Urshifu-Rapid-Strike @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Unseen Fist
Level: 50
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 20 HP / 236 Atk / 4 Def / 244 SpD / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Surging Strikes
- Close Combat
- Aqua Jet
- Protect
A high Attack, excellent offensive typing, an unparalleled ability and move combination in Unseen Fist and Surging Strikes make Urshifu-R stand out as one of the best attackers in VGC Regulation D, becoming a metagame staple heading into World Championships. Few Pokemon are able to resist both Surging Strikes and Close Combat, making them a potent offensive combination, and Amoonguss, one of the few Pokemon that resists such moves, has Rage Powder and Spore completely ignored by Safety Goggles. Urshifu-R can Tera Water to lose its weaknesses to Fairy and Flying, improving its matchups against Flutter Mane and Tornadus while OHKOing them with a boosted Surging Strikes. The given EV spread allows it to survive Tera Normal Dragonite's Extreme Speed in Sword of Ruin and Leaf Storm from Amoonguss. Urshifu-R can pair with Rillaboom and Heatran to form a bulky Fire-Water-Grass offense core and also works well with Pokemon like Tornadus and Icy Wind Flutter Mane that offer speed control to make up for its middling Speed. Chien-Pao can also support it well by hitting Grass- and Flying-types, increasing Urshifu-R's damage with Sword of Ruin, and forming a priority spamming core with Sucker Punch and Aqua Jet.
