Shadow Ursaring's best moveset is Metal Claw with Hyper Beam, worth 21.6 DPS as a Normal-type raid attacker. A TM rerolls at random among its 3 fast and 5 charged non-legacy moves.
It is caught knowing Frustration, which only comes off with a Charged TM during a Team GO Rocket Takeover event — do that before spending Stardust on it.

Shadow Ursaring reaches 3,329 CP at level 50 and 2,945 CP at level 40, both with 15/15/15 IVs. That is the same CP as a regular Ursaring: the Shadow attack bonus applies in battle and never shows in the CP number.

How do you get Shadow Ursaring in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Ursaring is rescued after beating Team GO Rocket, or caught from a Shadow Raid — which Grunts, Leaders and raids carry it changes with every Rocket rotation. It cannot be traded or Mega Evolved. Purifying it costs 3,000 Stardust and 3 Candy and turns it into a regular Ursaring with Return — the Shadow attack bonus is lost for good.
