Movesets et sets compétitifs de Gigantamax Urshifu (Rapid Strike)

Urshifu-R has strong stats and an excellent offensive movepool, enabling it to function as perhaps the lone non-Restricted offensive Water-type that is not dependent on Dynamax in Series 11. Unseen Fist is a fantastic ability for an offensive Pokemon in VGC due to the ubiquity of Protect, and consequently Urshifu-R is able to put tremendous pressure on opposing teams that have limited options of mitigating Urshifu-R's damage output. Surging Strikes is Urshifu-R's best move, as being able to guarantee critical hits is fantastic in a metagame inundated with Intimidate users and screens setters, being able to OHKO Landorus-T and do heavy damage to or outright OHKO Incineroar. Close Combat offers a powerful secondary STAB move and can target Water-types and other Pokemon that resist Surging Strikes. Aqua Jet is a useful move to finish off weakened Pokemon and is oftentimes used to activate a partner Pokemon's Weakness Policy, such as Coalossal. Despite not Dynamaxing often, Urshifu-R opts to use its Gigantamax forme due to its ability to take out important Pokemon like Coalossal through Max Guard. Focus Sash is Urshifu-R's most common item and is useful to mitigate its mediocre bulk and defensive drops from Close Combat. However, while less common, Urshifu-R can run other items such as Mystic Water, Choice Band, and Choice Scarf to boost damage output or Speed and will opt for U-turn over Detect on Choice item sets. In Series 11, Urshifu-R is most commonly used as an offensive support Pokemon on Coalossal teams, as it can utilize Aqua Jet to activate Coalossal's Weakness Policy and offer strong damage output to KO Pokemon weakened by G-Max Vocalith damage. The pair also have strong synergy, as Coalossal and Urshifu-R can threaten each other's most common checks, such as Landorus-T for Coalossal and Grass-types like Venusaur for Urshifu-R. The best choice for a Restricted Pokemon on these teams tends to be Zacian-C or Yveltal, and the rest of the team is typically filled out with Dragapult, Incineroar, and one of either Amoonguss or Rillaboom. However, Urshifu-R can also be a strong Pokemon on other teams that don't use Coalossal, as it still offers stellar offensive pressure that can compliment many Pokemon.
