Urshifu-S is a powerful, although somewhat niche, wallbreaker, thanks to its great offensive typing paired with its impressive Attack and decent Speed. Wicked Blow's guaranteed critical hit allows Urshifu-S to muscle through the likes of Cosmic Power Arceus formes, Curse Dondozo, and Iron Defense Skarmory, as well as hit through Landorus-T's Intimidate. Sucker Punch gives Urshifu-S a valuable priority move, allowing it to revenge kill faster threats like Choice Scarf Landorus-T, Deoxys, and Mewtwo. U-turn provides momentum on the switches Urshifu-S forces against Pokemon like Blissey, Dialga, and Choice-locked Chien-Pao, although Iron Head can be used alternatively to target Fairy-types like Zacian and Clefable, which otherwise wall Urshifu-S. Tera Dark gives Urshifu-S a boost to its STAB Wicked Blow and Sucker Punch, allowing it to OHKO Arceus formes after Stealth Rock and 2HKO specially defensive Magearna, although Tera Steel can be used instead to provide a useful defensive typing and boost Iron Head's damage, granting favorable damage rolls like OHKOing Clefable. Urshifu-S fits best on teams looking for a powerful wallbreaker with a decent matchup into stall as well. Urshifu-S struggles heavily against Fairy-types like Magearna, Zacian, Clefable, and Terastallized Giratina, so Pokemon that can take these threats on, like Arceus-Poison and a partner Magearna, are helpful to have. Pokemon like Magearna and Palafin can create a great pivot core with Urshifu-S. Urshifu-S is commonly revenge killed by faster offensive threats like Zacian, Mewtwo, Chien-Pao, and Zamazenta-C, so paralysis from Magearna and Giratina or Sticky Web support from Galvantula can be helpful to have.

Urshifu-S is a powerful, although somewhat niche, wallbreaker and attacker in Ubers UU thanks to its great offensive typing, impressive Attack stat coupled with decent Speed, and a powerful ability in Unseen Fist. Wicked Blow always landing a critical hit allows Urshifu-S to muscle through the likes of Palafin, maybe cpower arc? Dondozo, and Skarmory who may have boosted their defenses also maybe worth mentioning that wicked blow hits through landorus intimidate. Sucker Punch gives Urshifu-S valuable priority, allowing it to revenge killer faster threats like Landorus-T, Deoxys, and Mewtwo. U-turn provides momentum on the switchouts Urshifu-S forces against Pokemon like Blissey, Dialga, and choice locked Chien-Pao, although Iron Head is an option to target Fairy-types like Zacian and Clefable, who otherwise wall Urshifu, instead. Tera Dark gives Urshifu-S a boost to its STAB Wicked Blow and Sucker Punch, allowing it to OHKO Arceus-Poison and Arceus-Electric after Stealth Rock and 2HKO Specially Defensive Magearna, although Tera Steel is an option with Iron Head instead to provide a useful defensive typing and boost Iron Head. Urshifu-S fits best on teams looking for a powerful wallbreaker with a decent matchup into stall as well. Urshifu-S struggles heavily against Fairy-types like Magearna, Zacian, Clefable, and Terastallized Giratina, so Pokemon who can take these threats on like Arceus-Poison and a partner Magearna are helpful to have. Pokemon like Magearna, Iron Bundle, and Palafin can create a great pivot core with Urshifu-S. Urshifu-S is commonly revenge killed from faster offensive threats like Zacian, Mewtwo, Chien-Pao, or Zamazenta-C, so paralysis from Magearna and Giratina or Sticky Web support from Galvantula can be helpful to have.

Urshifu-S is a powerful, although somewhat niche, wallbreaker and attacker (a wallbreaker is an attacker)in Ubers UU thanks to its great offensive typing, impressive Attack stat coupled with decent Speed, and a powerful ability in Unseen Fist. (i dont think a single pokemon in this tier uses protect)Wicked Blow always landing a critical hit allows Urshifu-S to muscle through the likes of Cosmic Power Arceus formes, Dondozo, and Skarmory who may have boosted their defenses, as well as hitting through Landorus-T's Intimidate. Sucker Punch gives Urshifu-S valuable priority, allowing it to revenge killer kill faster threats like Landorus-T(lando-T is slower, maybe just add "scarf" here to specify, or change to a diff mon), Deoxys, and Mewtwo. U-turn provides momentum on the switchouts Urshifu-S forces against Pokemon like Blissey, Dialga, and choice-locked Chien-Pao, although Iron Head is an option to target Fairy-types like Zacian and Clefable, who otherwise wall Urshifu, instead. Tera Dark gives Urshifu-S a boost to its STAB Wicked Blow and Sucker Punch, allowing it to OHKO Arceus-Poison and Arceus-Electric (is this specifically non-HP invested mons? if not u should replace w/ "arceus formes" instead)after Stealth Rock and 2HKO Specially Defensive Magearna, although Tera Steel is an option with Iron Head instead to provide a useful defensive typing and boost Iron Head(any notable rolls?). Urshifu-S fits best on teams looking for a powerful wallbreaker with a decent matchup into stall as well. Urshifu-S struggles heavily against Fairy-types like Magearna, Zacian, Clefable, and Terastallized Giratina, so Pokemon who can take these threats on like Arceus-Poison and a partner Magearna are helpful to have.

Wicked Blow's guaranteed critical hit always landing a critical hit allows Urshifu-S to muscle through the likes of Cosmic Power Arceus formes, Dondozo, and Skarmory, (ac) who may have boosted their defenses basically implied with cosmic power mentioned - consider adding the specific Defense-boosting moves before Dondozo and Skarmory so that it's more clear; right now it reads as Cosmic Power may be used by all 3, which isn't the case as well as hitting hit through Landorus-T's Intimidate. Sucker Punch gives Urshifu-S a valuable priority move, allowing it to revenge kill faster threats like Choice Scarf Landorus-T, Deoxys, and Mewtwo. U-turn provides momentum on the switchouts switches Urshifu-S forces against Pokemon like Blissey, Dialga, and choice Choice-locked Chien-Pao, although Iron Head is an option can be used alternatively to target Fairy-types like Zacian and Clefable, who which otherwise wall Urshifu (rc) instead.
