Urshifu-S is used as a generally strong attacker, its Wicked Blow's deal massive damage to much of the metagame with Unseen Fist and ignores Attack drops minimizing counterplay. Its a versatile pick on many compositions, as its kit does not need much support and is mainly used to enhance a teams offensive pressure with strong attacks. With Tera Dark, Urshifu-S is capable of OHKOing Pokemon such as both Calyrex formes and Flutter Mane as well as bringing most other targets to red health, such as Miraidon and Tornadus. Focus Sash helps Urshifu-S remedy its poor defensive typing, while Sucker Punch is able to somewhat bypass Urshifu-S's middling Speed tier.
Urshifu-S functions well on many teams, however those with strong Speed control are where Urshifu-S shines, particularly Trick Room compositions with Calyrex-I which appreciate the immediate pressure as well as Trick Room letting Urshifu-S outspeed threats such as Flutter Mane and Zamazenta-C. Additionally, Unseen Fist ignoring Protect means stalling Trick Room with it is much more risky. Speaking of which, Urshifu-S struggles against Pokemon which resist Wicked Blow, as they nullify Urshifu-S's main benefit in dealing big damage with Wicked Blow. While Close Combat is strong, its vulnerable to opposing Intimidates as well as dropping its defenses. Additionally, many of these threats also outspeed and hit for Super Effective, such as the aforementioned Zamazenta and opposing Urshifu-R. However, Pokemon like Amoonguss and Incineroar are able to somewhat make up for these weaknesses. Amoonguss provides redirection and resists Fairy and Fighting while threatening foes with Spore, while Incineroar offers general utility and Fake Out, which opponents can't Protect into at risk of a attack from Urshifu-S. Tera-Fairy is also a popular Tera-type (Such as on Raging Bolt and Calrex-S), which Urshifu-S struggles to break through on account of resisting both of its STABs.
