[SET COMMENTS]
Boasting a great Special Attack stat, substantial physical bulk, and access to recovery, Ursaluna-B is a premier wallbreaker on Ground teams, offering major support in the Dark, Ghost, and Dragon matchups. Blood Moon paired with Mind's Eye allows Ursaluna-B to OHKO Ghost-type threats like Brambleghast, Dragapult, and Spectrier while also doing considerable damage to walls such as Rotom-W, Gliscor, and Gastrodon. Earth Power nails Steel-types such as Heatran, Hisuian Goodra, and Empoleon, forming a nearly unresisted combination of coverage with Blood Moon. Vacuum Wave prevents Ursaluna-B from being revenge killed by faster Ice-type threats, OHKOing Alolan Sandslash and having a chance to OHKO Chien-Pao. Wise Glasses may be used instead of Heavy-Duty Boots to secure an OHKO on Chien-Pao as well as make it easier to clean up weakened Meowscarada, Greninja, and Darkrai. However, Ursaluna-B is often pivoted in due to its bulk, putting it at risk for chip damage if not running Heavy-Duty Boots. The given EV spread allows Ursaluna-B to outpace uninvested Hisuian Goodra, Clefable, and Empoleon while maximizing power and bulk.

Gliscor is an excellent teammate due to its resistance to Fighting, switching into Great Tusk, Infernape, and Sneasler for Ursaluna-B. Furthermore, Ursaluna-B recieves a plethora of utility support from Gliscor via Toxic, Spikes, and pivoting with U-turn, enhancing Ursaluna-B as a wallbreaker. In return, Ursaluna-B picks off Chien-Pao and swaps into Ghost-type moves from Hisuian Zoroark, Skeledirge, and Spectrier. Furthermore, Ursaluna-B can sponge Ice Spinner from Great Tusk and Iron Treads using Gliscor's Protect to scout them. Iron Treads is appreciated due to its entry hazard removing ability and Steel typing, warding off Ice- and Fairy-types, such as Alolan Ninetales, Flutter Mane, and Frosmoth, as well as switching into Toxic. In return, Ursaluna-B breaks past Ground-types like Gliscor, defensive Great Tusk, and Quagsire. Clodsire and Gastrodon offer an immunity to Water-type attacks from Barraskewda, Greninja, and Walking Wake while also setting up a mix of entry hazards to wear down teams for Ursaluna-B. Additionally, Clodsire is a very bulky specially defensive wall, capable of fighting off Grass- and Fairy-types such as Meowscarada, Iron Valiant, Sinistcha, and Alolan Ninetales, while Ursaluna-B threatens Sableye and Hatterene for Clodsire. Choice Scarf Great Tusk outpaces and removes threats like Baxcalibur, Mamoswine, and Ogerpon-W. Great Tusk, in return, appreciates the removal or weakening of Slowbro, Rotom-W, and Gliscor. Choice Scarf Landorus provides a Fighting-type resistance and an adequate Speed tier threatening Great Tusk and Zamazenta while also removing Dragon Dance Baxcalibur lacking Ice Shard. Mamoswine is heavily valued due to its ability Thick Fat, allowing it to combat Alolan Ninetales, Articuno, and non-Choice Band Chien-Pao as well as Grass-types like Meowscarada and Hisuian Lilligant using Ice Shard. In return, Ursaluna-B threatens Rotom-W and Skeledirge. Garchomp is a valued wallbreaker due to its ability to take out Kommo-o, Ogerpon-W, and Baxcalibur lacking Ice Shard while appreciating Ursaluna-B removing physically defensive walls. Quagsire provides chip damage buildup with Stealth Rock and Toxic as well as checks threats such as Chien-Pao, Zamazenta, and Azumarill. Sandy Shocks is a great asset in the Water and Flying matchups, threatening Urshifu-R, Corviknight, Basculegion-F, and Pelipper as well as stacking entry hazards for Ursaluna-B's wallbreaking.

Furthermore, Ursaluna-B recieves a plethora of utility support from Gliscor via Toxic, Spikes, and pivoting with U-turn, enhancing Ursaluna-B as a wallbreaker.

Additionally, Clodsire is capable of fighting off Grass-types such as Meowscarada and Rotom-C (probably a fairy type mention is better over Rotom-C, uncommon. Its also a general special wall). Choice Scarf Great Tusk outpaces and removes threats like Baxcalibur, Mamoswine, and Urshifu (also beats Oger-W) as well as weakens shared checks such as Corviknight (not really on corv or moongi imo, unless you want to mention a band set too) and Amoonguss. Great Tusk in return appreciates the removal or weakening of Slowbro, Rotom-W, and Gliscor. Landorus whilst also providing a Fighting-type resistance helps Ursaluna-B's wallbreaking endeavors exponentially with Gravity, easing the Flying matchup and securing the Steel matchup (its also a fast guy, nice for beating Tusky and Ursh which tho BM can win against, probably wouldnt try against because he'll lose too much HP. Can also use scarf to beat DD Bax lacking shard and Zama which is scary :(). Mamoswine is heavily valued due to its ability Thick Fat, allowing it to combat Alolan Ninetales and Articuno (cuno feels like an odd mention here, maybe something else instead?) as well as threatening Flying and Grass teams. (missing Garchomp, Sandy Shocks, and Quagsire)

Wise Glasses may be used instead of Heavy-Duty Boots to secure an OHKO on Chien-Pao as well as make it easier to clean up weakened Meowscarada, Greninja, and Darkrai in a pinch, (maybe split into two sentences) however, Ursaluna-B is often pivoted in due to its bulk, putting it at risk for chip damage if not running Heavy-Duty Boots. The given EV spread allows Ursaluna-B to outpace uninvested Hisuian Goodra (and Clef and Empoleon) while also maintaining a maximum damage output maximizing power and bulk.

Gliscor is an excellent teammate due to its Fighting-type resistance, switching into Great Tusk, Infernape, and Sneasler for Ursaluna-B. Furthermore, Ursaluna-B recieves a plethora of utility support from Gliscor via Toxic, Spikes, and pivoting with U-turn, enhancing Ursaluna-B as a wallbreaker. In return, Ursaluna-B picks off Chien-Pao and swaps into Ghost-type moves from Hisuian Zoroark, Skeledirge, and Spectrier (Ursa-B 1v1s Scarf Treads or Tusk locked into Ice Spinner too; can scout using Protect on Glisc). Iron Treads is appreciated due to its entry hazard removing ability and Steel typing, warding off Ice- and Fairy-types such as Alolan Ninetales, Flutter Mane, and Frosmoth (also blocks Toxic; Ursa-B threatens Gliscor). Clodsire and Gastrodon offer an immunity to Water-type attacks from Barraskewda, Greninja, and Walking Wake while also setting up a mix of entry hazards to wear down teams for Ursaluna-B. Additionally, Clodsire is a very bulky Specially Defensive wall, capable of fighting off Grass- and Fairy-types such as Meowscarada, Iron Valiant, Sinsitcha, and Alolan Ninetales (Ursa-B returns favor by putting pressure on Sableye and Hatterene). Choice Scarf Great Tusk outpaces and removes threats like Baxcalibur, Mamoswine, Ogerpon-W, and Urshifu. Great Tusk in return appreciates the removal or weakening of Slowbro, Rotom-W, and Gliscor. (Choice Scarf? Presume you mean that bc you mention Zamazenta, Lando struggles against it otherwise) Landorus provides a Fighting-type resistance and an adequate Speed tier threatening Great Tusk and Urshifu, outpaces and removes Dragon Dance Baxcalibur lacking Ice Shard and Zamazenta, and helps Ursaluna-B's wallbreaking endeavors exponentially with Gravity, easing the Flying matchup and securing the Steel matchup (don't really think Gravity is super useful for Ursa-B, it helps for sure but it's only really impactful for Corv which Grav Lando can take care of itself. Maybe rewrite this sentence a bit to bring this to attention and also differentiate to Choice Scarf Lando). Mamoswine is heavily valued due to its ability Thick Fat, allowing it to combat Alolan Ninetales and non-Choice Band Chien-Pao as well as threatening Flying and Grass teams (could be a bit more specific; Mamo can do stuff like OHKO Meow and Lilli-H with CB Ice Shard. CB Mamo is also really good vs Articuno which Ursa-B struggles against. In exchange Ursa-B can deal with mons like Skeledirge and Rotom-W). Garchomp is a valued wallbreaker due to it's ability to take out Kommo-o, Ogerpon-W, and Baxcalibur lacking Ice Shard (benefits from Ursa-B taking care of physical walls). Quagsire provides chip damage buildup with Stealth Rock and Toxic as well as walls (doesn't really wall all of these because if they're CB it gets owned. Quag is more useful against stuff like Azu and Zama) Ice-type threats such as Chien-Pao, Baxcalibur, and Mamoswine. Sandy Shocks is a great asset in the Water and Flying matchups, threatening Urshifu-R, Corviknight, Basculegion-F, and Pelipper (stacks hazards too).
