There’s some good Fighting support in Standard and some great examples in Expanded. Urshifu VMAX is a Fighting type, which is great for exploiting Weakness, though it does crash into Resistance a little often. Single Strike Urshifu VMAX is a Gigantamax Pokémon, but this term currently has no game mechanics or effects that reference it. They do still count as Pokémon V, though, so any support that excludes Pokémon V won’t work for it, while any counters that specify Pokémon V still apply. This makes them about as demanding as Stage 1 Pokémon, but they don’t actually count as Stage 1 Pokémon for the purposes of card effects. Pokémon VMAX are the evolved form of Pokémon V, and evolve only from Basic Pokémon V.
As a Pokémon-VMAX, it counts as as Rule Box Pokémon, it gives up three Prizes when KO’d, can access VMAX support, and has to deal with anti-VMAX effects.
Single Strike Urshifu VMAX being a VMAX covers familiar territory. You can get a general idea and list of the relevant cards here. They do not have Rule Boxes: they are worth however many Prizes when KO’d as their other game mechanics dictate, you put them into play the normal way, etc. What being a Single Strike Pokémon actually entails is access to a new family of cards and their support. Most Single Strike cards don’t have “Single Strike” in their names, but they all have the label. Technically, this does not make it a Single Strike Pokémon it is the “Single Strike” label in the upper-right corner of its card art (just below its HP and type). Single Strike Urshifu VMAX has a Battle Style in its name. Until or unless that happens, though, they’re just two Pokémon VMAX with the same Pokémon type, nothing more. It is possible some future card effect could reference both of them, or all cards with “Urshifu” in their name. Not unlike with the Galarian or Alolan forms of Pokémon that do not share the same lower Stage(s). Let us start by me pointing out that, from the game’s point of view, Single Strike Urshifu VMAX is a totally separate, unrelated entity from Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX. It has quite the mouthful of a name, one that calls for some explaining as it references two game mechanics. Single Strike Urshifu VMAX (SW – Battle Styles 086/163, 167/163, 168/163) is our 13th-Place Pick for the latest set.
