How to beat Ursaring!
Grizzly Bears are immense and powerful animals that are dangerous so it should come as no surprise that Ursaring the Pokemon based off of a bear is also powerful. Ursaring is the evolution from the Pokemon Teddiursa. Teddiursa might be the cutest pokemon of all. He is a cute looking Teddi bear but after Teddiursa evolves into Ursaring there is no mistaking that it is a force to be reckoned with.
Ursaring is number #6 on the max CP list for Gen 2 Pokemon.
Ursaring - 2760 CP Max !!!!
I have caught one Teddiursa in my limited playing time of Pokemon Gen 2. My guess is that it is Uncommon but not rare. This will likely make Ursaring fairly common in gyms down the road as people catch and evolve enough Teddiursas to evolve Ursaring.

For a defensive style counter you could try Steelix who generally has some of the highest defensive measures against Ursarings move sets.
Steelix has low offensive capabalities against Ursaring however so I would generally favor the offensive option with Machamp.
Another defensive option is Shuckle.
