The Stategy of this specific Urshifu list is to basically pivot the deck into different directions depending on the matchup into the following;
Palkia VSTAR - Urshifu/Zeraora
Arceus Variants - Urshifu
Mew VMAX - Birds.
Alongside this, the inteleon line is used alongside the 4 scoop up net and galarian moltres v and energy switches are used to accelerate energy.

This is paired with a strong line of support with cards like octillery, inteleon & drizzile, mew, crobat v and supporters like raihan and sonia which can grab anything out of the deck. Some strong weaknesses to this is early game consistiency where you can draw into some pretty clunky hands, and then prize cards and resource management.

There are also some interesting inclusions such as;
* Supereffective Glasses; this is mainly paired with zeraora against palkia to do an easy 300 rather than needing belt + inteleon ping to hit the 280. Its also able to be paired with urshifu to KO with GMAX rapid flow while placing bench damage - in a nutshell it helps KO with less resources.
* Korrina's Focus; this replaced professors research as the inclusion of the octillery line means it can be searched out and you arent discarding needed 1 off resources in the early game.

So I write looking for some suggestions and feedback on the list. What would you cut? What would you add? Etc.
Some suggestions for inclusions include;
* Peonia for prizing
* Brawly instead of Sonia as it searches more pokemon and searched out with octillery
* Bench Dmg modifiers such as zigzagzoon, passimian, telescopic sight, medicham V
- Having zigzagzoon + medicham V is a counter to things like dunsparce and manaphy as they open to KOing them on the bench (w/inteleon and nets) and then gives a second turn to set up bench damage/KO
* Pumpkaboo to remove annoying stadiums such as temple of sinnoh
* Phoebe for against Duraladon VMAX (if that works)


Many thanks :)
