Teddiursa 100% perfect IV stats, shiny Teddiursa in Pok¨Śmon Go
Everything to get the most out of Teddiursa Spotlight Hour!
This week’s Spotlight Hour is all about the Little Bear Pokémon. That's right - it's obviously time to catch a perfect Teddiursa in Pokémon Go!
Not only is this Pokémon ridiculously cute, but this Spotlight Hour is a great chance to stock up on Candy for a decent Master League Pokémon.
Teddiursa will be spawning en mass alongside this week's other Spotlight Pokémon, Combee. This cute and flavourful dual spotlight is a great idea, showing the awesome symbiosis that is baked into Pokémon lore, and we really hope Niantic keeps this kind of thing up in future.
And if you're not a fan of Go Battle League, that's fine - Spotlight Hours always come with a secondary bonus, and in this case it's double catch Stardust. Now you have a reason to go hunting for bears!

Teddiursa's 100% perfect IV stats in Pokémon Go
This week’s Spotlight Hour is a great opportunity to catch a Teddiursa with perfect IV stats.
For Teddiursa, the CP values which correspond to perfect 15/15/15 stats are as follows:
- Level 30 (wild CP maximum) - 1138 CP
- Level 35 (weather boosted CP maximum) - 1233 CP
Teddiursa's wild CP value aligns with your current Trainer Level until you reach Level 30, so, since the majority of the player base is above this level, we keep to these values for the sake of simplicity. If you're currently beneath Level 30, however, these values will be different.
Perfect stats in Pokémon Go, however, depend entirely on what you want to use your Pokémon for.
A Pokémon that is perfect for the Master League and raids means exclusively 15/15/15 - the best possible stats that a Pokémon can have. Meanwhile, perfect for Great League and Ultra League are completely different, as the goal is to get the lowest attack for the highest defence, and getting that CP as close to the league’s cap as possible.
If you want to run Ursaluna in Go Battle League, you’re looking for different stats:
- A perfect Great League Ursaluna is 5/10/9, reaching CP 1499 at Level 14.5
- A perfect Ultra League Ursaluna is 8/13/14, reaching CP 2500 at Level 23.5
- A perfect Master League Ursaluna is 15/15/15, reaching CP 4358 at Level 50
Teddiursa evolution chart: What does Teddiursa evolve into?
Teddiursa's evolutions all follow the usual theme of becoming a bigger version of the one before. The Little Bear Pokémon Teddiursa evolves into the Hibernator Pokémon, Ursaring, which in turn evolves the Peat Pokémon, Ursaluna. You can read their official Pokédex entries below:
- Teddiursa - 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. Its paws are soaked in oodles of honey. When nervous, Teddiursa will lick its paws and soon have a smile back on its face.
- Ursaring - It usually wears a hardened expression, but when it’s licking up honey - which it loves - the joy it feels will cause it to break into a wide grin. It is quite skilled at climbing trees. If it comes across a Primeape while searching for berries in the treetops, trouble will surely ensue.
- Ursaluna - I believe it was Hisui’s swampy terrain that gave Ursaluna its burly physique and newfound capacity to manipulate peat at will.
Fortunately, in Pokémon Go, all forms of a given Pokémon share the same resources - this means you’ll need a total of 150 Teddiursa Candy in order to complete this evolution line; 50 for Ursaring and another 100 for Ursaluna.
You will also need a Full Moon to evolve your Ursaring into a Ursaluna. This is a unique way of evolving Pokémon in Pokémon Go - if it’s a full moon in real life (and you have sufficient Teddiursa Candy), you can evolve your Ursaring into Ursaluna!
If you’re hurting for candy, use Pinap Berries and Silver Pinap Berries to double the amount of Candy you earn from catching, and make sure to have a Normal-type Pokémon Mega Evolved - a Pidgeot or Lopunny would be ideal - to get one extra Candy per catch without any extra work.
Ursaluna moves and best moveset recommendation
Ursaluna runs Tackle, Swift and High Horsepower. High Horsepower is a Legacy Move that was granted on its Community Day back in 2022, and works as a great nuke. All in all, this is a very good moveset on an extremely bulky, spammy Pokémon.
That said, the bulk is really only a thing in Master League. In Great League, Ursaluna is a glass cannon. You can expect wins against Charjabug, Galarian Moltres, Dunsparce, Talonflame and Goodra, but will lose to Azumarill, Gastrodon, Clodsire, Shadow Feraligatr and Mandibuzz. This isn't great.
As to Ultra League, you're looking at wins against Nidoqueen, Ampharos, Skeledirge, Lickilicky and Tentacruel. Losses will come from Virizion, Clefable, Shadow Drapion, Giratina Altered and Talonflame.
And finally, Master League, where the magic finally happens. A perfect 15/15/15 will max out at CP 4358, which is huge. This will help you win against Dialga, Xerneas, Rhyperior, Giratina Origin and Dawn Wings Necrozma. It's not all gravy, of course - losses will come from Zygarde Complete, Dragonite, Ho-Oh, Yveltal and Mewtwo.
You can see Ursaluna’s full moveset below:
Ursaluna Fast Moves- Tackle (Normal)
- Rock Smash (Fighting)
- Fire Spin (Fire)
- Fire Punch (Fire)
- Thunder Punch (Electric)
- Aerial Ace (Flying)
- High Horsepower (Ground)
The Max Out Season is here. The new global event, Wild Area, is nearly here and In the Wild is our lead-up event, which includes the global release of Toxel. You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.
What do shiny Teddiursa, Ursaring and Ursaluna look like?
The opportunity to catch a shiny form of the highlighted Pokémon is one of the biggest draws of any Community Day event. This is thanks to the increased shiny rate for the event's highlighted Pokémon, along with the fact that Community Days often release a new shiny into the wild. In this case, not only do we have a brand new evolution, but we have its shiny version released at the same time.
To find a shiny Pokémon, you need to either start a catch encounter with a Pokémon in the wild or earn said encounter by completing an activity, like a raid or research task. From there, it's easy to see if you've encountered a shiny Pokémon due to its alternative colouring, the sparkles which shine when the encounter begins and the shiny icon next to the Pokémon's name.
Although shiny Teddiursa has been available in Pokémon Go since March 2020, it's still a relatively rare one to see in the wild. And with the addition of shiny Ursaluna to the game, you'll want to make sure you have a good shiny Teddiursa to evolve!
Below you can take a look at shiny Teddiursa, Ursaring and Ursaluna alongside their regular non-shiny appearances:
As you can see, the first two shinies take on the age-old 'let's just make it green' treatment. While this is far from being the fan favourite treatment, with many players disliking the green sprites, there is certainly a group of players in the community that love it - in which case, enjoy the shinies!
Ursaluna takes a different tack here, instead going for a much subtler change - it keeps its base coat of grey, but swamps its fringes from a peat brown to a rusted red look. The moon emblem on its head also fades from a brighter yellow to a paler off-white colour.
If you want to evolve shiny Teddiursa, we recommend waiting until after the event, where you will have until five hours (until 10pm local time) to evolve it into a Shiny Ursaring, and then Ursaluna and gain the exclusive move High Horsepower. This way you'll have ample time to, hopefully, catch a couple of shiny Teddiursas, along with enough Candy to evolve them, without having to worry about sorting through your collection at the same time. Remember, it's a good idea to check your shiny Teddiursa's stats, because it might have perfect IVs - making it even better for battle!
Evolving a shiny Teddiursa will add a shiny Ursaring and, if you complete the evolution line, shiny Ursaluna to your collection. If you do fully evolve a shiny Teddiursa during the event hours, the resulting shiny Ursaluna will know High Horsepower - the brand-new Ground-type exclusive Charged attack for this Community Day, and Ursaluna's signature move.
Other reasons to catch as many Pokémon as possible
Aside from trying to catch a perfect teddy bear in Pokémon Go, there are a few other reason to partake in this week’s Spotlight Hour.
- The best reason is, of course, the double catch Stardust bonus running throughout the hour. The base rate of 100 Stardust per catch, meaning each catch is worth 200 Stardust.
- If the weather in Pokémon Go is to your favour - in this case Cloudy - you will get twice the normal weather bonus (an additional 50 Stardust).
- This all stacks with a Star Piece to give a x1.5 multiplier to all Stardust gained.
- Thanks to Teddiursa being an Normal-type, catching a bunch during this Spotlight Hour will add progress to your respective catch bonus medal.
Spotlight Hour events only last for an hour from 6pm to 7pm (local time). Come back next week for a primer on Joltik, when it scurries its way into the spotlight!
Good luck finding a perfect Teddiursa!
