Picked Rapid mostly to avoid the 4x weakness to fairy

Single Strike due to Dark's general superiority as an offensive type.

Single Strike because my main Shield team did not have a Dark or Fighting type so Urshifu fits right in.

I traded for a single strike one so with the one I earned in game I chose rapid strike. Rapid strike also has the benefits of no 4x weakness and a move that critical hits three times. So technically I picked both but I actually picked rapid strike.

I haven't gotten Kubfu yet, but I'm planning on getting Rapid Strike since I need more Water types for my overall roster. Plus, since my character in Sword would normally get Single Strike, I decided on the opposite form to show that she's trying to grow and become a better trainer

I chose a Rapid Strike just because it looked cooler.

Chose Single Strike as it would fit my team better since I chose Sobble as my starter.

I chose Dark cause Dark type is best type.
That and I wanted Urshifu to not get boxed as I'm never boxing a Lucario, and Inteleon was my starter
Getting the other on Shield and transferring it over after

I chose Single strike because I already had two water types on my team.

Haven't made my decision yet, but I have been using both in Showdown, and loving it.
Single Strike might be the single best counter to Trick Room. KO's Indeedee and lets you take care of the Trick Room setter with Taunt or a Max Move. Dusclops hates it. Dark is a dangerous offensive type with no immunities.
Scarfed Rapid Strike in the rain is terrifying. Provides a great counter to both Sun and Sandstorm. Immediately KO's Cinderace and Tyranitar. Rain boosted Surging Strikes hits ridiculously hard and breaks focus sashes.
Both Pokemon are great in Doubles, because of the ability Unseen Fist allowing it to bypass Protect--the best move in Doubles. However, one must remember that Togekiss remains the biggest threat in the meta game, and so needs counters.
I will probably choose Single Strike, because I find it to be a bit more unique of a Pokemon. However, I will find a way to get Rapid Strike too.

I went with Single Strike because I had already chose Sobble as my starter, and I don't like having more than one Pokemon of the same type on a team. Single Strike's 4x weakness to Fairy didn't bother me that much because I had Venusaur to cover it, my original plan was to have Galarian Slowbro as type coverage for Fairy, but you can't get the Galarica Cuff until after you get the water upgrade on the bike near the end of the game. Perhaps I'll do another playthrough and try out Rapid Strike some day.

I love water types. Rapid Strike is both powerful and unique with it’s typing. I picked Rapid Strike before looking at stats online, it was worth it. My favorite part is how it crushes through Sturdy/Focus Sash and inflicts damage through protect. Toxapex is the biggest threat I think. Rapid Strike gets Elemental Punches as well. Fire/Thunder Punch on a Water type is pretty awesome.
