[SET]
Choice Band (Ursaluna) @ Choice Band
Ability: Bulletproof / Guts
EVs: 152 HP / 188 Atk / 4 Def / 164 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Giga Impact
- Avalanche
- Gunk Shot / Low Kick

[SET COMMENTS]
* Earthquake is for Raging Bolt, Gouging Fire, Iron Crown, and non-Air Balloon Pecharunt.
* Giga Impact is used for Choice Scarf Porygon-Z and non-Choice Band Azumarill.
* Avalanche targets Landorus, Landorus-T, and Garchomp.
* Gunk Shot is for Sylveon and Azumarill, while Low Kick is the best move against opposing Ursaluna, Ursaluna-B, and Air Balloon Heatran.
* Bulletproof helps against Choice Specs Iron Valiant and some Hoopa-U sets, while Guts helps against Will-O-Wisp users like Volcarona, Spectrier, and Weakness Policy + Will-O-Wisp Dragapult.
* The HP and Defense EVs allow Ursaluna to survive Hammer Arm from Choice Band Landorus-T, while the Special Defense EVs allow it to take Hyper Beam from Life Orb Sylveon. The remaining EVs are put in Attack.
* Choice Band Ursaluna should click the most damaging move against its foe unless multiple moves OHKO, in which case it is best to click the most accurate of said choices. Against Substitute users like Volcarona, it is usually better to use Earthquake to avoid a recharge turn with Giga Impact.

while Guts helps against Weakness Policy Dragapult.

Also mention Wisp Spectrier and Wisp Volcarona

Choice Band Ursaluna should click the most damaging move into its opponent unless multiple moves OHKO, in which case it is best to click the most accurate of said choices.

Mention against some Substitute users like Volcarona, it can be better to not use Giga Impact to avoid a recharge turn.

* Giga Impact is for Choice Scarf Porygon-Z and non-Choice Band Azumarill. (include that it works for overall damage as well as these matchups.)
