Ursaluna @ Flame Orb
Ability: Guts

EVs: 120 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def / 132 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake

- Ice Punch
- Drain Punch
Ursaluna smashes through UU as a powerful wallbreaker that can take advantage of Pokemon like Slowking, Toxapex, and Tornadus-T. With the boost from Guts, Facade 2HKOes Hippowdon and OHKOes Slowking, Zapdos, and Rotom-W after some prior damage. Earthquake hits Steel- and Ghost-types such as Tinkaton, Skeledirge, and Pecharunt for super effective damage. Ice Punch enables Ursaluna to have a chance to OHKO Hydrapple as well as being another option against Tornadus-T and Latios. Drain Punch gives Ursaluna the ability to heal off Flame Orb chip damage as well as hitting Tyranitar harder. The EV spread enables Ursaluna to outspeed Skeledirge. Tera Ghost gives Ursaluna an immunity to Fighting-type moves from Cobalion, Mienshao, and Okidogi while blocking Rapid Spin from Excadrill. Ursaluna struggles with faster wallbreakers such as Greninja and Latios, so appreciates checks to these Pokemon such as Tornadus-T and Tinkaton as teammates. Ursaluna does not want to switch directly into attacks, so it appreciates being brought in freely against Pokemon like Slowking by pivots such as Tornadus-T and Cobalion.

Ursaluna smashes through UU! With Flame Orb and Guts, Ursaluna is a powerful wallbreaker. contextualise luna here a bit more, its a powerful wallbreaker but what makes it so excellent is its ability to take advantage of a lot of passive pokemon for these opportunities, and its colossal bulk that lets it trade for kills when at high hp vs a lot of pokemon like tornadus/zapdos etc too when it gets in freely. With the boost from Guts, Facade 2HKOes Hippowdon and OHKOes Slowking, Zapdos and Rotom-W after some prior damage. Earthquake hits Steel and Ghost-types such as Tinakton Tinkaton, Skeledirge, and Pecharunt for super effective damage. Ice Punch enables Ursaluna to have a chance to OHKO Hydrapple as well as being more consistent against Tornadus-Therian, and Latios. not that its more consistent but simply that its just another move that hits these. Drain Punch gives Ursaluna the ability to heal off flame orb chip as well as hitting Tyranitar harder. The EV spread enables Ursaluna to outspeed Skeledirge. Tera Ghost gives Ursaluna an immunity to Fighting moves from Cobalion, Mienshao, and Okidogi. the set you used was tera fairy so just be careful across the writing, i'll change the tera type in the set, keep this line the same (and talk about how you can use it to spinblock potentially too). Ursaluna struggles with faster wallbreakers such as Greninja and Latios and Ogerpon-C, so teammates such as Lokix are appreciated. lokix isn't a switch in to tehse things that force you out though, so I would revisit how you are describing this synergy. Lokix can definitely be talked about for pivoting entry points while offering the revenge killing teammate but it shouldn't really focus the description on checking these things luna struggles with. Excadrill offers rapid spin support, which is crucial as Ursaluna does not want to be chipped. dont want this to be the focus of the writing as I would rather focus on specific synergies and just rocks alone aren't a big deal and mole + luna doesnt necessarily synergise so much. Have a focus on teammates that help get ursaluna its entry points against pokemon it threatens like toxapex, slowking, tornadus etc instead, so we could look at mentioning tornadus-therian here as a teammate instead, which helps much more than lokix does in the previous line because its an actual switch in.

I would like to have another look at this once this has been implemented. I've made a slight change to your EV spread from what we originally submitted to optimise flame orb damage, don't need to explain the reasoning behind this in the writing though.
