[SET COMMENTS]
With a Choice Band Urshifu-R becomes a devastating breaker for Water teams easily able to blow past threats without much problem. Close Combat shreds the likes of Archaludon, Kyurem, and Hisuian Samurott. Surging Strikes easily washes away foes such as Ceruledge, Gliscor, and Gallade along with 2HKOing Iron Hands which is otherwise a huge pain for Water to handle. Ice Spinner nails Grass- and Dragon-types whom attempt to come in on Urshifu-R's STABs like Amoonguss, Sinistcha, and Dragonite. Finally Aqua Jet can clean up against faster threats like Flutter Mane and Volcarona. Jolly is the recommended nature thanks to outspeeding the likes of Terapagos and Kyurem while Adamant reliably OHKOs threats such as Ting-Lu and Archaludon.
Urshifu-R greatly appreciates Swampert thanks to it being able to pivot Urshifu-R in safely with Flip Turn, providing Stealth Rock support to chip would be checks like Meowscarada and Dragapult, and using Knock Off to remove Skarmory's Rocky Helmet alongside checking Electric-types such as Raging Bolt and Sandy Shocks. Toxapex can assist Urshifu-R by taking on Fairy and Grass-types like Enamorus and Meowscarada on top of with providing Toxic to wear down bulkier targets like Araquanid and non-Substitute Sinistcha. Nasty Plot Rotom-W can help against Flying- and Water-types that threaten Urshifu-R such as Tornadus-T, Pelipper, and Primarina. Alternatively Rotom-W can pivot Urshifu-R in with Volt Switch. Choice Scarf Greninja provides vital speed control enabling it to check fast Psychic- and Ghost-types such as the Lati twins and non-Choice Scarf Spectrier with Dark Pulse alongside using coverage such as Sludge Wave to deal with the Ogerpon formes and Enamorus. Swords Dance Hisuian Samurott provides Spikes support with Ceaseless Edge to wear down foes like Raging Bolt along with being able to check threats such as Flutter Mane with Sucker Punch. Calm Mind Primarina can check faster Dragon and Fighting-types such as Roaring Moon, Dragapult, and opposing Urshifu-R while greatly appreciating Urshifu-R handling Steel-types such as Empoleon and Hisuian Goodra that Primarina cannot handle.
