Bloodmoon Ursaluna is Amazing. Here's Why.

Pokemon Competitive Singles has been turned on it's head with the upcoming release of the "Hidden Treasure of Area Zero" DLC. Bloodmoon Ursaluna sure is an all new Ursaluna. This one uses special attacks though.
The move "Blood Moon" has a very high base power and thanks to "Mind's Eye" also known as "Scrappy 2", nothing can switch in against it. Woohoo!
Iron Mugulis and Iron Fellow know all about it.

Some will never figure out how to get Bloodmoon Ursaluna in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Bloodmoon Ursaluna Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Bloodmoon Ursaluna Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.
Arceus exists.
The below text is very relevant to many people.
Game Freak just blew all other online game development schools out of the water with this incredible new 2022 release. You're gonna need to get a game design degree online, and FAST, if you want to make a better game than this. Not even the best strategy games android reddit could hold a candle to this breathtaking Next generation competitive Pokemon experience.
Scream Tail is the Jigglypuff of our wildest dreams. It has been buffed with some higher statistics and the incredible ability, Protosynthesis. Gen 9 Competitive Pokemon wouldn't be the same without this powerful pink blob. He kinda looks like someone I met in one of my game design and development courses.
Gen 9 Pokemon Showdown is one of the greatest online gaming sites in history. From Pikachu and Charizard, to Palafin and Roaring Moon, The new Pokemon games, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, have introduced a lot of new faces. Can I succeed in one of the best android games of all time? If so, I'm gonna get myself a Walmart bakery Pokemon cake to celebrate.
Gholdengo is a Pokemon made of pure gold. He must have done some online business management courses to accumulate all that wealth. Or perhaps he might want to learn how to make money playing video games on KZbin. In any case, he's a powerful metagame force, with absolutely no interest in online game development schools.

To be fair, I don't think the hype for Ursaluna really died down. Mag got banned, which was the reason trick room could even function well in OU. That was a massive blow to Ursaluna's gameplay. I do think that the pokemon is underexplored though, and in gens going past this one, assuming tera doesn't return, it will be much stronger.

[@wizzlepants1274]

I really don't think Jimothy has a great grasp on Gen 9 OU

[@MacZephyrZ]

Eh at the end of the day it's still a pokemon with amazing attack and bulk, but awful speed, no priority and and no reliable recovery move. It's very good at what it does but it's definitely the type to have to rely on teammates to cover its weaknesses more then most OU pokemon tend to.

[@mandalorianhunter1]

I think it will go up

[@doomknightsepulchure]

Very little of the hype around ursaluna was centered around trick room. It's a historically shit strategy in singles and it's honestly an anomaly that it worked with mag, because mag was that broken. The hype around ursaluna was based around the fact that it could destroy balance teams like a somewhat less powerful dracovish in gen 8, but the hype didn't account for the fact that the pace of the game is a lot faster in gen 9 than in gen 8 and the type of team structure that luna eats for breakfast isn't really prevalent in gen 9. Luna has massacred some stall archetypes but it's not like things were going great for stall before.

Part of the reason I think this mon is so threatening that I dont think people are talking about is how unorthodox it is stat and type wise, Normal and Ground are usually physical attackers so having a very strong special attacker to but past to physical walls would be a surprise, another thing I think its interesting is how this mon has the rare distinct of being a special attacker with high physical bulk, so it goes against any expectation of what you expect in a Normal or Ground type.

Its the same with all forms. Why give a form to a not so well liked mon when you can give forms to already beloved mons to further the hype. In the end, a new form of Charizard will always be more popular than a new form of mightyena.

[@phonepup06]

When we first learned of blood moon it seemed a little concerning since it doesn’t block intimidate. And we just assumed a new ursaluna would be physical this was concerning. However, it’s quite perfect for our special attacking bear

[@wonderfulrose477]

They really gave Tinkaton trash attack to “balance” out gigaton hammer, then made the exact same thing but with 135 attack 😭

[@logicavietii4461]

yoooo, I was featured, I am grateful for the opportunity

Ursaluna bloodmoon's best sets are ones that aren't choiced, so the protect thing is not a good way to handle him, especially since he has good coverage like moonblast.

[@BluThundr]

I like that it's got a limited movepool, but it's movepool is strong enough, Earth Power/Moon Blast/Focus Miss and Vacuum wave are great.

[@Castersvarog]

Plus it has Calm Mind to buff itself further and Moonlight to heal damage, which is pretty insane for Ursaluna

[@InsaneGarrison25]

It actually doesn’t even need coverage. Mind’s Eye lets it hit Ghost types with Normal moves, whereas Earth Power takes care of the Steel and Rock types that sponge Blood Moon

[@daniellejackson6543]

​@5000Gary vacuum wave is priority and can hit mons like corviknight for neutral damage and kingambit for 4x damage.

[@SkorBn]

Calm Mind + Blood Moon + Protect + Earth Power. That's all you need

[@diegomedina9637]

That's more or less the moveset im running for doubles paired with crecelia but instead running Hyper voice (I think that's the name of the attack) Don't really need protect when Crecelia is healing the bear up after calm mind and trick room are set up.

you can also give it taunt and hyper beam to deal with protect

[@aetherblackbolt1301]

Havent had the chance to watch this yet. Does Sleeptalk allow bloodmoon ursaluna to use Blood Moon twice in a row? If so, would it be worth using RestTalk/Earth Power/Blood Moon, as long as you firsr take out Corviknight (and other Steel + Flying/Levitate mons)?

[@cutecombo8496]

Do you have an introduction to gen 3 OU video?

[@daniellejackson6543]

This one might stay in ou due to three moves possibly. Calm mind which makes it impossible to switch into and if you get one or two opportunities to do so you become scary as the special defense is much higher leading to more KOs. Moonlight because access to reliable recovery on a tanky mon is great. And vacuum wave which is pretty good special priority which can threaten kingambit. Regular ursaluna lacks these.

[@shylar763]

Considering that unlike regular Ursaluna where ghost types can be immune to it's insanely powerful Facade, there's nothing immune to Bloodmon Ursaluna's powerful signature move, and that's scary, it also can counter the two types that resist it's signature move with its ground typing

[@CesarTorres61296]

Where's Skarmony when you need them?

[@brastionskywarrior6951]

A physically bulky special attacker that mostly uses ground, fighting and normal moves? Thats a cool idea its nice to see something fresh

[@virtualcolt]

One thing I decided to do with this Ursaluna is run it with Max Special Defense, Max Special Attack and an Assault Vest, because if Tangrowth used to work very well with that even with its base 50 special defense I dont see why Ursaluna cant do the same.

[@crazylasagna3576]

Funnily enough, in AAA, Ursaluna was banned for using the same set as it does in OU yet the Bloodmoon form is kinda meh when it can run things like Adaptability or Beads of Ruin.

[@dynamicsketch]

First thing that caught my eye about this Ursaluna is the Mind's Eye ability which ignores the opponent's evasiness, can't have its own accuracy lowered, and can hit ghost types with normal and fighting type moves. I'm thinking, "Finally! A counter for Minimize Drifblim!"

[@Ieozawa]

blood moon is like the slightly nerf version of boomburst lmao

[@senpai2.054]

"no switch ins" the niche player that is using Lunatone would like to differ. Wait that thing would die to a moonblast anyways.

[@toolofthelord]

I feel like Basculegion with Mold Breaker might be the only viable switch in, right?

[@theKingofDragons420]

I always thought of two thing and those tow things were the bloodmoon ursaluna was going to get a new evolution with a new times skip day like legend of zelda and another was I thought ursaluna bloodmoon form was dark type I mean the red moon means dark right so yeah

The fact it has actual distribution thanks to being a TM now instead of being limited to like five pokemon, most of whom can't even use the move, really helps.

Does anyone have the information on how it interacts with “instruct”? Like does this take away the two turn requirement by forcing it to happen twice in a turn. Like it fails when instructed but you can use it again the next turn or does it just launch off a second bomb!?

[@DMSwordsmaster]

Instruct works with Gigaton Hammer, so it should work with Blood Moon.

Brace yourselves, the Evasion Simps are coming to point at Blood Moon Ursaluna and use it to argue that Evasion isn't broken. And no, the nuance of it being only one Pokemon won't matter to them.

[@Skullhawk13]

Evasion is legal in VGC and sees no play. It’s only broken in the sense it’s terrible. Smogon didn’t ban it over balance, they just hate luck mechanics and outlaw them whenever possible. The fact you think it’s overpowered is pretty funny. Like sure maybe you’ll dodge something but more often you spent so long building it up and then die anyway. The only edge case it had was the pink eggs with minimize was legit good stall but chancy applies basically no pressure.
