- Bulk Up

[SET COMMENTS]
* Urshifu-S can utilize the Chople Berry to maximize its bulk on both defense sides, allowing it to live non-STAB Fighting-type attacks from the likes of Darkrai, Iron Crown, and Ursaluna.
* Sucker Punch can be utilized to hit Pokemon like Moonblast Cresselia.
* Bulk Up is used as a tool for Pokemon that like setting up on the physical side like Acid Armor Manaphy, while the Defense increase helps Urshifu-S take hits from Ursaluna.
* The EVs allow Urshifu-S to outspeed Modest Hoopa-U and live a Choice Specs Focus Blast from it, as well as live a non-boosted Adamant Close Combat from Haxorus.
* Fighting-type Pokemon, like Iron Hands and Sneasler, are still quite rough for Urshifu-S to handle, as well as Fairy-types like Sylveon, so Pokemon like Pecharunt and Metagross are quite useful for Urshifu-S to have as teammates.
* Despite the EVs on bulk, it's still difficult for Urshifu-S to handle the common special attacker like Primarina and Raging Bolt, so Pokemon that can carry nice special bulk like Florges can also be nice teammates.

* Sucker Punch can be utilized to hit Pokemon like Cresselia and Custap Berry Skeledirge. sidenote but the skeledirge matchup is kinda awkward without av - maybe write about it in a usage tip (you don't want to get exploded by blast burn, sucker exactly 2hkoes the calc spread). maybe also 1-3ish other custap examples bc surely there are more
* Bulk Up is used as a tool for Pokemon that like setting up on the physical side like Acid Armor Manaphy, while the Defense increase helps Urshifu-S take hits from Ursaluna.
* The EVs allow Urshifu-S to outspeed Modest Hoopa-U and live a Choice Specs Focus Blast from it, as well as live an Adamant Close Combat from Haxorus. maybe specify non-choice band since unnerve band does still explode shifu - oh also this spread is 6.3 on specs pult maybe add a tiny bit of spdef (sucker is like 40% rolls)
* Other Fighting-type Pokemon, like Iron Hands and Sneasler, are still quite rough for Urshifu-S to handle, as well as Fairy-types like Sylveon, so Pokemon like Pecharunt and Metagross are quite useful for Urshifu-S to have as teammates. something about a partner with some spdef could be good to mention, even with a lot of spdef invest it's still losing to a lot of special attackers it can't ohko

* Sucker Punch can be utilized to hit Pokemon like Moonblast Cresselia. surely there is more reasons than just this - other custap mons not named skeledirge (hoopa comes to mind). If it's not that relevant you could also consider slashing taunt as well

* Despite the EVs on bulk, it's still difficult for Urshifu-S to handle the common special attackers like Primarina and Raging Bolt, so Pokemon that can carry nice special bulk like Florges can also be nice teammates. This probably needs more examples than florges, which is a rare pokemon
