[SET COMMENTS]
Thanks to its great Attack, amazing Speed, and versatile movepool with powerful STAB moves, Urshifu-R distinguishes itself as a fantastic wallbreaker and offensive pivot. Ice Spinner hits foes that resist Urshifu-R's STAB attacks, such as Eternatus and Dragonite. Alternatively, Zen Headbutt can be used for better outs against Toxapex while still hitting Eternatus. U-turn allows Urshifu-R to switch out of bad matchups such as Arceus-Water and generate momentum. Metagrossite ensures that Urshifu-R can act as a fast pivot, outpacing foes like Eternatus, Scizorite Weavile, Lucarionite Walking Wake. Alternatively, Aerodactylite or Blue Orb can be used if another teammate like Galarian Zapdos is using Metagrossite to enhance Urshifu-R's wallbreaking potential, with Aerodactylite sets always 2HKOing defensive Eternatus with Ice Spinner and Blue Orb sets 2HKOing Arceus-Fairy with Surging Strikes, albeit at the cost of being outsped by the aforementioned Pokemon. Urshifu-R fits well with other offensive pivots, such as Raikou and Walking Wake, pressuring structures involving Pokemon like Eternatus and bulky Water-types like Arceus-Water and Toxapex. Setup sweepers like Raging Bolt, Gouging Fire, and Lunala also appreciate Urshifu-R's ability to safely pivot them in. Urshifu-R is vulnerable to -ate Speed users, such as Altarianite Regieleki, Hisuian Arcanine, and Dragonite, so teammates that help in dealing with them such as Arceus-Ground, Galarian Slowking, and Solgaleo are appreciated. Urshifu-R also has difficulty in dealing with bulky Arceus formes, especially Arceus-Fairy and Arceus-Water, so Pokemon that beat them such as Eternatus and the aforementioned Raging Bolt make great partners.

Thanks to its great Attack, Speed, and versatile movepool with powerful STAB moves, Urshifu-R distinguishes itself as a fantastic wallbreaker and offensive pivot in the tier. Metagrossite ensures that Urshifu-R acts as a fast pivot, outpacing foes like Scizorite Weavile, Lucarionite Walking Wake, and Eternatus Eternatus, Scizorite Weavile, and Lucarionite Walking Wake. Alternatively, Aerodactylite or Blue Orb can be used to enhance Urshifu-R's wallbreaking potential Any notable KOes it reaches? could also mention that these are mostly used due to let other teammates use Metagrossite, albeit at the cost of being outsped by the aforementioned Pokemon. Also move this section to be placed after the move descriptions to reflect the Mini analysis outline Ice Spinner is an excellent coverage move, hitting foes that resist Urshifu-R's STAB attacks, such as Eternatus and Dragonite. Alternatively, Zen Headbutt can be used for better outs against Toxapex while also still hitting Eternatus. U-turn functions as an excellent pivoting move, allowing Urshifu-R to switch out of bad matchups such as Arceus-Water and generate momentum. Urshifu-R fits well with other offensive pivots, such as Raikou and Walking Wake, pressuring structures involving Pokemon like Eternatus and bulky Water-types like Arceus-Water and Toxapex. Setup sweepers like Raging Bolt, Gouging Fire, and Lunala also appreciate Urshifu-R's ability to safely pivot them in. Urshifu is vulnerable to -ate Speed users, such as Altarianite Regieleki, Hisuian Arcanine, and Dragonite, so teammates that help in dealing with them such as Arceus-Ground. Solgaleo, and Galarian Slowking are appreciated. Urshifu also has difficulty in dealing with bulky Arceus formes, especially Arceus-Fairy and Arceus-Water, so Pokemon that beat them such as Eternatus and the aforementioned Raging Bolt make great partners.
