Record the two styles as separate form goals. Do not assume you can freely switch an evolved Urshifu between them; reserve your Kubfu and Candy for the style actually missing from your collection.

Fighting-type attacker
Urshifu · source does not identify a form; verify its moves before investing
Use this as a starting point for Urshifu. The actual best raid set depends on the boss's weaknesses, weather, Party Power and available forms.
PvP sets are open-league starting points, not guarantees for every team or matchup. Ranked sets come from PvPoke simulations; unranked Pokémon receive a clearly labeled DexJourney estimate. The raid set is a neutral same-type cycle estimate rather than a boss-specific counter ranking.

This species-level move-name list supports collection search, not a claim that every form can learn every move. Use the named form on each recommendation and verify unscoped sets before investing. Moves marked Elite TM / legacy may require an Elite TM or a limited event.
