Urshifu-R's decent Speed tier, powerful STAB combination, and Choice Band allow it to break past common bulky Pokemon like Landorus-T, Galarian Slowking, and Ferrothorn. U-turn allows Urshifu-R to maintain momentum against Pokemon that it would usually struggle to deal meaningful damage against such as Slowbro and Mega Latias. Aqua Jet allows Urshifu-R to revenge kill faster Pokemon such as chipped Mega Diancie and Volcarona. Thunder Punch can deal considerable damage to the likes of Toxapex and Slowbro. Urshifu-R makes use of Tera Water to deal massive damage with Surging Strikes and force its typical checks like Iron Defense Zamazenta and Galarian Slowking to switch out. It appreciates teammates like Galarian Slowking due to its ability to set Future Sight to break past Toxapex and Alomomola and Mega Scizor, which can also cover Urshifu-R's bad matchup against Iron Valiant and Tapu Lele. Both Galarian Slowking and Mega Scizor are able to pivot, bringing Urshifu-R in safely against Pokemon such as Heatran and Mega Tyranitar. Water-types such as Slowbro, Alomomola, and Toxapex are roadblocks for Urshifu-R, so partners that threaten them like Tapu Koko and Raging Bolt are appreciated to threaten them. Tapu Koko can also boost the damage of Urshifu-R's Thunder Punch with Electric Terrain. Zapdos is able to hinder Urshifu-R with Static, making Mega Diancie, Kyurem, and Iron Valiant valuable options for teammates with their shared ability to threaten Zapdos. Urshifu-R is also threatened by faster offensive Pokemon such as Iron Valiant, Tapu Koko, and Choice Scarf Tapu Lele, which makes bulkier Pokemon such as Ferrothorn, Galarian Slowking, and Gliscor excellent partners.
