- Drain Punch/ Fire Punch
[SET COMMENTS]
Swords Dance Ursaluna is a powerful wallbreaker for Normal-type teams, as it's ability Guts paired with a Flame Orb make its already high attack go even higher. At +2, Facade is a move that, paired with Flame Orb along with a burn, can annihilate even the bulkiest of Pokemon such as Mandibuzz, Galarian Weezing, and Gliscor. After a boost, Earthquake breaks through Steel-type and Fire-type Pokemon such as Gholdengo, non-Air Balloon Heatran, and Archaludon. Drain Punch is a great form of recovery that can provide a bit more longevity to Ursaluna with regen. Alternatively, Fire Punch can be used to immediately KO pokemon such as Corviknight, Skarmory, and Scizor. With 252 Speed, Ursaluna can outspeed Kingambit and Azumarill and hit them hard with STAB Earthquake or Facade.
Hisuian Zoroark is an excellent teammate to pair with Ursaluna with its signature ability Illusion and Ghost-typing, baiting any Fighting-type moves in and hitting back or spreading status with Will-O-Wisp. Ursaluna can take advantage of Hisuian Zoroark's ability and hit the opponent with a powerful STAB move after Flame Orb activates. Hisuian Zoroark has the capability to pivot as well being disguised as Ursaluna. Blissey is an excellent teammate to pair with Ursaluna as it can take damage from special attacking Pokemon such as Latios and use support moves like Thunder Wave or Stealth Rock. Also, Blissey can use Healing Wish to return Ursaluna back to full and activate Flame Orb again. Choice Scarf Indeedee can help remove Fighting-type pokemon such as non-Choice Scarf Iron Valiant, Zamazenta, and Great Tusk with terrain boosted Expanding Force. Terrain also prevents Kingambit and Chien-Pao from using priority moves like Sucker Punch or Ice Shard. Indeedee can also provide Healing Wish support for Ursaluna. Braviary is a bulky Flying-type that pairs well with Ursaluna as it can provide Defog support but also hit additional Fighting- and Grass- types such as Sneasler, Gallade, and the Ogerpon formes. Braviary also provides pivot with access to U-Turn, being able to switch out and allow Ursaluna come in and annihilate. Smeargle is also a great teammate for Ursaluna as its range of support moves like Sticky Web and Spore, lowering speed or putting a foe to sleep so Ursaluna can setup safely.
Other Options
=============
Trailblaze is another move that Ursaluna can use paired with Sticky Web, as the reduction in speed for the opponent can guarantee Ursaluna the ability to outspeed at +1 and hit hard.
