 If you need a moonstone in Pokémon Scarlet/Violet to evolve your Jigglypuff (or you want to just admire their beauty, idk, you do you) but can't find one, worry not! Bee is here. There are a few different ways you can get a moonstone in Pokémon Scarlet/Violet. You can get them from auctions at Porto Marinada, catching 210 different pokemon, and find them somewhere in the south east province of area 3. 1. Auctions at Porto Marinada This might be the easiest way to get a moonstone, in my opinion. Porto Marinada Auctions unlock when  you defeat Kofu, the water type gym leader.
