The Fighting/Water-type Urshifu (Rapid Strike Style) is a decent Pokémon with lower viability than its Single Strike counterpart. So, if you're not sure which one you should evolve Kubfu into, Single Strike Style it is!
Note that both Urshifu forms have the same stats but different typing and moveset.
It is outclassed in both its typings but is better off as a Fighting-type attacker. As a Water type, it just doesn't pack enough power due to an underwhelming moveset. 🙁
🧬 Evolution
You can evolve Kubfu into Urshifu (Rapid Strike Style) with 200 Kubfu Candy after you defeat 30 Water-type Pokémon in raids or Max Battles with Kubfu as your buddy. You do not have to defeat the Pokémon with Kubfu.
⚔️ Raids
Even when Megas and Shadows are out of contention, Urshifu Rapid Strike is largely outclassed as a Water type in Raids. You have many other Pokémon to use. 🌊
When not considering Megas and Shadows, either Urshifu form is a great Fighting-type attacker in Raids.
🛡️ Gyms
Legendaries can't be put in Gyms.
🔮 Gigantamax/Dynamax
Dynamax Urshifu Rapid Strike is not a strong DMax Pokémon. There is no room for viability as a Water type attacker since superior options like Gigantamax Blastoise, Inteleon, and Kingler, as well as Dynamax Kingler, Inteleon, and Blastoise do the job better.
As a Fighting-type attacker, Gigantamax Machamp is what you need and Urshifu Rapid Strike is definitely outclassed.
👉 Gigantamax Urshifu Rapid Strike would be a vast improvement with its signature GMax Rapid Flow in tow. But, Waterfall not being a 0.5s Fast Move definitely pulls it back and though it'll be far better than its DMax variant, it'll be still outclassed.
💎 The best moves for Urshifu Rapid Strike in PvE are Counter and Dynamic Punch
