Mind's Eye	Assault Vest

Mind's Eye is a powerful Ability, and is Bloodmoon Ursaluna's only Ability. This allows it to deal damage to Ghost-types with its Normal and Fighting-type Attacks.

Assault Vest is chosen for this build so that Bloodmoon Ursaluna can increase its low Special Defense stat, further increasing its already immense bulk.

Moves Breakdown

Blood Moon	Earth Power
Hyper Voice	Vacuum Wave

Blood Moon is a Bloodmoon Ursaluna's Signature Move, which inflicts huge damage, but cannot be used in the succeeding turn.

Earth Power is a strong, secondary STAB option, which is good for damaging Ground-weak Pokemon such as Heatran if it isn't Terastallized yet.

Hyper Voice is its back up Normal-type for turns after Blood Moon was used.

Vacuum Wave gives Bloodmoon Ursaluna a +1 priority attack that can't be walled by Ghost-types thanks to Mind's Eye.

Best Tera Type: Normal

EV Spread and Nature

Full 252 EVs are put into Bloodmoon Ursaluna's HP and Special Attack, while the remaining 4 EVs are put into Special Defense, so that Bloodmoon Ursaluna can better take the occasional Hydro Pump.

A Modest Nature is chosen so that we can maximize Bloodmoon Ursaluna's Special Attack, but a Quiet Nature may be preferred in a dedicated Trick Room Team.

Other Viable Moves

Moonblast	A strong coverage move that helps it deal with Fighting-types.

Best Tera Type: Fairy

Fairy is the best Tera Type for this build as it is a good defensive typing with its only weaknesses being types that Bloodmoon Ursaluna threatens.

Alternatively, it could use a Stellar Tera since Bloodmoon Ursaluna is forced to use a different move after using Blood Moon, making it naturally synergize well with how a Stellar Tera works.

How to Use Bloodmoon Ursaluna Effectively

Use Its Signature Attack, Blood Moon

Blood Moon is a strong attack that hits neutral on most types. Use this to deal good damage and put opponents in KO range for Bloodmoon Ursaluna's teammates.

Bloodmoon Ursaluna also enjoys teammates that can consistently deal damage, as they can put opponents within KO range of Bloodmoon Ursaluna's attacks.

How to Build a Team with Ursaluna

Sample Singles Team

Lead / Defog	Special Attacker	Physical Attacker
Corviknight	Bloodmoon Ursaluna	Rillaboom

Bloodmoon Ursaluna is an incredibly strong but slow special attacker. Its Normal/Ground typing combined with its ability Mind's Eye makes it a potent threat to any Pokemon.

A good Flying-type Pokemon like Corviknight is great for Bloodmoon Ursaluna since it can cover for some of its weaknesses while also providing Haze and Tailwind support.

Lastly, you would want a strong Grass-type like Rillaboom to help round out and cover for Bloodmoon Ursaluna's other weaknesses.

Sample Doubles Team

Support	Special Attacker
Dusclops	Bloodmoon Ursaluna
Special Attacker	Support / Special Attacker
Armarouge	Indeedee (Female)

Dusclops can consistently set up Trick Room thanks to its monstrous bulk with Eviolite. It has access to Helping Hand, and a consistent means of dealing damage through Night Shade.

Bloodmoon Ursaluna also improves your matchup against Chi-Yu Flutter Mane, being immune to Shadow Ball. It is able to threaten opposing Chi-Yu with Earth Power, and Flutter Mane with its Normal-type attacks which will be able to hit it thanks to Mind's Eye.

An improved matchup against Chi-Yu Flutter Mane makes it so Armarouge and Indeedee can come in and pose a threat.

Counters for Bloodmoon Ursaluna

Hit Bloodmoon Ursaluna with Super-Effective Physical Moves

Bloodmoon Ursaluna can easily get KOd by Attacks like Dragonite's Flying Tera Blast, or Scizor's X-Scissor because of its mediocre HP and physical defense.
