Thanks to its impressive stats and splendid movepool, Urshifu-R is one of the best physical attackers of the metagame, capable of fulfilling both wallbreaking and sweeping roles; its access to Swords Dance alongside two solid Mega Stone options grants it flexibility to adjust its set to best fit the team's needs. Close Combat hits foes like Arceus, Arceus-Water, and Kingambit. Ice Spinner hits Dragon-types like Dragonite and Eternatus. U-turn makes Urshifu-R an excellent pivot and helps it escape bad matchups such as Pecharunt and Arceus-Fairy. Swords Dance can be considered over Close Combat or U-turn to turn it into a dangerous cleaner and potentially even break past physical walls like Pecharunt and Eternatus, though it has its drawbacks. Dropping Close Combat makes it weak to Arceus-Water, whereas dropping U-turn means that it can no longer generate momentum for the team. Metagrossite should be used with a Jolly nature to allow Urshifu-R to outspeed foes such as fast variants of Eternatus and Arceus formes, while Aerodactylite with an Adamant nature is a slower but more powerful alternative, achieving feats like 2HKOing Arceus-Fairy with minor chip damage. Urshifu-R synergizes extremely well with offensive staples such as Ceruledge, Raging Bolt, and Kingambit; Raging Bolt, in particular, is a standout partner, forming a formidable VoltTurn wallbreaker duo with it. Entry hazard setters such as Magearna, Hearthflame Mask Great Tusk, and Garganacl are amazing partners, aiding Urshifu-R in maintaining crushing offensive pressure against the opposing team. Urshifu-R also appreciates entry hazard removers such as Regieleki, non-Hearthflame Mask Great Tusk, and Corviknight as teammates, as they help it maximize its impact by removing hazards and keeping it healthy throughout the game.

Thanks to its impressive stats and splendid movepool, Urshifu-R is one of the best physical wallbreakers of the metagame. Close Combat hits foes like Arceus, Arceus-Water PLEASE use a different mon here somewhere, and Baxcalibur Kingambit more common + bax has so many issues rn, esp into lati mage and pecha. U-turn makes Urshifu-R an excellent pivot and helps it escape bad matchups such as Pecharunt and Arceus-Water and 2HKOes after Stealth Rock w/ CC, genuinely serious, + its not even a bad mu -Fairy. Swords Dance can be considered over Close Combat or U-turn to turn it into a dangerous cleaner and potentially even break past physical walls like Pecharunt. moved, placement is super weird here Ice Spinner hits Dragon-types like Dragonite and Eternatus. Swords Dance can be considered over Close Combat or U-turn to turn it into a dangerous cleaner and potentially even break past physical walls like Pecharunt. Metagrossite can should be used with a Jolly nature to allow Urshifu-R to outspeed foes such as fast variants of Eternatus and Arceus formes, while Aerodactylite with an Adamant nature is a slower but more powerful alternative give notable calcs (e.g. fairyceus 2hko). Urshifu-R synergizes extremely well with offensive staples such as Ceruledge, Raging Bolt, and Kingambit; Raging Bolt, in particular, is a standout partner, forming a formidable VoltTurn wallbreaker duo with it. Entry hazard setters such as Magearna, Hearthflame Mask Great Tusk, and Garganacl are amazing partners, aiding Urshifu-R in maintaining crushing offensive pressure against the opposing team. It also appreciates Rapid Spin users such as Regieleki and non-Hearthflame Mask Great Tusk as teammates imo just change this to entry hazard removers and include defog corv, as they help Urshifu-R gp thing but pls switch it and ursh-r around at the start its bugging me maximize its impact by removing entry hazards and keeping it healthy throughout the game.

Thanks to its impressive stats and splendid movepool, Urshifu-R is one of the best physical wallbreakers of the metagame. I feel like rewording this to make it more obvious that Urshifu has a solid chassis for physical sweeping OR wallbreaking and is proven by access to a setup move or 2 very solid stone choices. Atm the line kinda just feels generic and not "MnM-specific" so adding in that it has that versatility in not only a choice of stone, but moves can get that point across better I think. Close Combat hits foes like Arceus, Arceus-Water, and Kingambit. If we aren't mentioning Surging Strikes, I assume due to it being "obvious STAB", then Close Combat mention needs to be striked from the record as well. U-turn makes Urshifu-R an excellent pivot and helps it escape bad matchups such as Pecharunt and Arceus-Fairy. Ice Spinner hits Dragon-types like Dragonite and Eternatus. Swap the order of these previous 2 sentences to flow better with the actual list of moves in the set. Swords Dance can be considered over Close Combat or U-turn to turn it into a dangerous cleaner and potentially even break past physical walls like Pecharunt. I feel like mentioning other physical walls such as Ghostceus, Waterceus, and Eternatus will help drive the point home. I also think you should give a mention to what opportunity cost you have with running SD. First, SD > CC leaves Urshifu in a harder position to break through those aforementioned threats in the CC line I removed (and personally I believe it shouldn't be slashed with CC at all but I won't fight that battle) while SD > U-turn means that Urshifu has a harder time giving its team momentum and therefore the upper hand ;). Metagrossite should be used with a Jolly nature to allow Urshifu-R to outspeed foes such as fast variants of Eternatus and Arceus formes, while Aerodactylite with an Adamant nature is a slower but more powerful alternative, achieving feats like 2HKOing Arceus-Fairy with minor chip damage. Urshifu-R synergizes extremely well with offensive staples such as Ceruledge, Raging Bolt, and Kingambit; Raging Bolt, in particular, is a standout partner, forming a formidable VoltTurn wallbreaker duo with it.
