Bloodmoon Ursaluna is one of the most intriguing Pokémon to emerge from Scarlet and Violet. After proving its strength in competitive mode, players are now hoping to see many more of its kind in the future.

While Miraidon stole the show and shocked everyone at the Indianapolis Regionals last weekend, Bloodmoon Ursaluna was another key part of Rajan Bal's winning team and also gained popularity in Regulation G. The scary bear works well in Trick Room with a slower speed, great defense, and a massive Special Attack stat of 135. Additionally, his signature Ability, Mind's Eye, allows him to target popular Ghost Pokémon including Calyrex Shadow Rider and Flutter Mane with his devastating Blood Moon move.
Bloodmoon Ursaluna is indeed every bit as powerful as its intimidating appearance suggests. But there's plenty more to the bear that Pokémon players love, with many praising it as a Pokémon that's "special and hard to find" in a May 6 Reddit thread.
“Beautiful variation on the original,” one player noted. “We need more [Pokémon] that are variations on the original that aren’t just a paradox or a regional version.” Part of what makes Bloodmoon Ursaluna so appealing is how it’s obtained and the mystery behind it. Currently, the only way to catch Bloodmoon Ursaluna is by completing a side quest with Perrin in The Teal Mask DLC, making it as rare as Legendary Pokémon. Despite the limitations, players applauded Game Freak for making it more accessible compared to other special variant ‘mons like Battle Bond Greninja or Own Tempo Rockruff. Hopefully, newer special forms will follow Bloodmoon Ursaluna’s lead in future generations.
