A defensive Calm Mind + Z move set for Ursaluna-Bloodmoon. Please not this set is used in a National Dex format, which is NatDex Monotype. Calm Mind boosting Ursaluna-Bloodmoon's Special Attack and Special Defense make it a scary wincon. After getting off a few Calm Minds, this bear can easily fold Blissey and Chansey as if they were lawn chairs, even without EVs invested into Special Attack. Blood Moon is a really powerful Normal STAB that can even hit Ghost-types thanks to Mind's Eye. Problem is, you can't use it every turn. However, this set has an item to bypass this: Normalium Z. With Normalium Z, Ursaluna cannot only bypass the turn it can't use Blood Moon, it also turns into a 200 BP move for a one-time nuke. After the Z-move, this bear can use Blood Moon again, ignoring the turn you can't use Blood Moon. In other words, Ursaluna-BM can use a 140 BP STAB move, use Z-move to bypass the turn and have a 200 BP STAB move, then use a 140 BP STAB move again. Earth Power lets Ursaluna hit most Steel-types super effectively, though most Steel-types don't like switching into a boosted Blood Moon. Vacuum Wave is an option over Earth Power to have a priority move that can still hit most Steel-types super effectively. Moonlight allows Ursaluna-BM to recover HP so it can stay around longer.
252 HP EVs are used for bulk. 68 Speed EVs are used to let Ursaluna-BM outspeed base 60 Pokemon such as Aegislash, Galarian Weezing, Empoleon, and Clefable. The rest of the EVs are used in Defense with a Bold Nature to allow Ursaluna-BM to tank physical attacks.
