Urshifu - Single Strike Style

A single strike is all it takes... to be pretty mediocre! In a world where Brutal Swing rules, Payback does not put in the work needed for Urshifu - Single Strike to rise the ranks to any great degree, so it's very, very far behind the top contenders. But, when all is said and done, Urshifu does have some solid performance as a Fighting Type. Its good moveset and solid Attack makes it better than Pokemon like Conkeldurr, and its Dark sub-typing gives it niches in select raids when used as a Fighting Type, but it still falls behind even the more mediocre Shadows.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

• Counter and Dynamic Punch is definitely Urshifu's best moveset on the whole.
• Sucker Punch and Payback can do something if you need a Dark Type.
• Rock Smash, Brick Break, and Close Combat are all pretty bad.

Sucker Punch provides higher energy generation than Counter, but also provides the same high damage output.

Urshifu's Charged Attacks consist of a slew of Fighting-type moves - of which Dynamic Punch stands out in due to its high DPE, moderately cheap cost, and lack of drawback. Complimenting that is Payback, a powerful but rather expensive STAB move that covers pesky Ghost- and Psychic-type Pokemon. Brick Break is an option - it is Urshifu's cheapest option and can provide a defense debuff, but its powerful is terribly lacking. Close Combat is more slightly powerful than Dynamic Punch, but it self-inflicts a potentially catastrophic Defense debuff and is generally not recommended.
