Choice Scarf Urshifu-R is a good late-game cleaner and revenge killer due to its ability to threaten defensive Pokemon like Heatran, Gliscor, Great Tusk, Landorus-T, and Ferrothorn with its powerful STAB moves. It also sports a great Speed stat, allowing it to outspeed the majority of the unboosted metagame, including Mega Lopunny, Dragapult, and Zamazenta. Surging Strikes's guaranteed critical hit chance means Urshifu-R ignores the Attack drop from Landorus-T's Intimidate and the Defense boost from Zamazenta's Dauntless Shield. U-turn helps Urshifu-R to keep up momentum throughout the course of a game and also take advantage of defensive switch-ins like Toxapex and Alomomola for its teammates to set up on. Aqua Jet allows Urshifu-R to pick up KOs on Pokemon that are at low HP but outspeed it, like Speed Booster Energy Iron Valiant and Unburden Hawlucha. Ice Spinner is a great tool in assuring high damage on important targets like Dragonite and Dragapult.

Urshifu-R is a great choice on more balance-oriented teams as the speed control option, and it loves the company of teammates like Landorus-T, which helps Urshifu-R by setting up Stealth Rock and forming a good pivoting core with it. Mega Diancie is great at helping Urshifu-R deal with bulky Dragon-types like Dragonite and Kyurem, and it can take a Choice Specs Moonblast from Iron Valiant and KO it back; it can also set up entry hazards. While Landorus-T only has the option of setting up Stealth Rock, Gliscor can choose to be a Spikes setter helping to cut into the health of the bulky Water-types that wall Urshifu-R even further. Urshifu-R has the ability to break a lot of Steel-types, most notably Ferrothorn, so it can pave the way for Steel-weak Pokemon like Tapu Lele; in return, Tapu Lele is able to help Urshifu-R with most Dragon-types, most notably Dragonite, which it struggles to hit if it is not running Ice Spinner. One of the biggest Urshifu-R checks is Iron Valiant, which can take all of its attacks and KO it back with Moonblast. Mega Scizor can safely switch into Iron Valiant's moves and threaten high damage with Bullet Punch. Urshifu-R's powerful Close Combat neutralizes Dark-types such as Kingambit and Mega Tyranitar, which paves the way for teammates like Mega Latios and Mega Latias. Their strong special STAB moves are also a boon for Urshifu-R, as they can take advantage of bulky Water-types like Alomomola and Toxapex, which otherwise wall it. Electric-types like Raging Bolt and Tapu Koko are also great in this regard, with Urshifu-R being able to help with Ground-types like Iron Treads and Gliscor in return. Urshifu-R is heavily hindered by abilities and items that punish it for making contact, most notably Static from Zapdos and Flame Body from Moltres, as they are able to switch into Urshifu-R's Close Combat and U-turn and punish it via status conditions. Dragapult also is as a big Urshifu-R deterrent, as it can tank both of its STAB moves and hit back hard with Draco Meteor or ruin it with Will-O-Wisp. Thus, Urshifu-R appreciates the presence of Pokemon like Mega Tyranitar and Kingambit, as they can Pursuit trap Dragapult, with Mega Tyranitar also being able to safely get rid of Zapdos and Moltres.

Choice Scarf Urshifu Rapid-Strike is a terrific good this feels like overselling esp in a dragapult/zardy meta breaker due to being able to threaten defensive Pokemon like Heatran, Gliscor, Great Tusk, Landorus-T and Ferrothorn with its powerful stab moves, while also being able to outspeed another frequent scarf user in Tapu Lele the entire unboosted metagame including Iron Valiant and Mega Lopunny too specific mentioning lele of all things. U-turn allows Urshifu to pivot out throught the course of the game, mainting momentum and getting its teammates in during clutch moments should mention letting urshifu abuse defensive switch ins like tangrowth for its teammates to setup on. Aqua Jet is for picking up KOs on Pokemon that are at low health that would outspeed Urshifu otherwise, like Iron Valiant with Booster Energy or a Pokemon that has boosted up its speed Unburden Hawlucha removed is wayyy too vague. Ice Spinner helps with fast kills on Pokemon like Dragonite, Tornadus-Therian and Dragapult, but generally Aqua Jet will be better as the 4th move slot why?.

Urshifu pairs well with Pokemon that are on the slower side, who can get brought in when needed by a U-Turn, this doesnt make sense and is a bit of filler; it would make sense if u said FRAILER mons, not slower ones, since they actually struggle to get in and need the uturn Landorus-T is a great teammate for Urshifu, as the two form a strong pivot core, being able to get in on each other's weaknesses and cover them any examples of this? could mention lando beating raging bolt for shifu while shifu beats gliscor for it. Landorus-T sets up hazzards and poisons prime targets with Toxic, helping Urshifu come in more easily and finish off would be checks which have been chipped by now. filler Urshifu has the power to counter break counter is a bit misleading; shifu doesnt exactly "counter" ferro for example, it just breaks it a lot of the steel types running around, so it can pave the way for steel weak Pokemon like Tapu-Lele, which it can also easily get in by pivoting out with U-Turn. Urshifu is heavily slowed down by abilities or items that punish it for making contact, most notably Zapdos and Moltres, as it is they are able to switch into one of Urshifu's weaker attacks like U-turn Close Combat or U-turn, proc its Static ability and fully paralyze it and punish it via status conditions mostly just added moltres to this. Ghost types such as Dragapult are also a thorn on Urshifu's side, as it takes barely any damage from its water moves while being completely immune to its figthing type attacks.Corviknight can take a lot of hits from Urshifu, while also draining the already low pp of its moves with Pressure. Dragapult is also a thorn for Urshifu-R, since it resists both STAB moves and can hit back hard with Draco Meteor, or ruin it with Will-O-Wisp. its just dragapult that stops urshifu, not other ghosts since theyre weak to surging strikes. corviknight mention, while true, is too clunky IMO and mentioning magnezone later on isnt worth it since it makes this whole paragraph too long (esp when its only C+) This is why Urshifu appreacites the presence of Pokemon such as Mega Tyranitar, which can safely get rid of Zapdos and Moltres, (AC) and pursuit trap ghost types Dragapult. (AP) and Magnezone, which can trap Corviknight with Magnet Pull and get rid of it.

U-Turn allows Urshifu-R to be a pivot, helping keep momentum throughout the course of a game and also abuse defensive switches like Tangrowth for its teammates to set up on. Aqua Jet allows Urshifu-R to pick off KOs on Pokemon that are low on health but would outspeed Urshifu-R otherwise, like Iron Valiant with Booster Energy or Unburden Hawlucha. Ice Spinner is a great tool in assuring big damage on important targets like Dragonite, Landorus-T Raging Bolt surging does more, Tornadus-T and Dragapult.

Urshifu-R is a great choice on more balance oriented teams as the speed control option, and it loves the company of teammates like Landorus-T, as Lando-T helps Urshifu-R by countering Raging-Bolt handling Electric-types such as Raging Bolt and Tapu Koko, while Urshifu-R helps Lando-T by countering breaking doesnt counter it cuz shifu does not like toxic Gliscor why is this significant for lando (just say glisc walls defensive lando-t). Urshifu-R has the ability to break a lot of the steel types running around, most notably Ferrothorn, so it can pave the way for steel weak Pokemon like Tapu-Lele, while it is able to help Urshifu-R with most dragon types, which Urshifu-R struggles to hit if it is not running Ice Spinner and can also eliminate Iron Valiant spinner part is a bit filler and ival mention is a bit random ngl. Urshifu-R is heavily slowed down by abilities or items that punish it for making contact, most notably Zapdos and Moltres, as they are able to switch into Urshifu-R's Close Combat or U-turn and punish it via status conditions. Dragapult also present itself as a big Urshifu-R deterant, as it can tank both of its stabs and can hit back hard with Draco Meteor or ruin it with Will-O-Wisp. This is why Urshifu-R appreciates the presence of Pokemon like Mega Tyranitar, as it can Pursuit trap Dragapult, as well as safely get rid of Zapdos and Moltres.

Choice Scarf Urshifu-R is a good breaker I don't really like this phrasing since its not really primarily a breaker, nor will it wallbreak vs a lot of builds because Regenerator waters are so common. Rather, talk about its efficacy as a speed control option and late game cleaner. Also mention that is quite fast for a Choice Scarfer. due to being able to threaten defensive Pokemon like Heatran, Gliscor, Great Tusk, Landorus-T and Ferrothorn with its powerful stab moves, while also being able to outspeed the majority of the unboosted metagame, including Mega Lopunny, Mega Medicham, Iron Valiant Dragapult, and Zamazenta. Mention somewhere that Surging Strikes lets you ignore Intimidate from Lando and Idef boosts from Zama. U-Turn allows Urshifu-R to be a pivot, helping keep momentum throughout the course of a game and also abuse defensive switches like Tangrowth Mention Mola and Pex, they are a lot more common for its teammates to set up on. Aqua Jet allows Urshifu-R to pick off KOs on Pokemon that are low on health but would outspeed Urshifu-R otherwise, like Iron Valiant with Booster Energy or Unburden Hawlucha. Ice Spinner is a great tool in assuring big damage on important targets like Dragonite, Landorus-T, Tornadus-T and Dragapult.

Urshifu-R is a great choice on more balance oriented teams as the speed control option, and it loves the company of teammates like Landorus-T, as Lando-T helps Urshifu-R by countering Raging-Bolt, while Urshifu-R helps Lando-T by countering Gliscor. Neither of these are counters since they absolutely can't switch in. Instead, talk about Lando getting hazards up and forming a pivoting core. Mention other teammates who get hazards up and check stuff like Fat Dragons. Urshifu-R has the ability to break a lot of the steel types running around, most notably Ferrothorn, so it can pave the way for steel weak Pokemon like Tapu-Lele, while it is able to help Urshifu-R with most dragon types, which Urshifu-R struggles to hit if it is not running Ice Spinner and can also eliminate Iron Valiant. Lele is kind of a shakey mention in terms of getting rid of Ival. What other things could help with this matchup? Expand on this. Urshifu-R is heavily slowed down by abilities or items that punish it for making contact, most notably Zapdos and Moltres, as they are able to switch into Urshifu-R's Close Combat or U-turn and punish it via status conditions. Dragapult also present itself as a big Urshifu-R deterant, as it can tank both of its stabs and can hit back hard with Draco Meteor or ruin it with Will-O-Wisp. This is why Urshifu-R appreciates the presence of Pokemon like Mega Tyranitar, as it can Pursuit trap Dragapult, as well as safely get rid of Zapdos and Moltres.

Mention somewhere teammates that can take advantage of fat waters like Mola and Pex. Could be electrics like Raging Bolt and Koko or powerful special psychics like Mega Latis and Lele.

Choice Scarf Urshifu-R is a good breaker wallbreaker due to being able its ability to threaten defensive Pokemon like Heatran, Gliscor, Great Tusk, Landorus-T, (AC) and Ferrothorn with its powerful stab STAB moves (RC) while also being able to outspeed the majority of the unboosted metagame, including Mega Lopunny, Mega Medicham, and Iron Valiant. U-turn allows Urshifu-R to be a pivot, helping to keep momentum throughout the course of a game and also abuse take advantage of defensive switches switch-ins like Tangrowth for its teammates to set up on. Aqua Jet allows Urshifu-R to pick off up KOs on Pokemon that are low on health but would outspeed Urshifu-R otherwise, like Iron Valiant with Speed Booster Energy or Iron Valiant and Unburden Hawlucha. Ice Spinner is a great tool in assuring big damage on important targets like Dragonite (RC) Landorus-T, Tornadus-T (Surging Strikes does more to both targets) and Dragapult.

Choice Scarf Urshifu-R is a good wall breaker due to its ability to threaten defensive Pokemon like Heatran, Gliscor, Great Tusk, Landorus-T, and Ferrothorn with its powerful STAB moves while also being able to outspeed the majority of the unboosted metagame, including Mega Lopunny, Mega Medicham, and Iron Valiant. U-Turn allows Urshifu-R to be a pivot, helping to keep momentum throughout the course of a game and take advantage of defensive switch-ins like Tangrowth for its teammates to set up on. Aqua Jet allows Urshifu-R to pick up KOs on Pokemon that are low on health but would outspeed Urshifu-R otherwise, like Speed Booster Energy Iron Valiant and Unburden Hawlucha.

Hi Dahness
ND QC have told me that the updated version of your analysis with the QC checks implemented wasn't in the OP but was instead only in post 10. This means that we haven't GPed the corrected version of the analysis. I'm now GP checking what's in post 10 to get teh QC-checked version of the analysis finished.

When you implement this, replace what's in the OP with the updated version.

When you do C&C work, always always edit the OP with your changes every time - people don't always check the replies, so they won't know what the updated version is. You then don't need to reply with any extra versions, you can just say implemented and it will mean you updated it in the OP.

Would be happy to look over this again when implemented too

implemented into the op, sorrry for all the confusion, this was my first analysis
 
this is done now, so once you implement this, change the copyediting tag to the done tag so mods know to upload it

I removed a lot of double spaces in here without comment so use the video method again and it will catch them. When implementing a checlk, once you're done removing the red text and the comments, read back through the analysis to make sure there's only one space between each word
