Ursaluna-B's naturally high bulk paired with an unblockable attack in Blood Moon make it an incredible wallbreaker and win condition. Calm Mind along with Moonlight make Ursaluna-B a strong setup sweeper. Blood Moon and Earth Power provide Ursaluna-B with coverage only resisted by Corviknight, Skarmory, and Gholdengo with its Air Balloon intact. Hyper Voice is another option over Moonlight on hyper offense teams as a strong STAB when Blood Moon is unavailable, but is generally outclassed by Moonlight's ability to keep Ursaluna-B on the field. Tera Poison gives Ursaluna-B an immunity to Toxic, while providing it a resist to Fighting-type moves from the likes of Mega Lopunny and Zamazenta, Grass-type moves from Ferrothorn and Kartana, and a neutrality to Water-type moves from Urshifu, Samurott-H, and Mega Swampert. The given spread OHKOs Toxapex after a Calm Mind and lives Mega Lopunny's Close Combat after Stealth Rock. Ursaluna-B is a fierce wallbreaker that breaks through standard defensive cores, and as such can fit on either balance or offensive teams. Teammates such as Sneasler and Volcarona appreciate Ursaluna-B pressuring Toxapex, Heatran, and Garganacl, and can clean after Ursaluna-B breaks. Ursaluna-B struggles to deal with incredibly offensive teams, as it can have issues setting up. As such, having solid defensive cores that can take on Pokemon such as Zamazenta, Urshifu-R, Sneasler, Mega Swampert, Baxcalibur, Medicham-Mega, and Samurott-H are appreciated. This includes partners like Toxapex, Ferrothorn, Tornadus-T, and Landorus-T. Additionally, entry hazard setters such as Samurott-H and Gliscor partner well with Ursaluna-B to limit offensive teams. Gholdengo is another great partner for preventing hazard removal while being able to pivot into Fighting-type coverage from the likes Mega Lopunny and the aforementioned Sneasler.

Ursaluna-B's naturally high bulk paired with an unblockable attack in Blood Moon make it an incredible wallbreaker and win condition. Calm Mind along with Moonlight make Ursaluna-B a strong setup sweeper. Blood Moon and Earth Power provide Ursaluna-B with coverage only resisted by Corviknight and Skarmory. (balloon dengo could be worth a shout asw) Hyper Voice is another option over Moonlight on hyper offense teams as a strong STAB when Blood Moon is unavailable, but is generally outclassed by Moonlight's ability to keep Ursaluna-B on the field. Tera Poison gives Ursaluna-B an immunity to Toxic, while providing it a resist to Fighting- and Grass-type moves and a neutrality to Water coverage. (from who? examples would be nice here) The given spread OHKOs standard Toxapex after a Calm Mind and makes Ursaluna-B more physically bulky. (slash this for above spread) Ursaluna-B is a fierce wallbreaker that breaks through standard defensive cores, and as such can fit on either balance or offensive teams. Teammates such as Sneasler and Volcarona appreciate Ursaluna-B pressuring Toxapex, Landorus-T, (Lando-T can either eq or tox you, i think the other 3 examples are just fine) Heatran, and Garganacl, and can clean after Ursaluna-B breaks. Ursaluna-B struggles to deal with incredibly offensive teams, as it can have issues setting up. As such, having solid defensive cores that can take on Pokemon such as Zamazenta, Urshifu-R, Sneasler, Barraskewda, Mega Swampert, Baxcalibur, Medicham-Mega, and Samurott-H are appreciated. This includes partners like Toxapex, Ferrothorn, Tornadus-T, and Landorus-T. Additionally, entry hazard setters such as Samurott-H and Gliscor partner well with Ursaluna-B to limit offensive teams.
