Teddiursa (JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Normal-type Pokémon that made its first appearance in the second generation games Gold and Silver. It evolves into Ursaring starting at level 30.
Physiology and Behavior[]
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 with white irises. 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 can use Beedrill's pollen and fruit to create its own honey. The marking on its face could glow when it finds a honey already made. Honey tend to be absorbed into Teddiursa's forepaws, and it is always seen licking them. It will hide food throughout its territory before food becomes scarce in winter. Teddiursa lives in mountainous forests, where it will hide food throughout its territory before food becomes scarce in winter.

Origin and inspiration[]
Teddiursa appears to be based on a bear cub, such as the cub of an Asian black bear, whose Japanese name literally means "ring-of-the-moon bear". The fact that Teddiursa always licks its paws covered in honey mimics the bears' weakness for it. Teddiursa's appearance also resembles a teddy bear, and possibly the cubs of other honey bear species such as the sun bear or sloth bear. The marking on Teddiursa's face may come from the aforementioned Asian black bear and the crescent moon it is similar to. The connection between a bear and a celestial body may also reference the Ursa Minor and Ursa Major constellations, Teddiursa being the former one.
