Pokédex entries

Gigantamax Single Strike Style

Sword People call it the embodiment of rage. It’s said that this Pokémon’s terrifying expression and shout will rid the world of malevolence.
Shield The energy released by this Pokémon’s fists forms shock waves that can blow away Dynamax Pokémon in just one hit.

Single Strike Style

Sword This form of Urshifu is a strong believer in the one-hit KO. Its strategy is to leap in close to foes and land a devastating blow with a hardened fist.
Shield Inhabiting the mountains of a distant region, this Pokémon races across sheer cliffs, training its legs and refining its moves.

Gigantamax Rapid Strike Style

Sword As it waits for the right moment to unleash its Gigantamax power, this Pokémon maintains a perfect one-legged stance. It won’t even twitch.
Shield All it takes is a glare from this Pokémon to take the lives of those with evil in their hearts—or so they say.

Rapid Strike Style

Sword It’s believed that this Pokémon modeled its fighting style on the flow of a river—sometimes rapid, sometimes calm.
Shield This form of Urshifu is a strong believer in defeating foes by raining many blows down on them. Its strikes are nonstop, flowing like a river.
