[SET COMMENTS]
Calm Mind Ursaluna-B is an excellent bulky wincon for Ground teams thanks to its astonishing power and great neutral coverage with Mind's Eye-backed STAB moves, letting it blast through huge portions of teams with little assistance.
(put new move descriptions here)
Vacuum Wave is an extremely useful tool for picking off faster Pokemon that might otherwise deal heavy damage to Ursaluna-B before getting KOed, with Chien-Pao being the most important example. This adds an extra dimension to Ursaluna-B's offense, as it can pick off foes that might safely revenge kill a slow setup sweeper otherwise; on Hyper Voice sets, it's also Ursaluna-B's strongest move against Normal-resistant Pokemon like Gholdengo, Archaludon, and Garganacl. Moonlight gives Ursaluna-B a recovery option that lets it leverage its great bulk even further, although it's worth noting that the move is significantly less useful in sandstorm, which Ground teams frequently enjoy using. Leftovers allow Ursaluna-B to heal passively without spending a turn on Moonlight, making it easier to quickly stack Calm Mind boosts. The given EV spread allows Ursaluna-B to avoid the OHKO from staggeringly strong physical attacks like Sneasler's Close Combat and Choice Band Chien-Pao's Icicle Crash, letting it retaliate with lethal damage. 68 Speed EVs allow Ursaluna-B to outspeed Hisuian Goodra and Primarina.

Ursaluna-B struggles to break through dedicated special walls such as Blissey, Articuno, Clodsire, Dondozo, and Hisuian Goodra, so teammates that can pressure these foes for it are extremely helpful. Choice Band Excadrill is a great wallbreaking partner thanks to its ability to threaten all of these Pokemon with its STAB combination; in addition, their combination of resistances make it difficult for Ghost-type threats like Flutter Mane and Dragon Dance Dragapult to make progress. By extension, Hippowdon is a useful asset for enabling Excadrill and setting up Stealth Rock, although it bears mentioning that sandstorm will halve the recovery of Moonlight. Mamoswine is another great tool for pressuring special walls that can also break through Corviknight and provide a backup check to Ice-type threats like Chien-Pao. Great Tusk can support Ursaluna-B with Rapid Spin, a major help to it since it loathes Spikes and Toxic Spikes; it can also provide crucial speed control with a Choice Scarf set that lets it offensively check threatening wallbreakers that might stop an Ursaluna-B sweep, like Choice Specs Kyurem and Greninja. Landorus, in either of its formes, can use Gravity to support Earth Power sets and help the rest of the team break through Skarmory and Corviknight for Ursaluna-B's benefit. Water Absorb Clodsire boasts incredible defensive synergy with Ursaluna-B, being able to check many of the Water-, Grass-, and Fighting-types it fears, such as Ogerpon-W, Meowscarada, and Iron Valiant. In addition, it can absorb Toxic Spikes and stack its own entry hazards to make Ursaluna-B even harder to switch into. Gliscor is an even sturdier Fighting-type check that can also provide hazards or a physical wincon with Swords Dance. Since it enjoys preserving its bulk to help it set up more easily, Calm Mind Ursaluna-B enjoys pivoting support from its teammates; this can be provided by U-turn from Gliscor and Landorus, as well as Volt Switch from Sandy Shocks or Choice Scarf Iron Treads. Earth Power variants of Ursaluna-B also require a Gravity setter to be effective; Landorus is traditionally used in this role, although Sandy Shocks can also work on occasion.

--------
Protect is an interesting alternative to Moonlight that lets Ursaluna-B rack up Leftovers recovery and safely stall out Blood Moon's cooldown turn; this can be especially effective alongside Toxic Spikes support from Clodsire. Heavy-Duty Boots is a viable alternative item if Ursaluna-B's team avoids fitting a Rapid Spin user, but it will sorely miss the longevity afforded by Leftovers.

Calm Mind Ursaluna-B is an excellent bulky wincon for Ground teams thanks to its astonishing power and great neutral coverage with Mind's Eye-backed STAB moves, letting it blast through huge portions of teams with little assistance. Blood Moon is the default choice of STAB move, giving Ursaluna-B the ability to cleanly OHKO many neutral targets after a boost; it's especially effective against common physical walls that tend to annoy Ground teams, such as Gliscor, Galarian Weezing, Avalugg, and Amoonguss, all of which are OHKOed at +1 after Stealth Rock. (This can be shorten down. Can be like: .... to cleanly ohko many neutral targets after a boost like [insert the threats.]) However, Hyper Voice is also a viable choice here despite being significantly less powerful, as its higher PP and ability to be used on consecutive turns can be useful for breaking through recovery-packing walls like Clefable and Porygon2, as well as playing around Protect users like the aforementioned Gliscor. Earth Power is a more situational choice due to it lacking Blood Moon's power and having immunities that aren't negated by Mind's Eye, but it can be incredibly effective with Gravity support, which many Ground teams love to fit regardless. (Honestly just provide some examples where it benefits from Gravity support. Like taking care of the Steel birds, and Air Balloon Heatran.) Vacuum Wave is an extremely useful tool for picking off faster Pokemon that might otherwise deal heavy damage to Ursaluna-B before getting KOed, with Chien-Pao being the most important example. This adds an extra dimension to Ursaluna-B's offense, as it can pick off foes that just barely survived Blood Moon before they can recover the damage off; on Hyper Voice sets, it's also Ursaluna-B's strongest move against Normal-resistant Pokemon like Gholdengo, Archaludon, and Kingambit Garganacl. Moonlight gives Ursaluna-B a recovery option that lets it leverage its great bulk even further, although it's worth noting that the move is significantly less useful in sandstorm, which Ground teams frequently enjoy using. Leftovers allow Ursaluna-B to heal passively without spending a turn on Moonlight, making it extremely difficult to KO alongside Calm Mind and a physically defensive EV spread. (Honestly this is not explaining what the Hp and def evs is surviving, so its nice to explain what it survives. Example is like it survives CC from Sneasler, Icicle Crash from Band Chien-Pao from full hp and revenge kill it with bloodmoon and vacuum wave.) 68 Speed EVs allow Ursaluna-B to outspeed Hisuian Goodra and Primarina.

Ursaluna-B struggles to break through dedicated special walls such as Blissey, Articuno, and Hisuian Goodra, as well as Unaware users like Clodsire, Dondozo, and Skeledirge, (too much examples) so teammates that can pressure these foes for it are extremely helpful. Choice Band Excadrill is a great wallbreaking partner thanks to its ability to threaten all of these Pokemon with its STAB combination; in addition, their combination of resistances make it difficult for Ghost-type threats like Flutter Mane and Dragon Dance Dragapult to make progress. By extension, Hippowdon is a useful asset for enabling Excadrill and setting up Stealth Rock, although it bears mentioning that sandstorm will halve the recovery of Moonlight. Mamoswine is another great tool for pressuring special walls that can also break through Corviknight and provide a backup check to Ice-type threats like Chien-Pao. (Mention how Mamo also handles Hydrapple and Meowscarada for Ursa-B.) Great Tusk can support Ursaluna-B with Rapid Spin, a major help to it since it loathes Spikes and Toxic Spikes; it can also provide crucial speed control with a Choice Scarf set. (Mention how the Choice Scarf Set takes out Specs Greninja and Specs Kyurem for Ursa-B.) Landorus, in either of its formes, can use Gravity to support Earth Power sets and help the rest of the team break through Skarmory and Corviknight for Ursaluna-B's benefit. Water Absorb Clodsire boasts incredible defensive synergy with Ursaluna-B, being able to check many of the Water-, Grass-, and Fighting-types it fears, such as Dondozo, Ogerpon-W, Meowscarada, and Iron Valiant. In addition, it can absorb Toxic Spikes and stack its own entry hazards to make Ursaluna-B even harder to switch into. Gliscor is an even sturdier Fighting-type check that can also provide hazards or a physical wincon with Swords Dance. (Counteractive with Lando, you dont want to double stack Flying Ground. if your more than likely bringing gravity lando 99percent of the time.) Since it enjoys preserving its bulk to help it set up more easily, Calm Mind Ursaluna-B enjoys pivoting support from its teammates; this can be provided by U-turn from Gliscor and Landorus, as well as Volt Switch from Sandy Shocks or Choice Scarf Iron Treads.
