AAA Ursaluna-Bloodmon [QC 1/2]

[Kinetic]

[SET]
Calm Mind (Ursaluna-Bloodmoon) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Storm Drain / Well-Baked Body / Fluffy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD or 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Modest / Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 15 Spe
- Calm Mind

- Earth Power
- Moonlight

Ursaluna-B uses its great Special Attack and physical bulk to be a decent Calm Mind sweeper. Calm Mind lets it boost past and break through foes like Corviknight and RegenVest Manaphy and Swampert, while Moonlight provide additional longevity, letting it use RegenVest users like Swampert and non-Surf Primarina as setup fodder. Storm Drain turns RegenVest users like Swampert, Manaphy, and Primarina into setup fodder and checks Barraskewda, Well-Baked Body counters Fire-types like Ceruledge lacking Close Combat, Iron Moth, and Heatran, letting Ursaluna-B safely set up on them, while Fluffy lets it deal with physical attackers, using Dragonite as setup fodder and checking Fighting-types like Iron Hands and Great Tusk. 252 SpA EVs and a Modest Nature guarantees an OHKO on Dragonite at +1 and defensive Great Tusk, while 252 Def EVs and a Bold Nature help Ursaluna-B better check physical attackers like Roaring Moon and Iron Boulder. 15 Spe IVs let it underspeed Corviknight, preventing it from safely roosting or using U-turn to slow pivot to a teammate that can handle Ursaluna-B. Powerful special attackers like Azelf and Latios appreciate Ursaluna-B's ability to handle threats like Roaring Moon and pressure checks like Swampert for them; in return, they can threaten Fighting-types like Zamazenta and Great Tusk that could threaten it. Ursaluna-B's low Speed leaves it susceptible to threats that can OHKO it like Chien-Pao and Walking Wake, so teammates that can deal with them like RegenVest Primarina are appreciated. It's low Special Defense also lets powerful attackers like Latios and Deoxys-S OHKO it prior to setup, so specially defensive teammates that can check them like Empoleon and Heatran are good pairings. Earth Eater users like Gholdengo and Empoleon can wall Ursaluna-B, so teammates that can threaten them like Roaring Moon and Scrappy Great Tusk are appreciated.

Storm Drain turns RegenVest users like Swampert, Manaphy, and Primarina into setup fodder and checks Barraskewda, Well-Baked Body counters Fire-types like Ceruledge lacking Close Combat and Iron Moth and Heatran while also turning them into setup fodder, while Fluffy lets it deal with physical attackers, using Dragonite as setup fodder and checking Fighting-types like Iron Hands and Great Tusk The phrase "setup fodder" was used multiple times in this sentence and in the previous one, perhaps rephrase them slightly to avoid repetition. 252 SpA EVs and a Modest Nature guarantees an OHKO on Dragonite at +1 and defensive Great Tusk, while 252 Def EVs and a Bold Nature help Ursaluna-B better check physical attackers like Roaring Moon and Iron Boulder. 15 Spe IVs let it underspeed Corviknight, preventing it from safely roosting or using U-turn to slow pivot to a teammate that can handle Ursaluna-B. Powerful special attackers like Azelf and Latios appreciate Ursaluna-B's ability to handle threats like Roaring Moon and pressure checks like Swampert for them; in return, they can threaten Fighting-types like Zamazenta and Great Tusk that could threaten it same thing as earlier. Ursaluna-B's low Speed leaves it susceptible to threats that can OHKO it like Chien-Pao and Walking Wake, so teammates that can deal with them like RegenVest Primarina are appreciated. It's low Special Defense also lets powerful attackers like Latios and Deoxys-S OHKO it prior to setup, so specially defensive teammates that can check them like Empoleon and Heatran are good pairings. Earth Eater users like Gholdengo and Empoleon can wall Ursaluna-B, so teammates that can threaten them like Roaring Moon and Scrappy Great Tusk are appreciated.
