[SET COMMENTS]
Set Details
========
- Urshifu-R is one of the format's top offensive threats, thanks to its high Attack and strong STAB moves. Unseen Fist allows Urshifu-R to circumvent foes' Protect, which reduces the number of defensive plays the opponent can go for if you can position Urshifu-R correctly. Urshifu-R has especially strong matchups against Incineroar, Chi-Yu, Chien-Pao, and Terapagos.
- U-turn allows Urshifu-R to reposition while dealing chip damage to threats such as Rillaboom. Aqua Jet allows Urshifu-R to pick off faster foes at low HP. Coaching can be used to boost the Attack and Defense of teammates, usually Calyrex-I. Rock Tomb is a more niche option that can be used for speed control, and it's especially appreciated by Calyrex-S in the mirror matchup.
- Urshifu-R's Choice Scarf allows it to outspeed most of the metagame, most importantly Calyrex-S, ensuring it can get strong attacks off. Choice Band is a more niche option to boost Urshifu-R's damage output further, allowing it to 2HKO Calyrex-I with Surging Strikes or Close Combat.
- The allocated bulk allows Urshifu-R to survive Incineroar's Fake Out into Calyrex-S's Astral Barrage, while the Attack investment allows Tera Water Choice Scarf Urshifu-R to OHKO most Calyrex-S.
- Tera Water boosts the damage of Surging Strikes, which allows Choice Scarf Urshifu-R to OHKO most Calyrex-S. It also removes Urshifu-R's weakness to Psychic- and Fairy-type attacks. Tera Ghost gives an immunity to Fake Out as well as Zamazenta-C's Body Press and opposing Urshifu formes' Close Combat.

Teambuilding
=========
- Raging Bolt can OHKO Urshifu-R with its priority Thunderclap. Flutter Mane and Whimsicott also threaten to OHKO Urshifu-R with Moonblast, with the former outspeeding it and the latter resisting all its STAB attacks. Amoonguss can safely redirect all of Urshifu-R's attacks and potentially deal damage back with Rocky Helmet.
- Koraidon's sun weakens the damage of Surging Strikes, while Life Orb Close Combat will OHKO Urshifu-R. Choice Specs Miraidon OHKOes Urshifu-R with any of its attacks.
- Rillaboom and Incineroar's pivot moves allow Choice Scarf Urshifu-R to get in position safely. Strong speed control options such as Tornadus's Prankster Tailwind and Lunala's Trick Room can ensure Choice Band Urshifu-R is always moving first.
- Tornadus's Bleakwind Storm and Chien-Pao's Icicle Crash threaten the Grass-types that are strong against Urshifu-R as well as Miraidon and Raging Bolt.
- Kyogre and Pelipper set the rain to power up Urshifu's Surging Strikes as well as overriding Koraidon's sun. Calyrex-I benefits from Urshifu-R's Coaching, which allows Calyrex-I to better take on Koraidon and Groudon.

have made changes. I'm a little unsure about where to put calcs, people are saying to put it in the section about the items, in which case should I just remove the bullet point dedicated to evs all together?
 
You're good to send to GP after implementing these final changes! You should include calcs for both. In the items section add offensive calcs specifically for Choice Band, and in the EVs section it would be offensive calcs for Choice Scarf. If you have further questions ping or dm me on discord. 2/2
