Chople Berry (Ursaluna-Bloodmoon) (M) @ Chople Berry
Ability: Mind's Eye
EVs: 252 HP / 124 Def / 76 SpA / 56 SpD
Modest Nature
- Blood Moon
- Earth Power
- Counter
- Smack Down / Hyper Voice / Vacuum Wave

[SET COMMENTS]
- Chople Berry leverages Ursaluna-Bloodmoon's naturally high defense stat to cover its usual weakness to Fighting-type move users, such as Choice Band Urshifu-S and offensive Iron Valiant sets.
- Blood Moon is Ursaluna-B's strongest Normal-type STAB move, and Mind's Eye allows it to hit Ghost-types like Dragapult.
- Earth Power serves as a powerful secondary stab, hitting Steel-types like Metagross and Poison Types like Iron-Moth and Sneasler.
- Counter utilizes Ursaluna-B's high physical defense to reflect back damage from strong physical attackers, such as Haxorus and Choice Band Urshifu-S.
- Smack Down allows Ursaluna-B to beat Corviknight by removing its ground immunity. Hyper Voice allows it to beat SubSeed Whimsciott, and is helpful (but not foolproof) against Substitute + Reversal Sneasler as it can run Endure to muddle the match-up against Non-Vacuum Wave Ursaluna-Bloodmoon. Lastly, Vaccum Wave secures the matchup against Dragapult and Liechi Berry Sneasler.
- The EV spread allows it to live an Adamant Choice Band Haxorus' Close Combat, and a Timid Choice Specs Iron Valiant's Focus Blast.
- While it has high physical defense, its low special bulk makes Ursaluna-B weak to special attackers such as Primarina, Walking Wake and Raging Bolt. Thus, using it with an Assault Vest user, such as Hoopa-U, or a Pokemon with high Special Bulk such as Hisuian Goodra is recommended.

- Chople Berry leverages Ursaluna-Bloodmoon's naturally high defense stat to cover its usual weakness to Fighting-type move users, such as Haxorus (unnerve, use different example) and Offensive Iron Valiant sets.
- Blood Moon is Ursaluna-B's strongest Normal-type STAB, with is (typo, but also implies the move is able to hit ghost types and not minds eye) unique ability allowing it to hit Ghost-types like Dragapult.
- Earth Power serves as a powerful secondary stab, hitting Steel-types like Metagross and Poison Types like Iron-Moth and Sneasler.
- Counter utilises Ursaluna-B's high physical defense to reflect back damage from strong physical attackers, such as Haxorus, Choice Band Urshifu-S, and Landorus-T.
- Smack Down allows Ursaluna-B to beat Corviknight, by removing its ground immmunity.
- Hyper Voice allows it to beat SubSeed Whimsciott and is helpful (but not foolproof) against Substitute + Reversal Sneasler. (possibly worth mentioning sub pressure stall zapdos/entei? super not seen in sv tho will leave it up to you).
- Vaccum Wave secures the matchup against Dragapult and Liechi Berry Sneasler. also gives potential drago rolls.
- The EV spread allows it to live an Adamant Choice Band Haxorus' Close Combat, and a Timid Choice Specs Iron Valiant's Focus blast.
- While it has high physical defense, its low special bulk makes Ursaluna-B weak to special attackers such as Primarina, Walking wake and Raging Bolt. Thus, using it with an Assault Vest user, such as Hoopa-U, or a Pokemon with high Special Bulk such as Hisuian Goodra is reccomended.

- Chople Berry leverages Ursaluna-Bloodmoon's naturally high defense stat to cover its usual weakness to Fighting-type move users, such as Choice Banded Urshifu-S and offensive Iron Valiant sets.
- Blood Moon is Ursaluna-B's strongest Normal-type STAB move, and Mind's Eye allows it to hit Ghost-(AH)types like Dragapult. (Try to add more examples on what to use Blood Moon against.)
- Earth Power serves as a powerful secondary stab, hitting Steel-types like Metagross and Poison Types like Iron-Moth and Sneasler. (+1 252+ Atk Sneasler Reversal (200 BP) vs. 252 HP / 124 Def Chople Berry Ursaluna-Bloodmoon: 414-487 (96.2 - 113.2%) -- 75% chance to OHKO, probably best to find another example over Smeargle here, maybe add a mention for a Fire-type like Heatran or Hisuian Arcanine, idk. I don't think this is super type based tho...)
- Counter utilises utilizes (freaking americans dude...) Ursaluna-B's high physical defense to reflect back damage from strong physical attackers, such as Haxorus, Choice Band Urshifu-S, and Landorus-T. (I think you really should figure out how to rewrite this at least a little bit, because clicking Counter as something like Landorus-T or Haxorus clicks Bulk Up or Swords Dance, respectively, is not a way to win those matchups. Just try to be more specific on the sets it beats. Also, Blood Moon also just nukes most Haxorus sets, so yeah...)
- Smack Down allows Ursaluna-B to beat Corviknight,(RC) by removing its ground immmunity immunity.
- Hyper Voice allows it to beat SubSeed Whimsciott, (I'm not 100% sure if SubSeed is accepted as a term yet for analyses but that's up to the GP team probably...) and is helpful (but not foolproof) against Substitute + Reversal Sneasler. (okay so how exactly is it not foolproof? I thought you can just go Blood Moon into Earth Power into Hyper Voice?)
- Vaccum Wave secures the matchup against Dragapult and Liechi Berry Sneasler, while also giving it favourable favorable (why do americans exist...) rolls against frailer, Non-Assault Vest Regidrago spreads.
- The EV spread allows it to live an Adamant Choice Band Haxorus' Close Combat, and a Timid Choice Specs Iron Valiant's Focus Blast.
- While it has high physical defense, its low special bulk makes Ursaluna-B weak to special attackers such as Primarina, Walking Wake,(AC) and Raging Bolt. Thus, using it with an Assault Vest user, such as Hoopa-U, or a Pokemon with high Special Bulk (either make this lowercase or say Special Defense) such as Hisuian Goodra is reccomended recommended.

I'll take another look before I 2/2 but I don't think it'll be too much to change if I say anything at all after this. You have my discord so just contact me on there if you have any questions.
 
Hyper Voice allows it to beat SubSeed Whimsciott, and is helpful (but not foolproof) against Substitute + Reversal Sneasler.

Explain this point more. Why is it not foolproof?
While it has high physical defense, its low special bulk makes Ursaluna-B weak to special attackers such as Primarina, Walking Wake,(AC)
Remove the AC there.

I’ll take one more look
 
- Smack Down allows Ursaluna-B to beat Corviknight by removing its ground immunity.
- Hyper Voice allows it to beat SubSeed Whimsciott, and is helpful (but not foolproof) against Substitute + Reversal Sneasler as it can run Endure to muddle the match-up against Non-Vacuum Wave Ursaluna-Bloodmoon.
Click to expand...

Make all of these one point. If you think there's a reason to do Counter / Hyper Voice to allow for Hyper Voice + Vacuum Wave for a better Sneasler matchup, feel free to do that.

Probably make a point about the Sneasler matchup as a whole.

(sorry im qcing this aggressively but I've also been dead activity wise so like rip...)

2/2 once implemented, if you want to make a point abt the sneasler matchup I'll double check it before you send it to gp
