Terastal Phenomenon
In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (Generation 9), each Pokémon in Paldea has a Tera Type. A Pokémon's Tera Type is inactive until the Pokémon Terastallizes, at which time the Pokémon's type will change to its Tera Type.
There are 18 types, meaning there are countless combinations of Pokémon and Tera Types. Terastallizing a Pokémon allows you to enhance your battle strategies by increasing the power of any moves that have the same type as your Pokémon’s Tera Type or by changing your Pokémon’s weaknesses.
Electric moves are bad against Ground.
Fairy moves are bad against Steel/Poison/Fire.
Flying moves are bad against Steel/Rock/Electric.
Grass moves are bad against Grass/Dragon/Fire/Flying/Poison/Bug/Steel.
Psychic moves are bad against Dark.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Urshifu-rapid-strike is: Steel
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Fighting or Water ) could also prove useful.

Urshifu is an interesting Physical Sweeper for single battles. It is meant to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Focus Sash helps protect Urshifu from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Choice Band will increase the damage of Urshifu's physical moves by 1.5x at the cost of locking you into the first move you pick. With Unseen Fist, Urshifu's contact moves ignore the target's protection except max guard.

◆ Liquidation is a physical STAB-boosted 85-base power Water-type move (20% chance to lower the target's defense by 1 stage).
