        PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

        Ursaring has great stats, but unfortunately, it's a pure Normal-type Pokémon, giving it no functionality in PvE battles. 🤐

        ⚔️ Raids

        There are many better Pokémon to use in Raids. Besides, using Ursaring is a waste of the Raid timer. 👎

        🛡️ Gyms

        Ursaring has a vast array of moves, but they’re too inconsistent to make a real impact. 😬

        🧬 Special Evolution

        Ursaring evolves into Ursaluna with 100 Candy and during a full moon night in Pokémon GO.

        PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

        Ursaring is a phenomenal PvP Pokémon, possessing superb moves that give it extensive coverage. It has one of the best PvP Fast Moves in Shadow Claw, a cheap shield-baiting attack like Swift, and the explosive Close Combat. 👌

        Its low DEF stat of 144 is somewhat of a drawback, but this large bear makes up for it with its formidable moveset. Definitely worth raising one for the lower PvP Leagues. 🐻

        🔵 Great League

        Ursaring is a complete package. Even though it's hindered by low bulk, it manages to beat some of the biggest threats in this format, often serving as a core breaker. 💥
        Notable wins include: Shadow Feraligatr, Galarian Corsola, Lapras, Dewgong, Cradily, Claydol, Guzzlord, Primeape, Golisopod, Skeledirge, and Dunsparce. 👀

        🟡 Ultra League

        Ursaring is a letdown in the Ultra League, where stronger threats are too overwhelming for this fragile Pokémon. It barely secures a few wins, making it not worth adding to your teams. 🙁

        🟣 Master League

        Use its evolution Ursaluna instead.

        Mega Pokémon that boost Ursaring

        Photobomb

        A list of Mega Pokémon that boost Ursaring's Normal-type moves, Candy, and Candy XL from catching Ursaring.

        Normal Normal

        Pokédex informationMore information

        Mega and Primal Raid Bonus –Mega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

        Mega and Primal Catch Bonus –While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

        Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
        • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.

                Catch probability with multiple throws

                In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Ursaring, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

                To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

                Catch rate formula

                Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

                • CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
                • CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

                There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

                Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.
