This threat is extremely threatening to opposing teams and if left unchecked can outright sweep teams off of a single free turn. Its combination of coverage allows it to hit the entire tier with at least neutral if not super effective damage, coupled with 130 base attack and a guaranteed Swords Dance, if hazards aren't on the field, lend Ursashock to be one of the most threatening set up sweepers in the tier. Knock Off allows it to eliminate chipped Pecharunt, and at +2, it can even even threaten an ohko on non Heavy Duty Boots variants. Thunderous Wrath and Close Combat together form a rather potent offensive STAB combination that can tear through much of the tier at +.
Team Options
Weaknesses
The main factor that limits Ursashock is the presence of extremely fast attackers, Choice Scarfed Pokemon, and strong priority attackers that can beat Ursashock after it has started setting up and its sash has been broken. Rillaboom is the most prominent of these priority attackers, but other checks include Blacephalon, Mega Aerodactyl, Mega Beedrill, Aegislash, Bisharp, Iron Moth, Hydreigon Keldeo, Zygarde 10%, and Zeraora. These are the more offensive checks, but bulkier checks like Mega Venusaur, Rocky Helmet Pecharunt, Hydrapple, Hippowdon, and Buzzwole do exist.
