Urshifu @ Black Glasses
Ability: Unseen Fist
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Bulk Up
- Wicked Blow
- Close Combat
- Sucker Punch

Urshifu-S is one of the most threatening setup sweepers and wallbreakers due to its high Attack, decent Speed, and signature move, Wicked Blow. Bulk Up combined with Wicked Blow's ability to always result in a critical hit allows Urshifu-S to pose a threat to sturdy, defensive Pokemon such as Toxapex, Skarmory, Corviknight, and Hippowdon. Close Combat allows Urshifu-S to deal with Ferrothorn and defensive Duraludon while also forming near-perfect coverage with its Dark-type STAB move, allowing it to hit a multitude of Pokemon for at least neutral damage. Sucker Punch supports Urshifu-S's middling Speed by allowing it to pick off faster Pokemon such as Dragapult and Alolan Raichu. Urshifu-S can try to set up Bulk Up against passive Pokemon like Ferrothorn and Hippowdon. Bisharp can deal with Fairy-types that resist Urshifu-S's STAB moves like Clefable and Galarian Weezing, and Choice Scarf Hydreigon can revenge kill fast threats like Keldeo and use U-turn to help Urshifu-S find setup opportunities.

Urshifu is one of the most threatening setup sweeper and wallbreaker due to its high Attack stat, decent Speed and signature move in Wicked Blow. Bulk Up allows Urshifu to further increase its Attack stat and pose a threat to sturdy defensive Pokemon such as Toxapex, Skarmory, Corviknight, and Hippowdon with Wicked Blow which always results in a critical hit, would write something about black glasses making it hard for such defensive Pokemon to check it. Close Combat allows Urshifu to deal with Ferrothorn and defensive Duraludon. Would capitalize on Fighting STAB and how it rounds out its coverage more The issue of its middling Speed is somewhat mitigated by Sucker Punch as it lets it beat faster Pokemon such as Dragapult and Alolan Raichu which can check it otherwise. Urshifu can try to setup Bulk Up against passive Pokemon like Ferrothorn and Hippowdon. Bisharp can deal with Fairy-types like Clefable, Hatterene and Galarian Weezing while Grimmsnarl can provide Urshifu with dual screen and Thunder Wave support allowing it to setup easily and improve its mediocre Speed respectively. Tyranitar is also a good teammate due to its Stealth Rock and Thunder Wave support. Choice Scarf Hydreigon for speed control makes better for a spotlight, you can talk about U-turn Mandibuzz too with it since the momentum they provide is notable. Tyranitar's Stealth Rock shouldn't be listed if it doesn't specifically help with anything, and Thunder Wave support is covered by Grimmsnarl already.

optional but could say something about unseen fist and breaking protection, altho its more prominent in cb sets where it would have a hard time breaking otherwise

Accidentally bypassed the word limit with my QC check, sorry about that. Discussed with Harpp in pms and tried to cut down on some info to make it under the 1k word limit:
Urshifu is one of the most threatening setup sweeper and wallbreaker due to its high Attack stat, decent Speed and signature move in Wicked Blow. Bulk Up combined with Wicked Blow's ability to always result in a critical hit allows Urshifu to pose a threat to sturdy defensive Pokemon such as Toxapex, Skarmory, Corviknight, and Hippowdon. Close Combat allows Urshifu to deal with Ferrothorn and defensive Duraludon while also forming a near perfect coverage with its Dark-type STAB move, allowing it to hit multitude of Pokemon for at least neutral damage. Sucker Punch supports Urshifu's middling Speed by allowing it to pick off faster Pokemon such as Dragapult and Alolan Raichu. Urshifu can try to setup Bulk Up against passive Pokemon like Ferrothorn and Hippowdon. Bisharp can deal with Fairy-types like Clefable and Galarian Weezing that resist Urshifu's STABs while Choice Scarf Hydreigon can revenge kill fast threats like Keldeo and use U-turn to help Urshifu find setup opportunities.
Ended up cutting out the bits for Black Glasses & we agreed to thin it down to just Bisharp and Hydreigon for team options, fit in Fairy-type Pokemon resisting Urshifu's STABs too as part of why Bisharp's important to deal with them

Hope this should be good enough, lmk on Discord if you have any questions
