This bear deserves to be on the VR. I get that it’s kinda slow, but it still wallbreaks and forces trades very well. You don’t even need a Swords Dance boost; Guts-boosted Facade just explodes Steel-types and assorted physical walls.

Anyways, the calcs are well and good, but I’m not just theorymonning. I spammed an Ursaring-Garde team on ladder and peaked at #9 with it. Here are some replays: I just used Protect + 3 Attacks and Ursaring was usually good for 2+ kills per game. It was really good at paving the way for Garde, but you could easily pair it with another cleaner that appreciates its powerful wallbreaking (like Scarf Heracross or Scarf Krookodile). It’s not a perfect mon — it’s slow and will only get 1-2 opportunities to do its job —but it seems better than most of the stuff in the mid-low B’s and it is, at the very least, viable.
