Paragraph 1:
With Bulk Up, a Black Glasses attached, great offensive typing, and a high attack stat, Urshifu-S is a great sweeper. Black Glasses boost to dark stab gives its Dark-type moves an extra boost without the recoil effect of Life Orb increasing its longevity. Bulk Up is its sweeping move due to its boosting of Attack and Defense causing it to lose physical counterplay from Pokemon such as Mega Scizor and Urshifu-R, and break the defensive core of Blissey, Porygon2, and Staraptor. Wicked Blow is an auto critical hit that pressures Psychic- and Ghost-types such as Slowbro, Jirachi, Aegislash, and Galarian Corsola. Close Combat is a great Fighting move being able to pressure Steel- and opposing Dark-types such as Ferrothorn, Heatran, Tyranitar, and Alolan Muk. Sucker Punch is a great priority to stop revenge killing attempts from pokemon such as Latios, and Alakazam. 252 Attack EVs is to make Urshifu-S as strong as possible while 252 Speed EVs with a Jolly nature allows it to outpace Pokemon such as Mimikyu, Indeedee, and Tapu Lele.
Paragraph 2:
All of Urshifu’s teammates appreciate the removal of Psychic-types and sweeping potential. Mega Gallade helps with the removal of Poison-types such as Mega Venusaur, Toxapex, and Galarian Weezing due to its Psychic-typing and access to Swords Dance. Keldeo is a great special wallbreaker to Pokemon that pressures Pokemon that can be counters to Urshifu-S such as Mega-Scizor, and Skarmory. Kommo-o is able to take advantage of pokemon such as Toxapex and Hippowdon thanks to the combination of Taunt and its signature Clangorous Soulblaze.

Paragraph 1:
With a Choice Band attached, great offensive typing, and Wicked Blow, Urshifu-S is a great wallbreaker on Fighting teams. Wicked Blow is an auto-crit move that increases its damage output to ensure OHKO’s on Pokemon such as Aegislash, and Slowbro. Close Combat is a great Fighting-type move due to its high power being able to hit Dark and Nor. Poison Jab is a great coverage move for hitting Fairy-types such as Tapu Bulu and Tapu-Fini. U-turn is a great move to keep up momentum and to bring in teammates such as Keldeo and Mega Gallade. And 252 ev’s in attack are to hit as hard as possible, and 252 speed is to outspeed pokemon such as Tapu Lele, and Exadrill.
Paragraph 2:
All of Urshifu’s teammates appreciate the removal of Psychic type and its wallbreaking potential.Mega Gallade is able to setup on Poison-types such as Mega-Gallade and Alolan-Muk opening up Urshifu-S to wallbreak more easier. Keldeo makes an offensive core being able to pressure counters to Urshifu-S such as Celesteela, and Buzzwole. Terrakion with a Choice Scarf is able to pressure Pokemon such as Mega-Charizard-Y and Volcorona while acting as a revenge killer to Pokemon such as Mega Diancie and Quiver Dance. Cobalion is able to pressure Fairy types such as Tapu Lele, and Mega Altaira. And Breloom is able to sleep Pokemon such as Pelliper and Corvnight out of commission thanks to Spore, and revenge kills Pokemon such as Hydreigon and Greninja with Mach Punch. And Kommo-o can take advantage of defensive Pokemon such as Toxapex and Galarian Corsola thanks to the combination of Taunt and its signature Z-move.
[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
Choice Scarf can be used to outspeed Pokemon such as Greninja and Mega-Charizard-Y. And Opposing Choice Scarfers such as Tapu Lele and Krookidile. But it fails to claim OHKO’s on Pokemon such as Slowbro and Galarian Corsola which can then pressure Urshifu-S with burns.
Iron Head can be used on the Band set so it can pressure Mega Diancie and Alolan Ninetails who are 4x weak to the move. But this is usually impractical due to them always carrying Moonblast and them being Able to outspeed and OHKO it.
Checks and Counters
===================
Type
--------
**Fairy Types**: Fairy types resist both of Urshifu's STAB combination and hitting Urshifu-S with there attacks that Urshifu-S is 4x weak to. Kleflki and Mimikyu can come into Urshifu's Coverage in Poison Jab and either cripple it in the former case and OHKO it in the latter giving Urshifu-S counters. Tapu Koko and Mega Diancie can come in and have the extra benifit of Being faster therefore acting as a check able to finish it.
**Status**: Urshifu doesn’t appreciate any type of status. Burns cripple it by neutering its offensive presence, Thunder Wave makes it so that it gets outspeed by Pokemon such as Clefable and Tapu Lele which will then easily OHKO it with Moonblast, and Toxic puts Urshifu on an timer causing it to be worn down.
**Fighting Types**:Fighting types resist its main stab move in Wicked Blow and have super-effective stab against it.. Pokemon such as Buzzwole and Galarian-Zapdos can switch into it and act as counters to both sets. Keldeo, Terrakion, and Mega Gallade while sometimes having trouble switching in can come in and easily OHKO Urshifu-S with their Fighting type attacks.
**Flying** Flying types resist Close Combat and can come in easily and hit it for super-effective damage. Pokemon such as Landorus-T and Celesteela even though usually not carrying Flying-type moves can act as counters due to either Landorus-T's Intimidate and Celesteela's great bulk especially on the LeechSlam tank set. Tornadus-T and Mega Charizard while having the inability to switch into Wicked Blow easily OHKO it with their Flying-type attacks.
**Revenge Killers**: Choice Scarf Users such as Buzzwole and Tapu Lele easily OHKO Urshifu with their attacks. Also Pokemon such as Regieleki and Tapu Koko easily kill it without a Choice Scarf due to them naturally outspeeding Urshifu and hitting it on its weaker special side.
