Ogerpon-C is a distinct pick on Grass teams that has its place over its other formes. Its Rock typing, coupled with its amazing Speed and offenses, makes it a formidable force, allowing it to nail any Flying- and Fire-type threats to Grass teams such as Galarian Moltres, Gouging Fire, and Volcarona with the powerful and accurate Ivy Cudgel. Swords Dance can boost Ogerpon-C's Attack further, allowing it to beat Dragonite through Multiscale at +2 as well as brute force through Heatran if Ogerpon-C lacks Fighting-type coverage. Horn Leech is a great STAB move that allows Ogerpon-C to retain Sturdy by virtue of healing; however, Power Whip is another option if Ogerpon-C wants more power, such as to OHKO Iron Treads after a Swords Dance. Sturdy also allows Ogerpon-C to survive the likes of Swords Dance-boosted Baxcalibur's Ice Shard, Chien-Pao, and Dragon Dance-boosted Gouging Fire Flare Blitz and retaliate with Ivy Cudgel. Trailblaze lets Ogerpon-C boost its Speed and outspeed the likes of Choice Scarf Enamorus as well as Speed tie Choice Scarf Iron Moth. Low Kick is an alternative choice to take care of pesky heavy Steel-types that Ogerpon-C is otherwise useless against, such as Heatran and Kingambit, but Superpower is an alternative choice that is more reliable against targets that are not heavy, specifically Archaludon.

Ogerpon-C appreciates help from its teammates to help beat down its checks and counters. Choice Scarf Meowscarada can take care of any Dragon-types in sight, such as Latios, Dragapult, and Roaring Moon, with its Protean-boosted Play Rough and Triple Axel, as well as remove Leftovers from Corviknight with Knock Off. In return, Ogerpon-C takes out Moltres for Meowscarada. Amoonguss and Hydrapple are great defensive partners, withstanding strong attacks from the likes of Sneasler, Zamazenta, and Iron Valiant for the former and Heatran, Cinderace, and Gouging Fire without a Dragon-type move for the latter; they can also retaliate with a variety of options and heal the damage off with Regenerator. Amoonguss is able to put Ogerpon-C's checks to sleep, as well as outright beat Iron Valiant with Sludge Bomb; it also comes with the added benefit of being able to remove Toxic Spikes, which allows Ogerpon-C to preserve its Sturdy. In exchange, Ogerpon-C beats Dragonite and Articuno, which trouble Amoonguss and Hydrapple. Hisuian Lilligant and Breloom are more great partners, both being able to boost and beat down Steel-types with powerful STAB Fighting-type moves, alongside having access to sleep and Upper Hand to catch Chien-Pao off guard when it uses Ice Shard. Sinistcha is a great teammate that can be a wincon with Calm Mind after Ogerpon-C has weakened the opposition enough, and it is also able to beat down Fighting-types that trouble Ogerpon-C such as Zamazenta and Iron Hands. Serperior is another choice that can paralyze faster threats such as Flutter Mane, Iron Valiant and Zamazenta with Glare, alongside providing passive healing to Ogerpon-C to maintain Sturdy via Leech Seed and being a threat with Contrary Leaf Storm if it gets going. Abomasnow is another partner that can set up Aurora Veil for Ogerpon-C, which provides it with ease of setup, as well as beat Dragon-types like Latias and non-Choice Specs Dragapult with Ice Shard. Lastly, Brambleghast is a great partner to remove entry hazards and retain Ogerpon-C's Sturdy, as it is unable to hold Heavy-Duty Boots, while blanking Tornadus-T and Zapdos's Hurricanes by virtue of Wind Rider. Brambleghast also has the added benefit of being able to set Spikes, which punishes the switch-ins forced by Ogerpon-C and helps it in knocking foes out.

Ogerpon-C can make use of Knock Off to disrupt Pokemon reliant on Leftovers for its teammates to beat later, as well as take care of Gholdengo on its own without help from Meowscarada. It is able to set Spikes to wear down incoming threats and defensive Pokemon over the course of a game. Play Rough is another option that can be used to take care of the Dragon-types that can annoy Ogerpon-C such as Walking Wake and Raging Bolt. Zen Headbutt can be used to beat opposing defensive Poison-types such as Amoonguss and Clodsire that can outlast Ogerpon-C otherwise. U-turn is another good choice to bring in teammates against the defensive switch-ins Ogerpon-C forces. Encore and Taunt are also both great disruption tools that allow Ogerpon-C to either boost itself or bring in a teammate like Calm Mind Sinistcha and set up with much ease. Ogerpon-C's vast coverage and disruption can be used in the fourth moveslot to complement its STAB moves; meanwhile, U-turn can also be used over Swords Dance to use Ogerpon-C as an offensive pivot.

[SET COMMENTS]
Ogerpon's Cornerstone form is a discrete pick on Grass teams that has its advantages over other forms (not really, Fire is still the better form, but with Rock's niche of bonking Gouger, Sturdy being op rn too. This also has a sort of better matchup vs poison since you can cudgel everyone bar sneasler, and thats not so bad since you're forced out by it anyway). Its Rock typing, coupled with its amazing Speed and offenses, makes it a formidable force, allowing it to nail down any Flying-type threats to Grass teams with the powerful and accurate Ivy Cudgel such as Galarian Moltres, Zapdos and Tornadus-T. Swords Dance can boost Ogerpon-C's attack further, allowing it to beat Dragonite through Multiscale at +2 as well as brute force through non-Iron Defense Corviknight (skarm is the mon to beat rn, appearing more often than corv if you tally Steel + Flying together, maybe a different example like heatran). Horn Leech is a great STAB move that allows Ogerpon-C to retain Sturdy by virtue of healing, however Power Whip is another option if it wants more power (maybe insert a calc here describing where p.whip would be better?). Sturdy also allows Ogerpon-C to live the likes of Swords Dance boosted Baxcalibur Ice Shard, Chien-Pao and Dragon Dance boosted Gouging Fire and retaliate with Ivy Cudgel. Trailblaze lets Ogerpon-C have access to a way to boost its Speed and outspeed the likes of Choice Scarf Enamorus, Volcarona (um this sort of implies scarf volc, maybe reword this statement instead) at +1, as well as speed tie Choice Scarf Iron Moth and opposing Ogerpon-H at +1 (You just click cudgel over trailblaze if against Oger-H). Low Kick is an alternative choice to be able to take care of pesky heavy Steel-types that Ogerpon-C is otherwise useless against, such as Heatran and Kingambit, but Superpower is an alternative choice that is more reliable against targets that are not heavy (Specifically, making it very likely to OHKO Archaludon).

Ogerpon-C much appreciates help from its teammates to help beat down its checks and counters. Choice Scarf Meowscarada can take care of any Dragon-types in sight with its STAB Play Rough and Triple Axel such as Latios, Dragapult and Roaring Moon, as well as Knock Off Leftovers from Corviknight and Choice Scarf from Pokemon faster than Ogerpon-C such as Greninja (you'd rather kill gren than knock off its scarf meow). Meowscarada is also able to take care of Gholdengo and Chien-Pao (it doesnt for both, Chien-Pao shards and Ghold just lives, the examples you gave earlier feels sufficient enough) which can stump Grass teams. Amoonguss and Hydrapple are great defensive partners, both being able to withstand strong attacks from the likes of Sneasler, Zamazenta and Iron Valiant for the former and Heatran, Cinderace and Iron Moth (Hydrapple is more for Gouger without dragon moves,and since Grass has no steel type, Sludge Wave is pretty free and very dangerous for the apple) for the latter; and retaliate with a variety of options and heal the damage off with regenerator. Amoonguss is able to put Ogerpon-C's checks to sleep, as well as outright beat Iron Valiant with Sludge Bomb. On the other Hand, Assault Vest Hydrapple is able to beat Steel-types with Earth Power and attack with the extremely powerful, at times, Fickle Beam (AV Hydrapple isnt really that great imo, Amoon also gets rid of tspikes). Hisuian Lilligant and Breloom are more great partners, both being able to boost up and beat down Steel-types with powerful STAB Fighting-type moves, alongside having access to Sleep (Both also have upper hand, which is great for a certain shard user). Sinistcha is a good teammate which can be a wincon with Calm Mind after Ogerpon-C has weakened the opposition enough (its the fighting counter Oger-C synergizes with). Serperior is another choice that can paralyse faster threats with Glare such as Flutter Mane, Iron Valiant and Zamazenta, alongside being able to provide passive healing to Ogerpon-C to maintain Sturdy via Leech Seed, whilst being a threat with Contrary Leaf Storm if it gets going. Lastly, Brambleghast is a great partner to be able to remove entry hazards, and retain Ogerpon-C's Sturdy as it is unable to hold Heavy-Duty Boots, so it is much appreciated.

Sinistcha is a good teammate which can be a wincon with Calm Mind after Ogerpon-C has weakened the opposition enough, and it forms a great core with Ogerpon-C to beat the Fighting-types it is weak to such as Zamazenta and Iron Hands. (No core, it really just bonks fighting honestly).

Ogerpon's Cornerstone form Ogerpon-C is a discrete (meaning is correct, but the connotations of discrete are wrong here- I would use "distinct" instead) pick on Grass teams that has its place over its other formes. Its Rock typing, coupled with its amazing Speed and offenses, makes it a formidable force, allowing it to nail down any Flying- and Fire-type threats to Grass teams such as Galarian Moltres, Gouging Fire, and Volcarona with the powerful and accurate Ivy Cudgel such as Gouging Fire, Volcarona and Galarian Moltres. Swords Dance can boost Ogerpon-C's attack Attack further, allowing it to beat Dragonite through Multiscale at +2 as well as brute force through Heatran if Ogerpon-C lacks Fighting-type coverage. Horn Leech is a great STAB move that allows Ogerpon-C to retain Sturdy by virtue of healing; (replaced comma with semicolon) however, (AC) Power Whip is another option if Ogerpon-C wants more power, such as to OHKO Iron Treads after a Swords Dance. Sturdy also allows Ogerpon-C to live survive the likes of Swords Dance-boosted (AH) Baxcalibur's Ice Shard, Chien-Pao, (AC) and Dragon Dance-boosted (AH) Gouging Fire (consult with QC if possible for adding moves [although I assume anything should be fine since it's Sturdy], but the list should ideally be fully Pokemon + move [ex. Baxcalibur's Ice Shard, Chien-Pao's Ice Spinner, and Gouging Fire's Flare Blitz] for parallelism) and retaliate with Ivy Cudgel. Trailblaze lets Ogerpon-C have access boost its Speed and outspeed the likes of Choice Scarf Enamorus as well as speed Speed tie Choice Scarf Iron Moth. Low Kick is an alternative choice to be able to take care of pesky heavy Steel-types that Ogerpon-C is otherwise useless against, such as Heatran and Kingambit, but Superpower is an alternative choice that is more reliable against targets that are not heavy, specifically to beat Archaludon.
