Teddiursa

Say it: TE-ddiu-rsa

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand

Teddiursa is the Little Bear Pokémon — Normal before Ursaring and Ursaluna. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Ursaring — not a finished raid attacker. Normal has few offensive strengths; Fighting hits Normal hard. Power-Up Punch from Teddiursa Community Day belongs on Ursaring. Catch Teddiursa from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve.

Say it: TE-ddiu-rsa

Teddiursa (#216) is a Normal Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the baby stage of Ursaring (and Ursaluna). Trainers almost never power Teddiursa for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Ursaring (and Power-Up Punch). Against Teddiursa, lead with Fighting.

Pokédex notes

Teddiursa is a Normal-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO. National Dex #0216. Normal types need coverage moves — check our moveset guide before spending TMs.

Where in GO: Wild spawns, eggs, Field Research, and seasonal events

Invest tip: Do not sink Stardust into Teddiursa. Keep high-IV copies for Ursaring. Save Elite TMs for Ursaring’s Power-Up Punch. Shadow Teddiursa is the same — evolve toward Shadow Ursaring after Frustration removal.
