Thanks to its high Attack, respectable bulk, and its ability Guts, Ursaluna can be a devastating threat under Trick Room. It threatens huge damage with Guts-boosted STAB moves. Its slow Speed makes it move before most Pokemon under Trick Room while also Speed tying with minimum Speed Calyrex-I. Facade works in tandem with Flame Orb and Guts to dish out large amounts of damage. Earthquake is a powerful spread move, dealing a lot of consistent damage against both opponents. Swords Dance helps offset Attack drops by Intimidate. Holding a Flame Orb helps it activate Guts, enabling it to sweep in Trick Room while gaining immunity to Spore from Amoonguss. Tera Ghost makes Ursaluna immune to Fake Out from Pokemon like Incineroar and Rillaboom and Fighting-type moves from Koraidon, Urshifu-R, and Zamazenta-C while getting rid of its weakness to Glacial Lance from Calyrex-I.

Ursaluna struggles against Intimidate users like Incineroar, as Intimidate reduces its Guts-boosted Attack. Because Ursaluna takes burn damage every turn, foes can utilize Protect to put it in range of attacks or KO it if it's at low HP without risking any damage. Tera Ghost Incineroar has Fake Out, Intimidate, and Parting Shot and is immune to Facade and neutral to Headlong Rush. Focus Sash Urshifu-S is also a good Ursaluna answer, surviving a hit and firing off a Close Combat or Wicked Blow if Ursaluna has Terastallized Ghost. Meanwhile, Calyrex-I can Speed tie Ursaluna and 2HKO it with Glacial Lance. Lunala functions particularly well with Ursaluna because it has access to Trick Room and Wide Guard to block Glacial Lance while also providing a means to remove Ghost-type Pokemon from the field with its STAB moves. Other good partners for Ursaluna are Farigiraf and Indeedee-F, with both being able to set up Trick Room while blocking priority moves with Armor Tail and Psychic Surge, respectively. Calyrex-I can set up Trick Room and also does damage with its Ice- and Ground-type coverage to punish switch-ins and OHKO Amoonguss and Rillaboom and 2HKO Ghost-types like Calyrex-S. Amoonguss is also a good partner, healing Ursaluna with Pollen Puff, being able to redirect attacks with Rage Powder, and putting opponents to sleep.

Thanks to it’s power, respectable bulk and the ability Guts, Ursaluna can be a devastating threat under Trick Room. It threatens OHKO’s OHKOs thanks to stab Facade, doubling it’s base power to 140 if burned, (Dex info) and Headlong Rush. It’s slow speed makes it a speed tie with some familiar Trick Room Pokémon Pokemon, like Calyrex-Ice rider Calyrex-I, Iron Hands and Kingambit. Holding a flame orb, helps it activate Guts. Ursaluna also gets acces to Play Rough for coverage, Swords Dance for even OHKO'ing Pokémon that resist it's attacks (like?), Drain Punch, healing a respectable amount while doing good damage, and Earthquake for a powerful spread move (The moves aren't a part of the set, so don't explain them). The common approach to ev'ing Ursaluna is to maximize it's HP, making it even more bulkier than it already is, and maximizing it's attack, picking up OHKO's before Trick Room expires The EV investment focuses on maximizing HP and Attack, allowing it to OHKO Pokemon like (Now mention common Pokemon it OHKOs here). Tera Ghost makes Ursaluna immune to Fake Outs Fake Out from Pokemon like Incineroar and Rillaboom and common Fighting-type moves from the likes of Koraidon, Urshifu-R, and Zamazenta-Crowned. Zamazenta-C.

There are a few downsides to Ursaluna of course (Can you phrase this differently, looks a bit unprofessional, upto you though). Intimidate is a good example, bringing it's its attack back to neutral. Thanks to burn, Ursaluna will need to sacrifice a chip of it’s its health at the end of each turn. Ursaluna also relies too much on Trick Room, getting outsped and getting OHKO'd very easily (by what?). Incineroar, getting both Fake Out and Intimidate, does very well against Ursaluna (Is it true though, Ursaluna threatens an OHKO with Headlong Rush, so consider to give something else here). Rillaboom forces Ursaluna to Tera Ghost, being immune to Fake Out and not getting too much damage of thanks to a Grassy Glide. (Has been phrased in a confusing manner, you say it forces to tera and then talk about how Rillaboom isn't doing damage.) Urshifu-Single Strike is also a good answer, holding a Focus Sash, surviving and firing off a Close Combat, or Wicked Blow if Ursaluna terastallizes. There is also a possibility of Sucker Punch. (Not required). Some of the best partners for Ursaluna are Cresselia, being immune to Earthquake thanks to Levitate, and setting up Trick Room safely thanks to it's bulk. (You haven't enlisted Earthquake in its moveset, so why is this point important, also Cresselia isn't relevant in the metagame at all as of now.) Some other good Ursaluna partners are Farigiraf and Indeedee-Female Indeedee-F, both being able to set up Trick Room, while Farigiraf helps blocks priority moves thanks to it's ability Armor Tail and Indeedee-Female Indeedee-F setting up Psychic terrain, they solve one of the biggest weaknesses to Ursaluna. (Is Ursaluna's biggest weakness priority moves?)
(You haven't mentioned its best partner Calyrex-I, which sets up Trick Room for it, Pokemon like Amoonguss are also amazing partners for Ursaluna, and is a common Pokemon on these cores. So list out what Pokemon are better for it clearly and edit that section.)

Tera Ghost makes Ursaluna immune to Fake Out from Pokemon like Incineroar and Rillaboom, and common Fighting-type moves from the likes of Koraidon, Urshifu-R, and Zamazenta-Crowned Zamazenta-C.

There are a few downsides to Ursaluna of course (Same suggestion as before, you can do like - Ursaluna struggles against Intimidate from Incineroar). Intimidate is a good example, bringing its attack back to neutral (Can you explain more on this, you can write it as Intimidate brings its Guts-boosted attack back to neutral.). Thanks to burn, Ursaluna will need to sacrifice a chip of its health at the end of each turn. Incineroar, getting both Fake Out and Intimidate, can circle pretty well against it, by using Fake Out and switching for a second Intimidate can be a disruptive. (I understand you are trying to emphasize that Incineroar can Intimidate it, the problem is Incineroar is Headlong Rush away from dying, so I don't know if it perfectly fits here.) Urshifu-Single Strike is also a good answer, holding a Focus Sash, surviving and firing off a Close Combat, or Wicked Blow if Ursaluna terastallizes. Some of the best partners for Ursaluna are Cresselia, being immune to Earthquake thanks to Levitate, and setting up Trick Room safely thanks to it's bulk. (Same suggestion as before, Cresselia isn't relevant, so remove this.) Some other good Ursaluna partners are Farigiraf and Indeedee-F, both being able to set up Trick Room, while Farigiraf blocks priority moves thanks to Armor Tail and Indeedee-F setting up Psychic terrain, Ursaluna doesn't need to worry about Fake out and other priority moves.
(No mention of Calyrex-I again, and Amoonguss needs to be here, look into my previous QC and this one, and then I'll do a recheck one last time.)

Thanks to it’s power Utilizing its high attack, respectable bulk, and the its ability Guts, Ursaluna can be a devastating threat under Trick Room. It threatens OHKOs (give 1-2 relevant examples for each) thanks to with stab Facade and stab Headlong Rush. (Swords Dance can be considered unobvious, explain its value) It’s Its slow speed makes it outspeed most Pokemon when Trick Room is active and speed tie with some other Trick Room Pokémon, like Calyrex-I, Iron Hands and Kingambit (Speed tying isn't exactly a good quality, and Gambit isn't very relevant). Holding a flame orb, helps it activate Guts, enabling it to sweep in Trick Room, while disregarding Spore from Amoonguss. The EV investment focuses on maximizing HP and attack (obviously, it is max HP and max attack; find a better way to word it or omit and restructure the sentence), allowing it to OHKO Pokemon like Rillaboom, Urshifu-R, Chi-Yu (at least find closer calcs; Chi-Yu gets destroyed no matter the attack investment) and Ogerpon (not relevant unless you give a specific form) with Facade, while it OHKOs Pokemon like Flutter Mane, Miraidon, Raging Bolt and Incineroar, even with after an Intimidate drop with Headlong Rush. Tera Ghost makes Ursaluna immune to Fake Out from Pokemon like Incineroar and Rillaboom, and common Fighting-type moves from the likes of Koraidon, Urshifu-R, and Zamazenta-Crowned Zamazenta-C.

There are a few downsides to Ursaluna, of course however. Intimidate is a good example, bringing its attack back to neutral negating the attack boost from Guts. Thanks to burn As a result of burn, Ursaluna will need to sacrifice sacrifices a chip 1/16th of its health at the end of each turn (also mention how Ursaluna has to waste a turn to get burned, leaving its ally vulnerable). Incineroar, getting both Fake Out and Intimidate, can circle pretty well against it, by using Fake Out and switching for a second Intimidate can be a disruptive. (not necessary) Urshifu-Single Strike is also a good answer, holding a Focus Sash Focus Sash Urshifu-S is a good Ursaluna answer, surviving a hit and firing off a Close Combat, or Wicked Blow if Ursaluna terastallizes is Tera Ghost. (now mention 1-2 more relevant Ursaluna answers) Some One of the best partners for Ursaluna are is Cresselia, being immune to Earthquake thanks to Levitate, and setting up Trick Room safely thanks to it's bulk. (Cresselia isn't too relevant, but more importantly, Earthquake shouldn't be in your set, so don't mention it) Some other good Ursaluna partners are Farigiraf and Indeedee-F, both being able to set up Trick Room, while Farigiraf blocks priority moves thanks to Armor Tail and Indeedee-F setting up Psychic terrain, Ursaluna doesn't need to worry about Fake out and other priority moves blocking priority moves with Armor Tail and Psychic Surge, respectively.

Thanks to its power, respectable bulk, (AC) and the ability Guts, (Mention low speed) Ursaluna can be a devastating threat under Trick Room. It threatens OHKOs (Give some examples) thanks to stab its Guts-boosted STAB moves Facade and Headlong Rush. It’s slow speed makes it speed tie with some other Trick Room Pokemon like Calyrex-I, Iron Hands and Kingambit. (Rework this sentence. Mention how Ursaluna underspeeds most of the meta while also speed tying Calyrex-I) Holding a Flame Orb (RC) helps it activate Guts. (Mention how this makes Ursaluna immune to being put to sleep, which is extremely important when facing Trick Room to get around Amoonguss) (Mention why Facade is the Normal-type move of choice and how it works in tandem with Guts to maximize damage, and why Earthquake is used, and why Swords Dance can be opted over Earthquake in the 3rd slot)The EV investment focuses on maximizing HP and Attack, allowing it to OHKO Pokemon like Rillaboom, Urshifu-R, Chi-Yu and Ogerpon (specify which form or scrap) with Facade, while it OHKOs Pokemon like Flutter Mane, Miraidon, Raging Bolt and Incineroar (RC) with Headlong Rush even after an Intimidate drop after Intimidate. Tera Ghost makes Ursaluna immune to Fake Out from Pokemon like Incineroar and Rillaboom, and common Fighting-type moves from the likes of Koraidon, Urshifu-R, and Zamazenta-C. (Mention how it sheds Ursaluna's weakness to Calyrex-I's Glacial Lance, a TR Pokemon that can match Ursaluna's Speed)

Ursaluna struggles against Intimidate from users like Incineroar (RP) as Intimidate brings its Guts-boosted Attack back to neutral.

Tera Ghost Incineroar, getting having both Fake Out and Intimidate, and as well as being immune to Facade and neutral to Headlong Rush, can circle function pretty well against it with Parting Shot (RC) which can be disruptive. Urshifu-Single Strike is also a good answer, holding a Focus Sash against Ursaluna, thanks to surviving an attack with Focus Sash and firing off a Close Combat, or Wicked Blow if Ursaluna terastallizes. (Mention Calyrex-I as a threat since it always forces Ursaluna to Terastallize with Glacial Lance while tanking Guts-boosted Facade, and matches its Speed) Some of the best partners for Ursaluna are Farigiraf and Indeedee-F (All but one of the Day 2 teams of the most recent 3 tours had Lunala as the partner, and only 2 among them had either Indeedee-F or Farigiraf), both being able to set up Trick Room (RC) While Farigiraf and blocks priority moves thanks to Armor Tail and Indeedee-F setting up Psychic Terrain, respectively. Ursaluna doesn't need to worry about Fake out and other priority moves. (Mention Lunala being a reliable TR setter, and how it's Wide Guard can help Ursaluna use Earthquake freely and block Glacial Lance. Lunala getting rid of Ghost-types in Trick Room also deserves a mention) Calyrex-I can set up Trick Room while also doing damage with Glacial Lance, with its Ice-Ground Ice and Ground-type coverage being really good to punish switch-ins and OHKO Amoonguss and Rillaboom, and 2HKO Ghost-type Pokemon like Calyrex-S. (RC) Amoonguss is also a good partner, healing it (RC) Ursaluna with Pollen Puff and being able redirect damage attacks and putting opponents to sleep.

(Move the Flame Orb activating guts sentence below the moves explanation) Since Flame Orb activates at the end of a turn, Ursaluna will have to waste the first turn it is on the field. Burn lets it double Facades base power, dealing massive damage. Facade works in tandem with Flame Orb and Guts to dish out large amounts of damage.

A way around this is Swords Dance before setting Trick Room up. (Mention Swords Dance in the first paragraph instead) Focus Sash Urshifu-S is also a good Ursaluna answer, surviving a hit and firing off a Close Combat, or Wicked Blow if Ursaluna is Tera Ghost. Meanwhile, Calyrex-I forces Ursaluna to Terastallize and having the same Speed stat can speed-tie Ursaluna and 2HKO it with Glacial Lance. Lunala, having access to Trick Room and Wide Guard to block Glacial Lance while also providing a means to remove Ghost-type Pokemon from the field with its STAB moves, functions particularly well with Ursaluna.
