You usually get both purely defensive items and one or two defensive-offensive items, regardless of the ability path you choose. The thing is to have (At lv18) a minimum of 3000 HP, 1'3 AS, Tenacity, a slowing effect, and well-round defenses, like 200 armor and mres against balanced teams, and 250 armor/mres against more focused-damage teams. If possible, top it with antiDPS effects (Tabi, Randuin's) and/or antiburst passives (BV, MoM).

Udyr literally has no core, you can build him in many different ways and still be viable and even optimal. He has many flaws, so you should use his flexibility in your favour and counterbuild since the very beginning of the game.
