**To use Urshifu Single Strike effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Fighting/Dark type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Urshifu Single Strike appears as a prominent choice in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Urshifu Single Strike fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Unseen Fist, Focus Sash and Adamant 2/32/0/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Wicked Blow, Close Combat, Sucker Punch, Protect, Detect, and U-turn. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Urshifu Single Strike has important weaknesses to fairy 4x, fighting 2x, flying 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Farigiraf, Indeedee-F, Torkoal, Incineroar, and Hatterene appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
