Urshifu is ‘ruining competitive Pokémon’—but its best counter is just as annoying
Urshifu has been an absolute menace in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet VGC, to the point where pros believe it’s ruining competitive play, but not even the Gen VIII Legendary is safe from the tiny mushroom, Amoonguss.
It’s no secret that Urshifu is one of the best Pokémon picks in VGC right now. Its Water/Fighting-type Rapid Strike form has been consistently performing well at major events throughout Regulation D and E—most recently winning the Latin America International Championships alongside Hisuian Arcanine on Nov. 19—but many pro players are not happy with its presence.
