Chances are you've seen this moveset before, and it works pretty well. Curse up and beat whatever comes in before it Roars you away. Rest when low on health and continue the carnage with Sleep Talk. Ursaring has decent defenses, and Curse boosts his Defense more.
A more general attacking Ursaring. The Sleep Talk moveset is so standard that the automatic switch into Ursaring is something like Gengar or Rhydon. That's when you smack them with Earthquake. Zap Cannon is for Starmie, Cloyster, and Skarmory, and it hurts coming from that decent Special Attack. Or, you can Roar away pseudo-Hazers to give you a chance to Curse.
Other Options
Counter works great with his HP and Defense to give Rhydon, Snorlax, and Tyranitar something to think about.
Opinion
Ursaring is a complete monster, and is not to be underestimated. He's the reason you should try to put a Ghost/Rock/Steel-type Pokémon on your team. He's somewhat hard to switch in, but if you can get him in with little damage done, he will leave a mark on just about anything—if not sweep the opponent's team. After a few Curses, most things in the game are going to get OHKO'd by him.
Counters
Most Pokémon that resist Normal-type moves will counter the Sleep Talk set—Skarmory, Steelix, Forretress, Gengar, and Scizor are all good examples. However, the second set listed is harder to counter. Skarmory still works, as long as it avoids Zap Cannon, and Forretress works as well. However, Pokémon weak to Ground-type moves must beware of Earthquake from that set.
