Biology
Physiology
Ursaring are tall, bear-like Pokémon that stand at about 5′11″ (1.8m). Ursaring have brown fur covering their bodies, except for their muzzles and a ring on their stomachs, both a light tan. They usually stand on their short back feet and seem to be mostly bipedal, using their long, clawed forelegs to climb trees or collect food. As in their pre-evolution, they have small, puffy tails.
Gender differences
The fur around a female Ursaring's shoulders is longer than that of a male.
Special abilities
Despite their large bulk, Ursaring are quite happy to climb trees in search of food or refuge. Ursaring also have an incredible sense of smell, being able to distinguish any scent. Ursaring usually have one of two abilities: Quick Feet, which raises its speed by one point when inflicted with a status condition, or Guts, which raises its attack by 50% when inflicted by a status ailment.
Behavior
Ursaring are known for their food-collecting habits, often walking through forests in the mornings to collect berries. They also have an extremely good sense of smell and use this to dig up food buried deep underground. They have also been observed scratching trees with marks in order to show that they bear good fruit.
Habitat
Diet
Main article: Pokémon food
Like its pre-evolution, it's likely that Ursaring have a preference for honey over other food. In the wild, they usually forage for berries, roots and other plant material. They appear to be herbivores, but considering their muscular body structure and sharp claws, they may eat meat like real bears and be omnivores. However, there has been no documented evidence backing this claim.
In the anime
The Teddiursa in UnBEARable evolved to Ursaring at the end.
Ursaring made appearances in numerous episodes, such as Forest Grumps, where it scared or chased Ash and friends or Team Rocket out of its territory.
Paul owns an Ursaring, which he caught in Different Strokes for Different Blokes.

In the Pokémon Special manga
