Strategy Overview

Ursaring is a very strong revenge killer and sweeper with access to good coverage options and two strong priority moves. It is one of the only Pokemon that are able to use the deadly Belly Drum + Extreme Speed combination, as it learns Belly Drum naturally. Belly Drum in combination with Ursaring's coverage moves turns it into one of the best sweepers in the tier once it has successfully set up, being able to cover almost anything it wants. It also acts as an amazing status absorber thanks to Guts. However, it struggles with only having four moveslots because it always runs two Normal-type moves, so it's often walled by common threats. Additionally, while Ursaring has a very high Attack stat, its mediocre bulk and pitiful Speed mean that it almost always relies on priority to take on faster threats. Ursaring also hates chip damage and is prone to being worn down due to its lack of recovery.
