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, and Kingambit. 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. 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 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.
