Raw Attack carries Ursaluna's bulk more than the defenses do. Sp. Atk barely registers. But that HP pool covers for it. A very hard to catch Peat Pokemon that yields 3 Attack EVs on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
I believe it was Hisui’s swampy terrain that gave Ursaluna its burly physique and newfound capacity to manipulate peat at will.
Water, Grass, Ice, and Fighting moves hit Ursaluna for super-effective damage. The upside? Electric and Ghost-type moves can't touch it at all. Ursaluna's physical bulk (base 105 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.

Getting Ursaluna requires an evolution item, not just grinding levels. The chain starts at Teddiursa. Breed this form to get Teddiursa eggs (average hatch time). HP grew the most through evolution (+70 over Teddiursa), and Ursaluna peaks at 550 total stats. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Ursaluna to get Teddiursa eggs easily using 278 partners from the Ground egg group.
Start with spread EVs. Adamant nature gives Ursaluna the right physical lean, Flame Orb adds self-burn for Guts activation, and Guts works in the background. Facade is the main damage option.

Moves
Need something that threatens multiple types? Ursaluna's movepool delivers. Coverage across 12 types plus STAB from Giga Impact and Hyper Beam gives it answers for most defensive cores you'll run into.
Level-Up Moves
TM Moves
Egg Moves
Tutor Moves
STAB options run deep here. Ursaluna doesn't have to settle for one Ground and Normal attack when there's a whole lineup. Giga Impact and Hyper Beam are the headliners, with coverage across 8 types backing them up.
Can't catch Ursaluna directly. Start with Teddiursa at solid rates from the locations below, then evolve through a special method. The 3-stage chain from Teddiursa to Ursaluna is where the leveling time goes.

Step 3Ursaluna ✓
You're catching Teddiursa first, not Ursaluna. Teddiursa appears at decent rates in the encounters below. The step cards map the full 3-stage chain with evolution methods between each stage.
How to Obtain Ursaluna in Legends: Arceus
Teddiursa is your first catch on the way to Ursaluna. You'll find walking encounters from walking across 4 total spots in the chain.
We rate Ursaluna A-Tier: a strong competitive pick. At 550 BST, it fits the wallbreaker role. Base 140 Attack stands out.
Guts increases Attack to 1.5× with a major status ailment. That's the one you want on Ursaluna. Unnerve is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Bulletproof works too if your team needs something different.
Base 50 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Ursaluna is a physical attacker with base 140 Attack. Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits. Best used as a wallbreaker.
Ursaluna has answers, but so do you. Status moves (Toxic, Will-O-Wisp) wear it down. Setup sweepers can use it as a boost opportunity. Special attackers bypass its physical bulk.
Ursaluna joined the series in Sword & Shield and has been available in 2 titles so far. With 3 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
