Surging Strikes (Japanese: すいりゅうれんだ Stream Strikes) is a damage-dealing Water-type multistrike move introduced during Generation VIII, in The Isle of Armor. It is the signature move of Rapid Strike Style Urshifu.

Effect

Surging Strikes inflicts damage, hitting its target three times per use. Each strike will always result in a critical hit unless the target has Battle Armor or Shell Armor.

If a Focus Sash activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent. Sturdy will activate with each hit if the defending Pokémon has a maximum HP of 1.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Surging Strikes cannot be selected in a battle.
