In the fictional Pokémon universe, {{nihongo|'''Ursaring'''|リングマ||'''Ringuma''' in original [[Japanese language]] versions}} is a [[bear]] Pokémon that evolves from [[Teddiursa]]. It is the larger of the two [[bear]] Pokémon (three if you count [[Spinda]]).

Ursaring's name is composed of ''ursa'' (the Latin term for bear) and ''ring'' (a reference to the ring upon its belly).

Its Japanese name is Ringuma, a [[portmanteau]] of the English word ''ring'' and the Japanese word ''guma'', a form of ''kuma'', which is Japanese for bear.

==Biology==
Although it is large, it is actually an [[arboreal]] pokémon, able and willing to climb trees and sleep in their canopies. Its [[claw]]s are somewhat modified from a real-world bear's for this task.

Unlike its unevolved form, [[Teddiursa]], Ursaring is a [[forager]], although it is known to eat meat (including other Pokémon) when hungry. Ursaring also differs from [[Teddiursa]] in that while its unevolved form requires periodic supplements of food during the winter (for which it stores nuts and berries), Ursaring can sleep through an entire winter without food.

Ursaring is also an accomplished digger, and it often digs for [[potato]]es, [[truffles]], or other such vegetables to eat. Although it is a digger, it does not naturally sleep in caves.

Ursaring's sense of smell is among the most developed of all Pokémon; it can detect subtle differences in scents. For this reason, Ursaring is sometimes used by police in the Pokémon universe, both as a strong enforcer, and as an explosive-sniffing Pokémon.

==In the ''Pokémon'' video games==
Ursaring can be found in four games. In [[Pokémon Gold]], it can be found on Victory Road, Mt. Silver, and Route 28. In [[Pokémon Crystal]], it can be found on the [[Blackthorn City]] side of the Dark Cave and in the Silver Cave. In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], it can be Snagged in the Team Snagem Hideout after defeating [[Evice]] and completing the game.

==Anime appearances==
In the movie [[Pokémon 4Ever]], Ursaring is one of the Pokémon which guides Ash and company to the injured [[Celebi]].After that a forest full of angry ones appeared in the anime. He was also captured by [[Shinji (Pokémon)|Shinji]] in the episode called "Forest of Hesitation! Shinji Again!"

==In the trading card game==
Ursaring, as a stage 1 colorless Pokémon, has appeared in the following sets:
*''Neo Discovery''
*''Neo Destiny'' (as Dark Ursaring)
*''Skyridge''
*''EX Unseen Forces''

==Trivia==
*For April Fools in 2002, someone created a fake Pokemon, Pandough, which supposedly evolved from Ursaring.
