can choose how long you’d like to rest for, with the options being:

  • Just a little while
  • Until Morning
  • Until Midday
  • Until Evening
  • Until Nightfall
  • Actually, I’ll stay up

Depending on which options you choose, the time of day will change to the corresponding choice.

How to Get a Full Moon

To get a full moon to occur, you will want to rest until nightfall. Look up into the night sky and see if you can see a full moon. If you’re in a mountainous area or somewhere surrounded by trees, you may need to explore a bit until you can see the moon. A good spot to do this is in the Bogbound Camp in Crimson Mirelands.

If there’s no full moon, go back to the tent and try again. There is a chance for the full moon to show up, and, unfortunately, there is no guaranteed way to get it to happen. Your best bet is to just keep spamming rest until nightfall, looking up with the right joystick, and then doing it again.

If you are trying to get Ursaluna, you can skip the part where you physically look for the moon and just check if you can evolve the Pokemon or not. Some players also report that saving the game, resetting it, and then trying again works if you are unable to evolve Ursaluna during the correct conditions.

Hopefully, this can help some players out! There you have it; that’s how to get a full moon in Pokemon Legends Arceus.
