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.

| 2x (Weak) | Fighting |

What is Ursaring Weak Against
Good
Ursaring Evolutions
Evolved from Teddiursa. Ursaring is the final form in this two-stage line. A massive partner pool for breeding via one egg group. Eggs take an average time to hatch. Attack grew the most through evolution (+50 over Teddiursa), and Ursaring peaks at 500 total stats. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Ursaring to get Teddiursa eggs easily using 102 partners from the Field egg group. Notable egg moves include Counter, Crunch, Fake Tears and 5 more.
RS Ursaring Best Moveset
130 Attack made even more dangerous when statused: AbilityGuts turns status into a 50% Attack boost. MoveReturn and MoveEarthquake hit devastatingly, and MoveFacade doubles in power when burned or poisoned. Held ItemLeftovers sustains. Status makes it stronger, not weaker.

Moves List
Don't skip the egg moves. Ursaring picks up Counter and Crunch only through breeding, and both fill gaps the natural movepool can't. STAB runs through Hyper Beam and Thrash while coverage across 7 types adds range.
