For those wondering, in the official battles also called VGC, the best Gigantamax Pokémon right now are Coalossal and Venusaur with Charizard, Rillaboom and Blastoise following close. Both Urshifu are very good too, they just tend not to Gigantamax that often. Many people tend to agree that, as the metagame develops into double restricted Pokémon allowed (you can use 2 of the hardest hitting Legendaries per team), Venusaur is probably the all-around best Gigantamax Pokémon there is.

[@galaxystudios370]

[@dapes-]

On the Urshifu-R vs Ursifu-S discussion, I don't know about other metagames, but in singles Ursifu-S is vastly superior. Water/Fighting is better defensively, but has many top tier pokémon of different types it must watch out for, namely bulky water and grass types (Toxapex, Tangrowth just to name one of each). This also means it has no option in running coverage against both, since for example Thunder punch hits water types but is resisted by grass types. However, Urshifu-S is basically only resisted by fairy types, and it has both Poison jab and Iron head to deal with them. This means that while both Urshifus are tasked on wallbreaking and pivoting around, Urshifu-S is much harder to deal with defensively and thus much more efficient at its job. Thus, why Urshifu-R is currently OU while Urshifu-S is Uber. Of course, this is just for singles metagames and you have other reasons to choose Rapid over Single. Just wanted to comment on this since you said that most agree on fighting/water being vastly superior than fighting/dark in the urshifu context, when that is not the case in some of the biggest (unofficial) formats aka smogon singles.

[@tsths]

I was wating for a dude to say that, because what's your saying is true, when this moment of the video happen i was like "eerrrh yea nah Urshifu S is way stronger than Urshifu R"

[@mipho5899]

Rapid Strike is better than Single Strike in vgc, a little depending on the Meta but it has usually more usage the last seasons and in TCG beginning it was considered to be the best Deck to the Battle Styles release time, Single Strike was a joke compared it. It only got better over the time with newer sets but still didn't beat the numbers of Rapid Strike, well until now where both are useless decks because Mew VMAX invalidates both entirely. So it's a very close win for Rapid Strike.

@@mipho5899 Isn't Single Strike the Second most used Mon in Doubles, only behind Incineroar?

[@KainYusanagi]

@@BM03 But he's correct? In short, the asteroid that created the Chicxulub crater caused a long-lasting massive ice age that killed off the dinosaurs. In more detail, the speed and angle of impact threw up a massive cloud of dirt and debris into the atmosphere , including sulfuric acid from sulfate-rich anhydrite that had been vaporized on impact, that basically created a solar shroud around the entire planet; it first rained lethal acid rain (killing much of the marine life), rained brimstone and fire as the larger particulate came flying back down and ignited wildfires worldwide which contributed ash and smoke to the shroud, which then ushered in an artificial ice age that caused the fifth mass extinction event on the planet. 80% of all life died. There's a thin layer of iridium-rich clay that shrouds the entire world deep within the geological strata that matches the remaining evidence left behind of the Chicxulub asteroid remains, as further conclusive evidence.

Funny thing is if Single Strike Urshifu wasn't so defensively vulnerable to those fairy moves, it probably could have won against Gmax Lapras as its signature move isn't resisted by Nessie there.

[@dialzza4902]

The bit on Gmax Urshifu vs Lapras gets a detail wrong- Unseen Fist doesn't ignore the damage reduction from Aurora Veil, it juts hits through Protect (and Max Guard).

[@blackmark2899]

The signature moves of the Urshifu always crit so it negates damage reduction moves. Not sure if that trait carries over to their G-Max version.

So one point you actually get very wrong is the Urshifu breakdown. Despite the 4x weakness to fairy, Ursifu -S is the most powerful and most used between the two. If you go to Pikalytics Dark type Urshifu is used the second most behind Incineroar and has the highest win rate out of every Pokemon in 2021. Dark type are more useful in regards to not being able to be targeted by prankster moves which is huge because a lot of popular doubles mons like tornados, whimsicott, and grimsnarl cannot touch you with status moves. Also the immunities and weaknesses for both are actually irrelevant as both has such poor special that even resistance doesn't help much. And both being weak to max airstream is the general concern anyways. In single battle Single Strike Urishfu is just straight up banned in Smogon. Wicked blow deals more damage then surging strike and the only thing that resists single strikes dark/fighting combo is fairy. It was so overwhelming in singles that it was sent to play with legendary Pokemon lol. When the two where first introduced, everyone initially thought that rapid strike was better because we only looked at the 4x weakness to fairy but we ignored everything else lol.

[@pride_mitochondria3921]

Hey lockstin in the smogon meta game single strike was vastly superior to rapid due to it having the ability to hit almost anything with it's fighting or dark stab (both of which are good offensive typings) to the point that it got banned from over used unlike rapid strike. Just kinda throwing that out there

Single Strike was also better in VGC, so I'm not sure what he's talking about.

[@voidfields5065]

I mean by that logic lapris would have lost cause nobody used it

[@FoxGamingWoah]

Gmaxes weren’t allowed allowed in the smogon meta game though. This is mostly based on cards and VGC. I would say urshifu should win but aurora veil probably would lead to lapras winning. Urshifu’s ability doesn’t bypass aurora veil anyways in game. Also urshifu’s spdef is trash, in a 1v1 with gigantimax I would say lapras almost always wins, it could veil, it could just max lighting twice, there are a ton of options for it. I think with how evenly matched it is, I would say lapras wins bc of the battle royale logic. If it was 1v1 no gigantimax, urshifu wins for sure. That BP reduction of max knuckle HURTS lol.

a counter argument to the whole, "they physically couldn't exist" im pretty sure in the games lore, its stated that the Pokémon themselves don't actually grow bigger as a result of the dynamax energy, but rather grow a projection of themselves, basically they form a giant projection of themselves to fight with.
