Strategy Overview

Say hello to Ursaring, a Pokemon that has been crushing villages since ADV. With its absurdly high base 130 Attack and its two abilities allowing it to play as different kinds of status attackers, this thing is a serious threat to watch out for. It's also slightly bulkier than other status attackers, with decent defenses of 90 / 75 / 75. It has a terrible base Speed of 55, but that can easily be mitigated with Quick Feet.

However, Ursaring receives a ton of competition from other status attackers, most notably Zangoose. Zangoose, which is a similar status attacker to Ursaring thanks to its Dream World ability Toxic Boost, is faster than Guts Ursaring, and stronger than Quick Feet Ursaring, so Ursaring is required to specialize to stand out, making it generally inferior. In fact, the only thing that Ursaring is better at in both sets is its bulk. Don't let all this discourage you from using Ursaring, though; while the metagame around it has shifted, Ursaring itself still functions as the same town smasher it was before, and is a deadly force to be reckoned with.
