[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Band Urshifu-S is a decent threat due to its potent STAB combination hitting almost everything in the tier for at least neutral damage. It's also very hard to scout, as Unseen Fist lets it hit Pokemon using Protect. Wicked Blow is incredibly threatening, as it allows Urshifu to bypass Defense boosts. Close Combat hits Dark-resistant foes like Yveltal, Zacian-C on the switch, and Tyranitar. U-turn lets Urshifu-S keep up the momentum, and Sucker Punch lets Urshifu-S revenge kill faster Pokemon like Calyrex-S, Marshadow, and Eternatus. Jolly is the preferred nature, as it lets Urshifu-S outspeed common Pokemon like Kyogre, Groudon, Kyurem-W, and neutral-natured Yveltal; however, if more power is desired. Urshifu-S can run an Adamant nature, but this leaves it outsped by a lot of key targets.


Due to Urshifu-S's overbearing weakness to Fairy-types like Xerneas and Zacian-C, Pokemon such as Necrozma-DM, Ho-Oh, and Zacian-C that can deal with these Fairy-types both defensively and offensively make for good teammates. Urshifu-S can struggle to break through defensive Zygarde-C due to its gigantic bulk, so it should be paired up with Pokemon to deal with it such as Ferrothorn, Kyurem-W, Lunala, and Yveltal. As Urshifu-S has trouble switching in, pivots such as U-turn Yveltal, Blissey, and Landorus-T that can safely bring it in are incredibly potent teammates. The former makes an excellent pair with Urshifu-S as a primary counter to Calyrex-S. Other physical attackers like Marshadow, Zacian-C, Groudon, Zygarde, and Zekrom appreciate having Urshifu-S around to break the opposing team's physically defensive Pokemon. Ho-Oh is a big threat to Urshifu, as it is able to scout its attacks without getting punished, which is a big deal in longer games due to its limited PP.

Other Options
=============
Iron Head is a solid coverage option over Sucker Punch to prevent Xerneas from switching in freely; however, dropping Sucker Punch makes Urshifu-S much more vulnerable to threats like Calyrex-S and Marshadow.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Fairy-types**: Fairy-types like Xerneas and Zacian resist both of Urshifu-S's STAB moves, meaning that they can switch in freely, barring the rare Iron Head. Xerneas deserves a special mention, as it can freely set up Geomancy on Urshifu and threaten to sweep the entire team afterwards.

**Ho-Oh**: Ho-Oh is able to scout Urshifu-S, enabling the opponent to then choose the appropriate switch-in, preventing Urshifu from making any progress.

**Faster Pokemon**: Due to Urshifu-S's unimpressive Speed stat, it is easily revenge killed by faster Pokemon like Zacian-C, Marshadow, and Eternatus.

Urshifu is a strong but overlooked threat as its STAB combination of Wicked Blow and Close Combat hit mostly everything in the tier for atleast neutral damage, its a powerful wallbreaker when given the Choice Band, and has solid defensive utility in its ability to switch into non Draining Kiss Calyrex-S variants. Even non specs caly-s 2hko's with barrage always, and specs is doing upwards of 90 so I wouldn't really say it can switch in, moreso that it's just an offensive check to caly that can take hits in a pinch which is probably a bit better wording. U-turn is a good coverage move pivoting option as it lets you keep up momentum and Sucker Punch is a strong priority move. (u-turn doesn't really give any coverage wicked blow doesn't so just "pivoting option" is good imo)


Due to its overbearing weakness to Fairy-types like Xerneas and Zacian, Pokemon who can deal with these Fairies both defensively and offensively make for good teammates, as such Necrozma-DM, Ho-oh, and Zacian-C are stellar to pair up with Urshifu, Zacian-C is espically noteworthy as Urshifu can break physical walls for it to enable lategame cleaning. This section is just 1 sentence, I'd elaborate a bit more on things that appreciate its priority and breaking power and ability to revenge caly as well as add a mention of para spammers like ndm and zygarde, since slowing down etern fast yvel and zacian can let it just win sometimes

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
Iron Head is a solid coverage option over Sucker Punch, but having no priority isnt the greatest and most of the time you arent clicking Iron Head eitherway. A Jolly nature is also an option as it lets you hit a good speedtier above the base 90s and 95s, but the higher damage output Adamant provides is usually better

Checks and Counters
===================

**Fairy-types** Xerneas Resists both of Urshifus STAB-types and can use it as setup fodder for Geomancy or threaten it out with Moonblast, Other Fairies Like Zacian, and Magearna and Clefable also heavily limit Urshifus effectiveness as a wallbreaker (Clefable's UR so I don't think it needs a mention with the other mons who are more important)

**Faster Pokemon**: Due to Urshifu being choice-locked, Its very prone to being revenge killed by faster pokemon like Zacian-C, Marshadow, Eternatus, and Life Orb Yveltal

hi sorry this analysis really isn't qc ready :c it lacks a lot of depth on its explanations. For instance, you really need to explain what each move does, in enough detail that they each get a sentence. One sentence for the first set comments paragraph just won't cut it.
QC reject 1/2 please put this back into wip and flesh it out a lot more.

The same goes for sheer cold Kyogre, so please get it back into WIP too.

Urshifu is a decent threat as its STAB combination of Wicked Blow and Close Combat hit almost everything in the tier for at least neutral damage, while becoming a powerful wallbreaker with Choice Band, its a powerful wallbreaker when given the Choice Band to boost its already high base Attack even higher, and has solid defensive utility in its ability to switch into non Draining Kiss Calyrex-S variants [urshifu is never switching into calyrex-s, it takes 70-90 from specs astral barrage]. Wicked Blow is the preferred Dark-type stab as it always landing a critical hit makes it incredibly threatening and allows it to bypass defense boosts. Close Combat is the chosen fighting STAB due to how hard it hits and being super effective vs a lot of Dark resists hits Dark-resistant foes like Yveltal, Zacian-C on the switch, and Magearna [magearna is barely viable, replace it with a different example like tyranitar]. U-turn is a good pivoting move as it lets you Urshifu-S keep up momentum, meanwhile Sucker Punch is a strong STAB boosted priority move that lets Urshifu is needed to let Urshifu-S hit faster pokemon like Calyrex-S, Marshadow, and Etarnatus Eternatus. [add a mention about jolly obviously, then add that adamant can be used instead] [add a mention somewhere about unseen fist and how it makes urshifu-s extremely hard to scout]


Due to its overbearing weakness to Fairy-types like Xerneas and Zacian, Pokemon who can deal with these Fairies Fairy-types both defensively and offensively make for good teammates, as such Necrozma-DM, Ho-oh, and Zacian-C are stellar to pair up with Urshifu.

- add yveltal as a teammate, since it checks calyrex-s far more reliably
- kyogre checks should be mentioned as well, since urshifu-s is outsped by timid specs / scarf ogre and it takes a ton from scald if it's calm mind
- there should also be a mention of zyg-c checks imo, it can wall urshifu-s with the right conditions]

While this looks a bit better after the QC reject, there is still a lot of changes that I would like to see implemented before stamping. In the future, read the Spelling & Grammar Standards, and try to expand more on information.

Also, it's "Urshifu-S", not "Urshifu". Please fix all of those mentions.

Urshifu-S is a decent threat as its STAB combination of Wicked Blow and Close Combat hit almost everything in the tier for at least neutral damage, while becoming a powerful wallbreaker with Choice Band.

Urshifu-S is also weak to can struggle to break through common physical walls such as Defensive Zygarde-C due to its gigantic bulk and Kyogre (defensive ogre isn't a great answer to urshifu tbh, it gets 2hkoed by wicked blow or cc on the swich), and should as such be paired up with Pokemon to deal with these it such as Ferrothorn, Kyurem-W, Lunala, and Yveltal.

(this sentence was way too long, and the sentence about yveltal bringing in urshifu safely isn't necessary since that's already said in the previous sentence) Other physical attackers like Marshadow, Zacian, Groudon, Zygarde, and Zekrom appreciate having Urshifu-S around to break the opposing teams physically defensive Pokemon.

**Defensive Zygarde-C**: (mention that defensive zyg-c is a solid answer to urshifu-s as it takes 30 from wicked blow and cc and can paralyze it with glare. however, mention that regular zygarde isn't a reliable answer as it's 2HKOed by both of urshifu's stab moves)
