According to the past 2 months of Showdown usage stats, the 2 most common Pokemon in Reg F are rapid strike Urshifu and Flutter Mane. These are their most common moves, items, and EV spreads.

Urshifu @ mystic water/choice scarf
Ability: unseen fist
Tera types: mostly water
EVs: usually in physical attack and speed, but some have HP or special defense investment.
- surging strikes
- close combat
- aqua jet
- U-turn
- detect

Urshifu-R always has a big target on its back, notably being checked by Pokemon such as Rocky Helmet Amoonguss and Speed Booster Energy Flutter Mane, which is commonly utilized on Tailwind teams, as it can outspeed and OHKO Urshifu-R if it does not Terastallize. Raging Bolt and Rillaboom also immensely pressure Urshifu-R with their priority moves in Thunderclap and Grassy Glide, the former of which may even OHKO Urshifu-R depending on Raging Bolt's Special Attack investment. Rillaboom can also disrupt Urshifu-R and its teammates with Fake Out. Iron Hands comfortably takes even Tera Water-boosted Surging Strikes and can potentially OHKO Urshifu-R back with Wild Charge.

Flutter Mane @ usually booster energy
Ability: protosynthesis
Tera types: fairy
EVs: special attack and speed
- moonblast
- shadow ball
- protect
- dazzling gleam
- icy wind
- taunt

Bulky Assault Vest users that can take a boosted Moonblast and OHKO Flutter Mane in response like Kingambit and Rillaboom are some of its toughest matchups. Flutter Mane also faces issues into faster threats like Chien-Pao and Choice Scarf Urshifu-R. Additionally, redirectors like Indeedee-F and Ogerpon-W mitigate its damage output when on the field.
