Ursaluna (Japanese: ガチグマ Gachiguma) is a dual-type Ground/Normal Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it evolves from Ursaring when exposed to a Peat Block during a full moon. It is the final form of Teddiursa.

In Kitakami, one particular Ursaluna has a unique form known as Bloodmoon Ursaluna.

Biology

Ursaluna is a large, quadrupedal dark brown bearlike Pokémon with a gray pelt around its back, paws, and round tail. The pelt has nine rectangular brown spikes on its back and four rectangular spikes on each side of its head. The front paws have five claws each while the back paws have three claws. Its face has a light-yellow circle resembling a full moon on the forehead, two gray eyebrows resembling clouds, and a light yellow snout that contains a small, black nose and sharp canine teeth.

Ursaluna's evolution is believed to have been triggered by Ursaring being exposed to the swampy terrain of the Hisui region during a full moon. Ursaluna's physique allows it to travel through the swamps with ease, and it can also manipulate peat to its advantage. Ursaluna are known to be good at searching for items, and even missing persons, using their sense of smell.

A special Ursaluna is worshipped in Hisui for being a descendant of the ten ancient Pokémon blessed by Arceus. It is one of the Ride Pokémon who resides in Crimson Mirelands and assists humans.

Forms

Initial sighting of Bloodmoon Ursaluna

One notable Ursaluna has a unique form called Bloodmoon Ursaluna, also known as the Bloodmoon Beast.

Taller, bulkier, and lighter in color than a regular Ursaluna, its appearance is otherwise largely similar, except for the full moon-like circular mark on its forehead, which is larger and bright red, resembling a blood moon. its left eye, which allows it to see in the dark, is black with a green pupil smaller than the pupil of the right eye. Its hands, legs, chest, back, and the left half of its face are covered in grey mud that is as hard as iron. Unlike regular Ursaluna, this Ursaluna walks on its hind legs (though it still runs on all fours).

This Ursaluna used to live in the Hisui region a long time ago, until it drifted across the seas and arrived at Kitakami, where it made residence in the land's Timeless Woods. It gained special powers due to adapting to the environment of Kitakami. It is highly alert and rarely makes itself seen, but it tends to appear during foggy nights.

Bloodmoon Ursaluna is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Blood Moon, and the only known Pokémon that can have Mind's Eye as an Ability.

Trivia

• Ursaluna, along with Wyrdeer and Kleavor, are the first cross-generational evolutions that evolve from the original form rather than a regional form to be introduced since Sylveon in Generation VI.
  • Coincidentally, their pre-evolutions cannot evolve into them outside of their debut game. In Ursaluna's case, this is due to the absence of the Peat Block.
• In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, if the player has Bloodmoon Ursaluna registered in the Kitakami Pokédex, its Shiny form is viewable in the Pokédex if they also either have or have had a Shiny regular Ursaluna. As Bloodmoon Ursaluna is Shiny-locked (prevented from being Shiny), this is the only way to see its Shiny form in-game.

Origin

Ursaluna may be based on the Ussuri brown bear, a subspecies of the brown bear native to Hokkaido (on which Hisui is based) and its surrounding areas. Its mountain-like body shape and Ground type may refer to Kim-un-kamuy, the Ainu god of bears and mountains, or the fact that Ussuri brown bears mostly live inside burrows excavated into hillsides. Its affinity with peat may be inspired by the real distribution of Ussuri brown bears around former coal mines like Yubetsu, Akan-chō. The pattern on its head evokes the image of a full moon shining through clouds.

Bloodmoon Ursaluna, as indicated by its name, appears to be based on the lunar eclipse phenomenon, also known as "blood moon" due to the Moon appearing red in the sky.

Name origin

Ursaluna may be a combination of ursa (Latin for bear) and luna (Latin for moon).

Gachiguma may be a combination of 月輪 gachirin (round moon) and 熊 kuma (bear).
