In Pokemon Legends: Arceus, there are many different evolution stones that players can get their hands on. Fire Stones, Leaf Stones, Thunder Stones, and more can be used to evolve certain Pokemon. However, this guide will go over how to get a Moon Stone in Pokemon Legends: Arceus --an item used to evolve the Fairy-type Pokemon, Clefairy, into Clefable.
In previous mainline Pokemon games, Moon Stones have the potential to evolve several Pokemon, like Nidorino, Nidorina, Jigglypuff, Skitty, and Munna. But in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Clefairy is the only Pokemon that it can be used on.
How to Get a Moon Stone in Pokemon Legends: Arceus
Shopping
One of the faster ways to get a Moon Stone in Pokemon Legends: Arceus is to simply purchase it from Simona's Trading Post in Jubilife Village. She sells Moon Stones for 1000 MP (Merit Points), obtained by collecting and returning the lost Satchels from defeated players. Satchels will appear on the overworld map from time to time, and players can go into the Communications menu to turn them in for MP.
There's a chance to find the item at the Ginkgo Guild for those who don't have the time or patience to rack up 1000 MP, but it will cost players a whopping 5000 Pokedollars.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus players that don't want to spend money or other resources to acquire a Moon Stone, there is a way to get a guaranteed one, and that's by completing a particular Request. Once players catch a Clefairy for the first time (located at Coronet Highlands' Fabled Spring at nighttime), a Request will pop up on the board back at the Galaxy Hall. Request 67 is called Clefairy's Moonlit Dance --players will receive a "free" Moon Stone upon the quest's completion.
Other Ways to Get Moon Stones
Players should keep an eye on Space-Time Distortions while playing Pokemon Legends: Arceus, as they will have loads of rare items and strong Pokemon to pick up or capture. Evolutionary stones can be found on the ground inside these distortions, so make sure to keep an eye out for Moon Stones.
There's also a tiny chance that wild Clefairy and Clefable will be holding a Moon Stone, so capturing them can yield a Moon Stone as a reward.
And last but not least, using the Ride Pokemon Ursaluna can help players find buried treasure around the overworld, and there's a chance for Moon Stones to be found. There's no guaranteed location to find them, though, so gamers will just need to use Ursaluna's tracking ability often.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is available for the Nintendo Switch.
