Verdict

Shadow Ursaring is a solid but not elite Normal-type attacker, sitting at Tier B (#12) in raid performance. With a max CP of 3,329 and base stats of 236/144/207, it can fill a role on your team if you lack stronger Normal-type counters. The best moveset is Metal Claw paired with Hyper Beam. Consider investing if you need a Normal-type attacker now, but hold off on XL Candy investment as better alternatives exist. A useful stepping stone rather than an endgame pick.
