Guide Overview
Lunaflare is the Ghost/Fire legendary also found in Shadow Marsh. Unlike Shadowclaw, which is a pure Assassin, Lunaflare is an Attacker that combines Ghost pressure with Fire coverage. Both legendaries share the same habitat and weather requirements, so players pursuing one often scout the other by accident.
Lunaflare is worth targeting when your build needs Ghost type control with Fire type burst. It is less common than Shadowclaw in the route rotation, so players specifically farming Lunaflare need to be prepared for longer sessions.
Step-by-Step Route
- 1
Confirm Night and Stormy are both active before entering Shadow Marsh.
- 2
Move past the Shados section and the Shadowclaw branch without spending Soul Dust.
- 3
Reach the Lunaflare branch — it appears deeper in Shadow Marsh than Shadowclaw.
- 4
Use Soul Dust at the Lunaflare branch only after the route is confirmed.
- 5
Lunaflare is aggressive — exit after catching rather than continuing the deep route.
- 6
If Shadowclaw appears instead, decide whether to catch it or reset for Lunaflare.
Recommended Setup
- Recipe: Ghost Veil — supports Ghost type attraction but Soul Dust is the primary bait.
- Weather: Night + Stormy — both required.
- Route note: Shadowclaw and Lunaflare share the same habitat but appear at different route positions.
- Decision: If both appear, Shadowclaw is higher priority for material value unless you specifically need Lunaflare.
Common Mistakes
- Spending Soul Dust on the Shadowclaw branch instead of waiting for Lunaflare deeper in the route.
- Confusing Lunaflare and Shadowclaw spawn positions and wasting bait on the wrong encounter.
- Entering Shadow Marsh during Night but in Foggy or Clear weather — Stormy is required.
