Stats & Training
Attack and HP carry most of Ursaring's stat budget. Speed's the obvious dump stat. Moderately hard to find and yields 2 Attack EVs. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
It usually wears a hardened expression, but when it’s licking up honey—which it loves—the joy it feels will cause it to break into a wide grin.
It is quite skilled at climbing trees. If it comes across a Primeape while searching for berries in the treetops, trouble will surely ensue.
Ursaring Weakness
Fighting moves hit Ursaring for super-effective damage. The upside? Ghost-type moves can't touch it at all. With 90 HP and balanced defenses, Ursaring can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Sun & Moon Ursaring Best Moveset
The recommended build leans into Ursaring's strengths as a physical attacker. Toxic Orb provides self-poison for Guts or Poison Heal activation, and max HP and Attack EVs back that up. Guts rounds out the package.

How to Get Ursaring in Sun & Moon
No wild encounters for Ursaring in Sun & Moon. Bring Teddiursa over from Gold, Crystal, or Scarlet, then level through the stages. Each step in the chain is laid out below.
Ursaring Guide
Ursaring is meant to evolve into Ursaluna. At 500 BST, the stats aren't there for competitive play yet. Pre-evolution Pokemon rarely hold up against fully evolved threats.
In Sun & Moon, watch for Hitmonlee (Fighting) when using Ursaring. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.
Guts increases Attack to 1.5× with a major status ailment. That's the one you want on Ursaring. Unnerve is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Quick Feet works too if your team needs something different.
At base 55 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Ursaring is a physical attacker with base 130 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a wallbreaker.
Game Availability
Obtainable through an item-based evolution, Ursaring appears in 17 titles across 9 generations since Gold & Silver. The evolution method adds a barrier that wild-catchable Pokemon don't have.
