Bloodmoon Ursaluna Team Movesets & Best Builds

Assault Vest Bloodmoon Ursaluna Moveset & Best Build

Nature	Modest (+Sp. Atk, -Atk)
EV Spread	HP 252 / Sp. Atk 252 / Sp.Def 4
Final Stat Values	HP 220 / Def 140 / Sp. Atk 205 / Sp.Def 86 / Spe 72
Ability	Mind's Eye
Tera Type
Held Item	Assault Vest
Moveset	・ Blood Moon ・ Moonblast ・ Earth Power ・ Vacuum Wave

Bloodmoon Ursaluna naturally has great HP and Defense stats, so this build gives it an Assault Vest to increase its overall bulk.

Since the Assault Vest prevents it from using any status moves, Bloodmoon Ursasluna's moveset is full of offensive moves.

Blood Moon and Earth Power are its strongest STAB moves and Moonblast is its main coverage move that does more damage when it is Terastallized into Fairy. Lastly, Vacuum Wave gives Bloodmoon Ursaluna a +1 priority move to help finish off low HP opponents.

Ability	Sturdy
Tera Type
Held Item	Cornerstone Mask
Moveset	・ Ivy Cudgel ・ Horn Leech ・ Swords Dance ・ Encore

Cornerstone Ogerpon fills a unique niche of being a strong Rock-type attacker. This is important because of all the Fire and Flying-types in the current meta.

With its ability Sturdy, Cornerstone Ogerpon works a great lead to set up for a quick Swords Dance sweep or to stop opposing hazard and setup leads by using Encore.

This build prioritizes improving Scizor's HP and Defense to help it tank hits better and get a Swords Dance Attack boost off comfortably.

Once boosted, Scizor can pressure knockouts with +1 priority STAB Bullet Punches and Technician boosted Dual Wingbeats.

If Scizor is put in a bad matchup, it also has the option to switch out while dealing damage with a STAB U-Turn.

Ability	Protosynthesis
Tera Type
Held Item	Booster Energy
Moveset	・ Moonblast ・ Shadow Ball ・ Mystical Fire ・ Calm Mind

Speed Booster Flutter Mane is the fastest Pokemon in the current meta, and with its amazing offensive coverage, it is also one of the scariest attackers in the game.

Against more passive opponents, it also has the option to use Calm Mind to boost its damage output, making it an even more threatening sweeper.

Rocky Helmet Dragonite Moveset & Best Build

Nature	Adamant (+Atk, -Sp. Atk)
EV Spread	HP 244 / Atk 252 / Def 4 / Sp.Def 4 / Spe 4
Final Stat Values	HP 197 / Atk 204 / Def 116 / Sp.Def 121 / Spe 101
Ability	Multiscale
Tera Type
Held Item	Rocky Helmet
Moveset	・ Roost ・ Earthquake ・ Extreme Speed ・ Tera Blast

Dragonite is one of the best Pokemon right now because of its ability Multiscale halving any damage taken while it is at full health.

Dragonite also has strong coverage moves in Earthquake and Tera Flying Tera Blast. If an opposing Pokemon is at low health, Extreme Speed is nearly guaranteed to knock it out first thanks to its +2 priority being able to outspeed other priority moves.

Finally, Dragonite can use Roost to heal back half of its max HP. If it is healed back to full, then Multiscale will be active again.

Rapid-Strike Urshifu Moveset & Best Build

Nature	Adamant (+Atk, -Sp.Atk)
EV Spread	HP 108 / Atk 132 / Def 172 / Sp. Def 52 / Spe 44
Final Stat Values	HP 189 / Atk 183 / Def 142 / Sp.Def 87 / Spe 123
Ability	Unseen Fist
Tera Type
Held Item	Punching Glove
Moveset	・ Surging Strikes ・ Aqua Jet ・ Close Combat ・ U-turn

This Rapid-Strike Urshifu is built bulkier than most other sets and it can surprise opponents by knocking them out when they expect to knock out Urshifu instead. It can also bypass moves like Protect and Spiky Shield thanks to its ability Unseen Fist.

Its moves are the standard STAB Surging Strikes and Close Combat, along with +1 priority Aqua Jet to knock out low HP opponents and U-Turn to get Urshifu out of bad matchups.

Punching Glove makes Surging Strikes a non-contact move, preventing Urshifu from taking damage from items and abilities like Rocky Helmet and Rough Skin.

Do note that while holding a Punching Glove, Surging Strikes will no longer bypass protection moves because it is no longer considered a contact move for the purposes of Unseen Fist. Close Combat, Aqua Jet and U-Turn will still work though since they are not affected by Punching Glove.

Best Bloodmoon Ursaluna Team Strategies and Synergies

Leads

Offensive Leads
Ogerpon (Cornerstone Mask)	Flutter Mane	Scizor

These three Pokemon all have offensive boosting moves that are great against more passive leads. Cornerstone Ogerpon also has the bonus of being able to lock the opponent into the last move they used with Encore.

Use to Remove Threats

Revenge Killers
Urshifu Rapid-Strike Style	Flutter Mane	Dragonite

The idea is that you would want to remove any threats for your last Pokemon to ensure that they have a safe late game sweep.

Pokemon like Urshifu and Dragonite are harder to OHKO with their bulkier EV spread so they can survive hits and get a knockout in return while Flutter Mane can get quick knockouts before the opponent can even respond.

Preserve for Strong Endgame

Endgame Sweepers
Bloodmoon Ursaluna	Flutter Mane	Urshifu Rapid-Strike Style

Keep your strongest Pokemon alive for an endgame sweep. Flutter Mane and Urshifu are both amazing attackers that can easily finish off the enemy's team while Bloodmoon Ursaluna's bulk and offense can get knockouts without taking a dangerous amount of damage in return.

Sample Core

Offensive Lead	Special Attacker	Special Attacker
Ogerpon (Cornerstone Mask)	Flutter Mane	Bloodmoon Ursaluna

Cornerstone Ogerpon can be used to either get a quick knockout, set up for a Swords Dance sweep, or cripple the opposing lead by using Encore.

Flutter Mane can then be used to get knockouts and remove any threats for Bloodmoon Ursaluna in the back.

With the threats to Bloodmoon Ursaluna gone, it will be in a safe spot to get massive damage off without taking that much damage in return.
