[SET COMMENTS]

Set Details
========
-Mystic Water Urshifu-R is a highly versatile and offensive Pokemon that performs well into threats like Terapagos, Incineroar, and Chien-Pao by threatening them all with Surging Strikes.
-Taunt allows it to prevent Trick Room from foes like Calyrex-I and Lunala, setup from Volcarona and Terapagos, and moves like Rage Powder and Spore from Pokemon like Volcarona and Amoonguss. Aqua Jet is also a great option to finish off weakened foes and deal chip damage before Urshifu-R faints.
-Mystic Water heavily benefits Urshifu-R, giving it the ability to OHKO Pokemon it otherwise could not, such as Chien-Pao, Incineroar, and bulky Flutter Mane with Surging Strikes.
-The EV spread lets it live Life Orb-boosted Astral Barrage from Calyrex-S, Life Orb-boosted Earth Power from Landorus, Horn Leech from Ogerpon-C, Sword of Ruin-boosted Body Press from Zamazenta-C, and Sword of Ruin-boosted Grassy Glide from Rillaboom. The Speed lets it outpace Terapagos and Pokemon like Chien-Pao after a Speed drop.
-Tera Water functions as both an offensive and defensive Tera Type by removing Psychic-, Fairy-, and Flying-type weaknesses, while also boosting Water-type moves to let Urshifu-R OHKO Calyrex-S and most Grimmsnarl with Surging Strikes, and Chi-Yu with Aqua Jet.

Teambuilding
=========
-Urshifu-R struggles against Restricted Pokemon like Koraidon, which weakens Surging Strikes by setting sun. It also has a hard time versus Miraidon, which can outspeed and threaten an OHKO with Volt Switch or Electro Drift.
-Non-Restricted Pokemon that can take Urshifu-R's attacks well like Iron Hands, Raging Bolt and Rillaboom-who also threaten Urshifu-R before and after Terastallization-are very effective into it as well. Amoonguss can redirect and easily survive Urshifu-R's attacks and punish Surging Strikes if Amoonguss is holding a Rocky Helmet, disrupting Urshifu-R significantly. Ogerpon-H and Ogerpon-C pose an offensive threat to Urshifu-R with potential OHKOs using Wood Hammer or Power Whip.
-Urshifu-R heavily benefits from Tailwind, making setters like Whimsicott and Tornadus great partners. Tornadus also provides Rain Dance to boost its Water-type attacks significantly, while Whimsicott can provide Light Screen support, which lets Urshifu-R survive attacks such as a Protosynthesis-boosted Thunderclap from Raging Bolt and Flutter Mane Moonblast.
-Miraidon is a strong Restricted partner for Urshifu-R as it prevents Spore from Amoonguss, and can threaten Water and Dragon-type foes that Urshifu-R struggles to damage, like Koraidon and opposing Urshifu-R. Urshifu-R also supports Miraidon by helping against Ground-types like Ursaluna and Landorus.
-Calyrex-I and Lunala are strong Restricted partners for Urshifu-R because they can set Trick Room to provide another form of speed control. Calyrex-I also helps cover Miraidon by threatening it with powerful Ground- and Ghost-type coverage, while Urshifu-R supports them by checking Incineroar.
-Kyogre benefits Urshifu-R by setting the rain, increasing the power of its Water-type moves.
-Chien-Pao is an excellent teammate, boosting Urshifu-R’s attacks with Sword of Ruin-allowing it to OHKO Ogerpon-H with Surging Strikes-while also threatening Miraidon, Raging Bolt, and Rillaboom with Ice Spinner or Icicle Crash.
-Balance staples like Rillaboom and Incineroar also support Urshifu-R, as they can pivot into attacks Urshifu-R would rather avoid and provide Fake Out pressure that synergizes well with Unseen Fist.

-Mystic Water Urshifu-R is very versatile and offensive Pokemon that performs well into Restricted threats like Terapagos and Kyogre, as well as common non Restricted's such as Incineroar, Chien-Pao and Chi-Yu. Move this under set details and Urshifu-R doesn't matchup particularly well into Kyogre, mention something else
Set Details
========
-Taunt allows it to shut down Trick Room from foes like Calyrex-I and Lunala, potential setup from Volcarona or Terapagos or support from the aforementioned Volcarona and Amoonguss. Aqua Jet is also a great option to finish off weakened foes. You could expand this to talk about dealing chip damage when foes will move before Urshifu-R and before it faints
-Mystic Water heavily benefits Urshifu-R, giving it the ability to OHKO Pokemon it otherwise wouldn't without Mystic Water such as Chien-Pao, Incineroar and Flutter Mane with Surging Strikes. It also give it room to run more bulk as less EV's are needed in Attack. Irrelevant
-The EV spread lets it live Life Orb-boosted Astral Barrage from Calyrex-S, Life Orb-boosted Earth Power from Landorus, Horn Leech from the Ogerpon forms, Sword of Ruin-boosted Body Press from Zamazenta-C, and Sword of Ruin-boosted Grassy Glide from Rillaboom. The Speed gives it the edge against Modest/Bold Terapagos, Adamant Rillaboom and Base 135 Speed Pokemon like Miraidon and Chien-Pao after a Speed drop.
-Tera Water functions as both an offensive and defensive Tera Type by getting rid of its Psychic, Fairy and Flying weaknesses and giving it enough of a boost to OHKO Calyrex-S and Grimmsnarl with Surging Strikes, and Chi-Yu with Aqua Jet.

Teambuilding
=========
-Urshifu-R struggles into sun setters like Koraidon, due to their weakening of its primary attack in Surging Strikes, and Pokemon which can take Urshifu-R's attacks well like Miraidon, Raging Bolt and Rillaboom, who also threaten Urshifu-R in and out of Tera. You need to mention more checks and go into further detail about them, also worth splitting this into two bullet points one for restricteds and one for non restricteds.
-Pokemon who provide speed control like Tornadus, Whimsicott, Lunala and Calyrex-I via Tailwind and Trick Room greatly benefit Urshifu-R, and Pokemon who set rain such as Tornadus and Kyogre. Chien-Pao is also an excellent partner for it as it boosts its attacks with Sword of Ruin, and does well into the previously mentioned Miraidon, Raging Bolt and RIllaboom. Landorus also threatens these, but doesn't boost Urshifu-R. Again you need to go into a lot more detail here, an example structure would be naming a partner and explaining how it helps Urshifu-R then talk about how Urshifu-R helps the partner

Redirectors like Amoonguss and the Ogerpon formes Surging Strikes easily dispatches the two most common formes can disrupt Urshifu-R's offense. You rewrite this part about Amoonguss to emphasise that it can easily survive Urshifu-R's attackas and punish Surging Strikes if it is holding a Rocky Helmet While Taunt can shut down Amoonguss, the The Ogerpon forms pose an offensive threat to Urshifu-R with potential OHKOs using Wood Hammer or Power Whip—especially Ogerpon-W, which is immune to its Water-type attacks. Low usage

Landorus also threatens these, but doesn't boost Urshifu-R. Remove unless you can rewrite this in a more meaningful way Calyrex-I and Lunala are strong Restricted partners for Urshifu-R because they can set Trick Room to provide another form of speed control, and Urshifu-R helps them by checking Incineroar. Kyogre also benefits Urshifu-R by setting the rain, increasing the power of its Water-type moves.

Set Details
========
-Mystic Water Urshifu-R is a very versatile and offensive Pokemon that performs well into Restricted threats like Terapagos and Calyrex-S (Needs tera to even beat it 1v1, so definitely not), as well as common non Restricted's non-Restricted Pokemon such as Incineroar, Chien-Pao and Chi-Yu by threatening them all with Surging Strikes.
-Taunt allows it to shut down prevent Trick Room from foes like Calyrex-I and Lunala, potential setup from Volcarona or Terapagos,(AC) or and support moves like Rage Powder and Spore from the aforementioned Pokemon like Volcarona and Amoonguss. Aqua Jet is also a great option to finish off weakened foes,(RC) and deal chip damage before Urshifu-R faints.
-Mystic Water heavily benefits Urshifu-R, giving it the ability to OHKO Pokemon it otherwise couldn't without Mystic Water such as Chien-Pao, Incineroar,(AC) and bulky (Sash Flutter gets easily OHKO'd regardless) Flutter Mane with Surging Strikes.
-The EV spread lets it live Life Orb-boosted Astral Barrage from Calyrex-S, Life Orb-boosted Earth Power from Landorus, Horn Leech from the Ogerpon forms (Probably just say Ogerpon-C here for relevance's sake), Sword of Ruin-boosted Body Press from Zamazenta-C, and Sword of Ruin-boosted Grassy Glide from Rillaboom. The Speed gives it the edge against Terapagos, Rillaboom and Base 135 Speed Pokemon like Miraidon (Doesn't technically "give it the edge" against Miraidon, even if it outspeeds, it's not doing a lot) and Chien-Pao after a Speed drop.
-Tera Water functions as both an offensive and defensive Tera Type by getting rid of its Psychic-, Fairy-, and Flying-type weaknesses and boosting its Water-type moves enough to OHKO Calyrex-S and Grimmsnarl (There are definitely a fair amount of Grimmsnarl spreads that can cut those chances nearly to half; you could probably get away with saying "some Grimmsnarl" or "most Grimmsnarl") with Surging Strikes, and Chi-Yu with Aqua Jet.

Teambuilding
=========
-Urshifu-R struggles into Restricteds Restricted Pokemon like Koraidon, which weakens Surging Strikes by setting sun. As well as Additionally, it struggles against Miraidon who can out speed outspeed and pressure Urshifu-R for with an OHKO with Volt Switch or Electro Drift. (I think Calyrex-S is good enough to add here, up to you)
-Non-Restricted Pokemon which can take Urshifu-R's attacks well like Iron Hands, Raging Bolt and Rillaboom, who also threaten Urshifu-R in and out of Tera before and after Terastallization are very effective into Urshifu-R as well. Amoonguss can redirect and easily survive Urshifu-R's most common attacks and punish Surging Strikes if its Amoonguss is holding a Rocky Helmet, disrupting Urshifu-R significantly (No spore mention?). And the Ogerpon forms Ogerpon-H and Ogerpon-C pose an offensive threat to Urshifu-R with potential OHKOs using Wood Hammer or Power Whip.
-Urshifu-R heavily benefits from Tailwind, making setters like Whimsicott and Tornadus great partners. Tornadus provides both Tailwind for and Rain Dance to boost its Water-type attacks significantly. Whimsicott can also set Tailwind and provide Light Screen support, which lets Urshifu-R survive attacks such as a Protosynthesis-boosted Thunderclap from Raging Bolt and Flutter Mane Moonblast. (This is a little longer than it should be; you already said they were Tailwind setters, so no need to repeat) Chien-Pao is also an excellent teammate for it as it boosts its attacks with Sword of Ruin, which can allow Urshifu-R to OHKO Ogerpon-H with Surging Strikes, and Chien-Pao threatens the previously mentioned Miraidon, Raging Bolt and Rillaboom with Ice Spinner or Icicle Crash. Calyrex-I and Lunala are strong Restricted partners for Urshifu-R because they can set Trick Room to provide another form of speed control, and Urshifu-R helps them by checking Incineroar (Worth mentioning that Calyrex-I covers Miraidon for Urshifu-R). Kyogre also benefits Urshifu-R by setting the rain, increasing the power of its Water-type moves. Include the balance mons like Incineroar for simple Fake Out+Unseen Fist synergy and definitely include Miraidon (helps with Amoonguss and certain mons Urshifu-R can't hit for much like Dragon- and Water-types). Those were its 2 most common partners at NAIC

(Separate partners section into multiple bullets please)

Set Details
========
-Mystic Water Urshifu-R is a highly versatile and offensive Pokemon that performs well into threats like Terapagos, Incineroar, and Chien-Pao by threatening them all with Surging Strikes and Close Combat (because Terapagos is on the list).
-Taunt allows it to prevent Trick Room from foes like Calyrex-I and Lunala, setup from Volcarona and Terapagos, and moves like Rage Powder and Spore from Pokemon like Volcarona and Amoonguss. Aqua Jet is also a great option to finish off weakened foes and deal chip damage before Urshifu-R faints.
-Mystic Water heavily benefits Urshifu-R, giving it the ability to OHKO Pokemon it otherwise could not, such as Chien-Pao, Incineroar, and bulky Flutter Mane with Surging Strikes.
-The EV spread lets it live Life Orb-boosted Astral Barrage from Calyrex-S, Life Orb-boosted Earth Power from Landorus, Horn Leech from Ogerpon-C, Sword of Ruin-boosted Body Press from Zamazenta-C, and Sword of Ruin-boosted Grassy Glide from Rillaboom. The Speed lets it outpace Terapagos (this delves into speed creeping, which unfortunately isn't allowed in analyses. Is there anything else the Speed might do?) and Pokemon like Chien-Pao after a Speed drop.
-Tera Water functions as both an offensive and defensive Tera Type by removing Psychic-, Fairy-, and Flying-type weaknesses, while also boosting Water-type moves to let Urshifu-R OHKO Calyrex-S and most Grimmsnarl with Surging Strikes, and Chi-Yu with Aqua Jet.

Teambuilding
=========
-Urshifu-R struggles against Restricted Pokemon like Koraidon, which weakens Surging Strikes by setting sun. It also has a hard time versus Miraidon, which can outspeed and threaten an OHKO with Volt Switch or Electro Drift.
-Non-Restricted Pokemon that can take Urshifu-R's attacks well like Iron Hands, Raging Bolt and Rillaboom-who also threaten Urshifu-R before and after Terastallization-are very effective into it as well. Amoonguss can redirect and easily survive Urshifu-R's attacks and punish Surging Strikes if Amoonguss is holding a Rocky Helmet, disrupting Urshifu-R significantly. Ogerpon-H and Ogerpon-C pose an offensive threat to Urshifu-R with potential OHKOs using Wood Hammer or Power Whip.
-Urshifu-R heavily benefits from Tailwind, making setters like Whimsicott and Tornadus great partners. Tornadus also provides Rain Dance to boost its Water-type attacks significantly, while Whimsicott can provide Light Screen support, which lets Urshifu-R survive attacks such as a Protosynthesis-boosted Thunderclap from Raging Bolt and Flutter Mane's Moonblast.
-Miraidon is a strong Restricted partner for Urshifu-R as it prevents Spore from Amoonguss, and can threaten Water and Dragon-type foes that Urshifu-R struggles to damage, like Koraidon and opposing Urshifu-R. Urshifu-R also supports Miraidon by helping against Ground-types like Ursaluna and Landorus.
-Calyrex-I and Lunala are strong Restricted partners for Urshifu-R because they can set Trick Room to provide another form of speed control. Calyrex-I also helps cover Miraidon by threatening it with powerful Ground- and Ghost-type coverage, while Urshifu-R supports them by checking Incineroar.
-Kyogre benefits Urshifu-R by setting the rain, increasing the power of its Water-type moves.
-Chien-Pao is an excellent teammate, boosting Urshifu-R’s attacks with Sword of Ruin-allowing it to OHKO Ogerpon-H with Surging Strikes-while also threatening Miraidon, Raging Bolt, and Rillaboom with Ice Spinner or Icicle Crash.
-Balance staples like Rillaboom and Incineroar also support Urshifu-R, as they can pivot into attacks Urshifu-R would rather avoid and provide Fake Out pressure that synergizes well with Unseen Fist.
