Urshifu-S is a powerful, although somewhat niche, wallbreaker, thanks to its great offensive typing paired with its impressive Attack and decent Speed. Wicked Blow's guaranteed critical hit allows Urshifu-S to muscle through the likes of Cosmic Power Arceus formes, Curse Dondozo, and Iron Defense Skarmory, as well as hit through Landorus-T's Intimidate. Sucker Punch gives Urshifu-S a valuable priority move, allowing it to revenge kill faster threats like Choice Scarf Landorus-T, Deoxys, and Mewtwo. U-turn provides momentum on the switches Urshifu-S forces against Pokemon like Blissey, Dialga, and Choice-locked Chien-Pao, although Iron Head can be used alternatively to target Fairy-types like Zacian and Clefable, which otherwise wall Urshifu-S. Tera Dark gives Urshifu-S a boost to its STAB Wicked Blow and Sucker Punch, allowing it to OHKO Arceus formes after Stealth Rock and 2HKO specially defensive Magearna, although Tera Steel can be used instead to provide a useful defensive typing and boost Iron Head's damage, granting favorable damage rolls like OHKOing Clefable. Urshifu-S fits best on teams looking for a powerful wallbreaker with a decent matchup into stall as well. Urshifu-S struggles heavily against Fairy-types like Magearna, Zacian, Clefable, and Terastallized Giratina, so Pokemon that can take these threats on, like Arceus-Poison and a partner Magearna, are helpful to have. Pokemon like Magearna and Palafin can create a great pivot core with Urshifu-S. Urshifu-S is commonly revenge killed by faster offensive threats like Zacian, Mewtwo, Chien-Pao, and Zamazenta-C, so paralysis from Magearna and Giratina or Sticky Web support from Galvantula can be helpful to have.
