Urshifu’s New Exclusive Moves And G-Max Moves Detailed

Earlier today, The Pokemon Company released loads of new details for the upcoming Pokemon Sword/Shield expansions – which will add the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra as new locations in the game. Of course, these reveals also showcased some of the unique moves of the all-new Wushu Pokemon Urshifu!

In particular Urshifu will boast two new exclusive moves depending on which form it evolved into when it was originally Kubfu. Single Strike Style Urshifu will learn Wicked Blow, a single-strike that always results in a critical hit. Meanwhile, Rapid Strike Style Urshifu will learn Surging Strikes, a three-hit combo that also results in critical hits.

In addition to this, Urshifu’s two Gigantamax forms will have unique G-Max moves as well. All Dark-type attacks by Single Strike Style Gigantamax Urshifu will change to G-Max One Blow, while all Water-type attacks by Rapid Strike Style Gigantamax Urshifu will change to G-Max Rapid Flow. Both of these moves will ignore defensive moves such as Protect!
