Undo revision 3581762 by Unowninator (talk); Sorry about that. Ursaluna is Teddiursa's final evolution not only in Hisui, since it's not a regional-form evolution but a regular one. See Girafarig's article's discussion.

Teddiursa is a bipedal, ursinePokémon covered in short, orange-brown fur. Its muzzle is a light tan color with a small black nose and black eyes with white irises. There is a slightly paler tan crescent marking on its face, and it has round ears. It has three claws on its forepaws as well as two claws and yellow paw pads on its hind paws. Its tail is short, round, and puffy.
Teddiursa can use Beedrill's pollen and fruit to create its own honey. The marking on its face could glow when it finds a honey already made. Honey tend to be absorbed into Teddiursa's forepaws, and it is always seen licking them. Teddiursa can be cunning, stealing into the nests of Combee and taking the honey that they have amassed for itself. It will hide food throughout its territory before food becomes scarce in winter. Teddiursa lives in mountainous forests.

Teddiursa made its main series debut in UnBEARable. It was a manipulative thief who would pretend to be cute to humans in order to steal their food and blame it on their Pokémon. Ultimately, after a battle with Ash's Chikorita, it evolved into Ursaring and was thus no longer able to use its charm on humans with ease, though it would be able to hunt for food on its own.
In Going For A Spinda, a Teddiursa was disguised as a Spinda by Team Rocket. It was tied up in order to lure a Spinda to them, but instead, its Ursaring parent came and blasted them away.
Teddiursa, the Little Bear Pokémon. This cute, cuddly Pokémon is easily frightened and frequently licks its paws, which are usually covered with sweet honey.
This Pokémon likes to lick its palms that are sweetened by being soaked in honey. Teddiursa concocts its own honey by blending fruits and pollen collected by Beedrill.

Game locations
This Pokémon was unavailable prior to Generation II.
Teddiursa appears to be based on a bear cub, such as the cub of an Asian black bear, whose Japanese name (ツキノワグマ tsukinowaguma) literally means "ring-of-the-moon bear". Teddiursa's appearance also resembles a teddy bear, and possibly the cubs of other honey bear species such as the sun bear or sloth bear.
Name origin
Teddiursa may be a combination of teddy bear and ursa (Latin for bear).
Himeguma may be a combination of 姫 hime (princess; small; prefix for small in Japanese nomenclature of species) or possibly 朏 hi (crescent moon), and 熊 kuma (bear).
