Teddiursa (Japanese: ヒメグマ Himeguma) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves into Ursaring starting at level 30.

Biology

Teddiursa is a bipedal, ursine Pokémon covered in short, orange-brown fur. Its muzzle is a light tan color with a small black nose and black eyes. There is a slightly paler tan crescent marking on its face, and it has round ears. It has three claws on its forepaws as well as two claws and yellow paw pads on its hind paws. Its tail is short, round, and puffy.

Teddiursa uses Beedrill pollen and fruit to create its own honey. The marking on its face glows when it finds honey already made. Honey is often absorbed into Teddiursa's forepaws, and it is often seen licking them. It will hide food stores throughout its territory before food becomes scarce in winter. Teddiursa lives in mountainous forests.

Major appearances

Teddiursa debuted in Spell of the Unown: Entei, where Molly Hale used an illusion of one, created by the Unown, as her second Pokémon in her battle against Brock. It quickly defeated Vulpix with a combination of Dynamic Punch and Fury Swipes. She was later seen playing with a real Teddiursa during the ending credits.

Teddiursa made its main series debut in UnBEARable. It was a manipulative thief who would pretend to be cute to humans in order to steal their food and blame it on their Pokémon. Ultimately, it evolved into Ursaring at the end of the episode, and was thus no longer able to use its charm on humans with ease anymore.

A Teddiursa is one of the best friends of the Pichu Brothers. It appeared in Trouble in Big Town, Of Meowth and Pokémon, Big Meowth, Little Dreams, and Pichu Bros. in Party Panic, and Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

In Going For A Spinda, a Teddiursa was disguised as a Spinda by Team Rocket. It was tied up in order to lure a Spinda to them, but instead, its Ursaring parent came and blasted them away.

In The Clumsy Crier Quiets the Chaos!, a Pokémon Breeder's Teddiursa was playing with a Bidoof and a Linoone when they were all attacked by a rampaging Salamence. Teddiursa was then taken to a Pokémon Center and healed with the help of Nurse Joy and her Wigglytuff.

In The Power of Us, a Teddiursa befriended by Margo was targeted alongside a Ditto by Pokémon hunters looking for Zeraora. They were then saved by Zeraora, Ash, and his friends.

Trivia

• Teddiursa is one of the fourteen Pokémon for which foreign Pokédex entries can be collected in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
• Teddiursa is the only non-Generation I Pokémon with a unique sprite in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen (aside from the different forms of Deoxys).
• Teddiursa can be seen as a parallel to Phanpy: their evolution lines are exclusive to opposite versions of Pokémon Gold and Silver and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver (and are the only Pokémon to swap version-exclusive status between localizations), they each have one evolved form, and they both have Pickup as an Ability and lose it upon evolution.

Origin

Teddiursa is based on a teddy bear and possibly a sun bear or sloth bear cub, both honey bears. The moon marking and the fact that it is a bear cub may mean it might have been based on the constellation Ursa Minor's mythology.

Name origin

Teddiursa is a combination of teddy bear and ursa (Latin for bear).

Himeguma may be a combination of 姫 hime (princess, small) or hi (an alternate reading of 朏 mikazuki [crescent moon]) and 熊 kuma (bear). Hime is the Japanese word for princess, but also used as small in Japanese nomenclature of species.
