Also, notice that I've mentioned some sets in Optional Changes section that I found way too underwhelming, but if you have some positive experiences using any of them please hit me up.

[Overview]
- One of the few Pokemon that gets Butterfly Dance, and hands down the most effective user of that move.
- Very good stat distribution. Respectable defenses give it a good amount of durability and amazing offensive stats allow it to easily pull off a sweep.
- Absolutely murdered by entry hazards, being vulnerable to all of them and bearing a 4x weakness to Stealth Rock.
- Bad defensive typing and a low Attack stat hinder its respectable movepool and limit its usage to sweeping on the special side.

Set Comments:
- Hits 553 Special Attack and 492 Speed after a single Butterfly Dance.
- Impressively hard to take down after a boost if one doesn’t have an attack to hit it on the physical side, as Butterfly Dance boost its already high Special Defense to obscene levels.
- Can setup on almost every special attacker that doesn’t have a move to hit it for super effective damage.
- Urugamosu’s typing, although unfortunate, shields it from being revenge killed by the likes of Scizor’s Bullet Punch, Lucario’s Vacuum Wave and so on.
- Rapid Spin support is a must in order to abuse Urugamosu’s bulk when setting up.
- Bug Buzz and Fire Blast are STABs and hit almost everything that doesn’t resist them for high amounts of damage.
- Hidden Power Ground rounds off this set allowing Urugamosu to hit the likes of Heatran, Tentacruel, Terakion, Shandera and Blaziken for super effective damage.
- Fire Dance can be used over Fire Blast if one is willing to trade the latter’s superior base power for Fire Dance’s higher PP, perfect accuracy and possibility of raising Special Attack.
- Hidden Power Rock is another option if one desires to hit Flying-types that resist Fire-type attacks such as Gyarados, Aakeosu, Rayquaza and Salamence for super effective damage. The speed drop is extremely harmful to Urugamosu however, as he no longer can tie with other base 100 Speed Pokemon.
- EVs are straightforward and boost Urugamosu’s sweeping capability to the maximum, while retaining an odd HP number.
- Leftovers can be used over Life Orb if you want to abuse the Special Defense boost provided by Butterfly Dance, but it hinders Urugamosu’s sweeping potential.
- Rapid Spin support cannot be emphasized enough. Doryuuzu makes an awesome partner not only because he’s the best offensive spinner, also for his resistances to Rock- and Flying-type attacks, while Urugamosu can take Fighting-type ones.
- Many of Urugamosu’s counters are either grounded or weak to Stealth Rock, making it extremely beneficial to have entry hazards support. Nattorei excels at that job due to its amazing defensive stats and ability to take Water-type attacks.
- Partners should be able to beat whatever Pokemon the Hidden Power type chosen by Urugamosu does not cover.
- Ninetails and Groudon because of Drought.
- Blissey walls Urugamosu to no end.
- Bulky Water-types such as Kerudio and Kyogre can easily come in and start setting up Calm Minds alongside Urugamosu. Kyogre also comes with the bonus of Drizzle. Although it cannot do the same as the aforementioned two, Burungeru resists both STABs and has good Special Defense.
- Other counters depend on whatever kind of Hidden Power Urugamosu is employing.
- Again, Rapid Spin support. Due to Urugamosu’s offensive nature, recommended partners include Doryuuzu and Starmie.
- All kinds of entry hazards are appreciated, as most of Urugamosu’s counters tend to be extremely weak to at least one of them.
- Urugamosu attracts Water-types like no one else, making Grass- and Electric-types awesome partners.
- Empoleon and Dialga are great partners due to resisting all of Urugamosu’s weaknesses. Both of them can also support it by setting up Stealth Rock.
- Sun erases Urugamosu’s weakness to Water-type attacks and boosts Fire Blast’s power to obscene levels, making Groudon and Ninetails good partners.
- Has a respectable physical movepool composed of Flare Blitz and Wild Bolt, but it's hindered by Urugamosu's paltry base 60 Attack.
- Gets a fair amount of support moves such as Will-O-Wisp, Whirlwind and Morning Sun, but its typing discredits it as a defensive Pokemon.
- A Choice Specs set can be used with U-turn over Butterfly Dance, but Urugamosu’s weakness to Stealth Rock severely hinders this set’s potential.
- Hidden Power Electric can be used in order to hit Water-types that resist Bug Buzz.
- Stealth Rock will constantly keep it at bay.
- Blissey is never 2HKOed by Fire Blast, even after a Butterfly Dance, and can proceed to status it, making a sweep unlikely.
- Kyogre can easily defeat Urugamosu with its gargantuan Special Defense and Drizzle.
- Kerudio and Burungeru resist both of Urugamosu’s STABs, fear nothing but the odd Hidden Power Electric and fight back with their respective Water-type attacks.
- If it’s carrying Hidden Power Ground: Gyarados, Aakeosu, Rayquaza and Salamence. If carrying Hidden Power Rock: Heatran, Terakion, Tentacruel, Blaziken, Infernape.
- Pure Water-types that are bulky on the special side such as Vaporeon and Suicune tend to make good counters, but those that rely on special attacks to beat it should watch out for the Special Defense boosts provided by Butterfly Dance.
- Swarm isn’t overwhelming, but is easy to abuse due to Urugamosu’s weakness to entry hazards and makes blasting through bulky Water-types an easier task.
