Finished 14th at Pittsburgh Regionals. Starting 8-0 and ending Day 1 at 2nd seed with 74.07% resistance was incredibly gratifying. Despite my inability to convert to top cut, I’m proud of my preparation and performance. Sadly eternally dodging stream, hoping the streak ends soon.

@45mice Agreed. Urshifu provides too much value in its kit for a fundamentally easy Pokémon to play. Hitting through Protect with an ability, always guaranteeing a Critical Hit, and effectively requiring multiple (in most cases too many) resources for a KO with Focus Sash, is broken.
