You must complete the story and roll the credits before encountering Lunala. Check out the details in this guide and find Lunala in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s second expansion, The Indigo Disk.
Where to Find Lunala
You must complete the story and roll the credits before encountering Lunala. Once you’ve done this, watch out for a character named Snacksworth near the entrance to Blueberry Academy. After completing the barbecues, encounters with Legendary Pokémon will provide useful treats.
Lunala Location
Once you obtain the Lunala Treat, you can finally locate the legendary bat in the Paldea region. Lunala can be spotted between the Casseroya Lake area in the northwest and West Province (Area Two).
The most efficient route to Lunala is to fast travel to the Porto Marinada Lighthouse outside Asado Desert, then head north until you reach a small waterfall by the ocean. Look for a large tree near the waterfall, and behind it, you’ll find Lunala awaiting a Pokémon battle.
Provided above are images depicting Lunala’s location, and below, a video showcases how to reach its spawn spot.
Note: Remember to save your game before engaging with Lunala. If you accidentally defeat it in battle, you can restart your game to encounter it again.
