Pokémon Go Ursaluna guide

Pokémon Go Ursaluna guide

Ursaluna in Pokémon Go, the towering final form of Teddiursa, debuted in November 2022’s Community Day. This guide details its evolutionary requirements, combat capabilities, and strategic value for trainers.

Ursaluna’s Origins and Traits

This Ground/Normal hybrid evolves from Ursaring and originates from Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Recognizable by its peat-covered limbs and lunar forehead marking, this Hisui-native creature thrives in swampy environments. Its Pokédex entry notes: “Swamplands shaped Ursaluna’s powerful frame and peat-manipulating abilities.”

Evolving Teddiursa to Ursaluna

Evolution requires lunar timing: First, evolve Teddiursa→Ursaring (50 candies). Then, during a full moon night, use 100 Teddiursa candies on Ursaring. This lunar dependency mirrors evolution mechanics for Espeon/Umbreon, occurring roughly monthly.

Wild Availability

Evolution remains the sole acquisition method—Ursaluna cannot be encountered wild.

Combat Strategy

While not meta-defining, Ursaluna’s moveset offers PvE utility:

  • Tackle (Fast)
  • High Horsepower (STAB Charged)
  • Trailblaze (Charged)

Note: High Horsepower requires evolution during Teddiursa Community Hours for accessibility.

Counters and Weaknesses

Exploit 1.6x vulnerabilities: Fighting, Water, Grass, and Ice-type attacks overwhelm Ursaluna’s dual typing. Deploy Pokémon with these move types for optimal results.
