Curious on people’s thoughts on water vs dark urshifu? I see in VGC it is basically exclusively water / rapid strike urshifu, so I’m curious why no one is picking dark single strike urshifu? #Pokemon

this is a bit late, but i do have an answer to this. urshifu single strike is better defensivly, while rapid strike is much better offensively. Single strike has much better typing, with one immunity and 3 weaknesses, compared to multi strikes 6 weaknesses (1/3)
and with both of their signature moves doing the same ammount of damage on paper, single strike SEEMS like a clear winner, but multi strike being a water type, and having its signature move being water type as well gives it a massive damage boost in rain (2/3)
so it bypasses focus sash and sturdy. another big factor is the presence of fluttermane, who hits single strike for quad weakness, making it almost useless in any matchup where flutter is present. Single strike does see competitive use, but its very meta dependent, unlike multi which is always good
