Never, otherwise how they would force you to pay $90?

Motherfucker got BUFFED this gen with access to Swords Dance. We also got Ursaluna aka cocaine bear that is absolutely ridiculous as well. Someone at GF has a bear fetish.

The fact that it's on so many teams right now and absolutely dominating

Urshifu was tailor made to fuck up VGC.
Its exclusive ability can bypass Protect.
Both exclusive moves guarantee a crit so they bypass Intimidate and screens.
Rapid Strike in particular can bypass Focus Sash with Surging Strikes.
All its missing is a way to beat Fake Out.

And if not for open-sheet it would have been even worse because both forms look exact the same in Team Preview so you can't even prep for it properly 2

Just like their competitive scene, they don't give flying a fuck, even moreso for a forgettable "Legendary".

It's hysterical that shitters in this board think Gastrodon and Regieleki are still relevant in VGC

They nerfed plenty of Pokemon this gen, like Cresselia, Mew and Zacian. Even if you just play on Showdown you should know this.

I'm surprised they nerfed Transistor, but didn't nerf Unseen Fist. Now that Max Guard isn't a thing, normal Protect should at least reduce some damage. It doesn't even have to be the 75% "couldn't fully Protect itself," it could be 50 or 33%, but it taking Protect counterplay off the menu greatly centralizes the meta on "Pokemon that can take a Surging Strikes."

Unseen fist is just an infiltrator copy, it's nothing special as an ability. The problem is the sum of all of Urshifu's parts, it's a Pokemon that was overtuned for competitive play.

Infiltrator doesn't go through Protect, if it did Dragapult would be insane.

>5% usage and #29 respectively (Gastrodon)
imagine being so much of a meta cuck that you think only the top 10 or so pokemon are usable.

I never said it's unusable, I said it's irrelevant (a fact you proved). Gastrodon shouldn't be a determining factor in your team building, and it's not a real Urshifu counter
