[SET COMMENTS]
Ogerpon-W is a fantastic pivot thanks to its combination of high Speed, power, and utility. It can outspeed and threaten out many key threats such as Great Tusk, Heatran, and Gliscor with its powerful Ivy Cudgel, which it can capitalize on to gain momentum with U-turn. Horn Leech complements Ivy Cudgel, hitting bulky Water-types such as Alomomola and Primarina for super effective damage and recovering HP, which is useful for mitigating entry hazard damage. U-turn allows Ogerpon-W to pivot out of bad matchups against Kyurem and Dragonite while also dealing high damage to Roaring Moon and many Grass-types that may want to switch into it, such as Rillaboom, Serperior, and Hydrapple. Taunt prevents Pokemon such as Clefable and Tera Grass Heatran from setting up entry hazards or using status as well as stopping recovery or setup attempts from Pokemon such as Skarmory, Dragonite, or Corviknight, which is useful in wearing them down over time. Alternatively, Encore can be used to punish setup from various Pokemon such as Kingambit, Zamazenta, and Garganacl while similarly disrupting walls such as Corviknight and Skarmory. Spikes can be run over Taunt or Encore, as Ogerpon-W can find many opportunities to lay Spikes due to the switches it forces and has good match-ups against various hazard removers such as Great Tusk and Iron Treads. Spikes synergizes well with U-turn, as their combined chip damage will wear down many of Ogerpon-W's switch-ins such as Tera Dragon Skarmory and Raging Bolt over time. Water Absorb allows Ogerpon-W to more safely switch into opposing Water-types such as Barraskewda, Hisuian Samurott, and Alomomola, notably making it riskier for these Pokemon to gain momentum with Flip Turn. Ogerpon-W is an average Terastallization candidate, as it is filling a supportive role and its Tera type is telegraphed. Nonetheless, the Special Defense boost Ogerpon-W gains when Terastallizing can be useful in a few scenarios, such as surviving Choice Specs Walking Wake's Draco Meteor and Gholdengo's Nasty Plot-boosted Shadow Ball after Stealth Rock. The lack of a Grass typing also allows it to match up more favorably against Pokemon such as Weavile, Volcarona, Iron Moth, and Heatran. The damage increase provided by Tera Water can also be useful, allowing Ogerpon-W to 2HKO Skarmory and Corviknight with Ivy Cudgel after Stealth Rock.

Ogerpon-W thrives on bulky offense teams. It synergizes well with other pivoting Pokemon. Landorus-T appreciates Ogerpon-W's ability to handle opposing Water-types such as Primarina while providing Ogerpon-W with Stealth Rock and Intimidate support. Landorus-T can also check Roaring Moon and Raging Bolt, which are difficult matchups for Ogerpon-W. Galarian Slowking benefits from Ogerpon-W's presence to deal with Ground-types such as Iron Treads and Gliscor as well as strong Water-types that can otherwise overwhelm it such as Walking Wake. In turn, Galarian Slowking can support Ogerpon-W via Future Sight and status spreading with Thunder Wave or Toxic, which are useful to wear down and cripple checks such as Dragonite and Raging Bolt. Galarian Slowking also checks key Grass- and Dragon-types such as Serperior and Kyurem, which Ogerpon-W appreciates. Since Ogerpon-W is great at luring and breaking down the opponent's physical walls with Taunt or Encore, partners such as Kingambit, Weavile, and Roaring Moon can take advantage of the holes Ogerpon-W puts into walls such as Skarmory, Dondozo, and Gliscor to sweep more easily. Entry hazard support helps wear down many of Ogerpon-W's checks such as Raging Bolt and Serperior, so setters such as Great Tusk, Deoxys-S, and Ting-Lu are recommended teammates. As Ogerpon-W cannot hold Heavy-Duty Boots, it is quite vulnerable to entry hazard damage over time; hazard removal or prevention support from Great Tusk, Iron Treads, Hatterene, or Cinderace is thus appreciated. Ogerpon-W is good at luring several Pokemon such as Serperior, Rillaboom, Kyurem, Raging Bolt, and Dragonite, which it can safely pivot out of with U-turn; Kyurem and Dragapult can take advantage of Rillaboom, Raging Bolt, and Serprior, while Air Balloon Kingambit and Gholdengo do well against Kyurem and Dragonite. Additionally, Dragapult in particular can support Ogerpon-W further by spreading status.

Ogerpon-W is a fantastic pivot thanks to its combination of high speed, power, and utility. It can outspeed and threaten out many key threats such as Great Tusk, Landorus-T, and Gliscor with its powerful Ivy Cudgel. add gaining momentum on the forced switches, u-turn being the second slash here would flow well but we'll have to discuss that with the other qc members. Horn Leech complements Ivy Cudgel, hitting bulky Water-types such as? for super effective damage and recovering HP, which is useful for mitigating entry hazard damage. Taunt prevents Pokemon such as Ting-Lu or Great Tusk from setting up entry hazards, as well as recovery and setup attempts from Pokemon such as Skarmory or Corviknight, which is useful in wearing them down over time. Alternatively, Encore can be used to punish various setup from various Pokemon such as Kingambit, Raging Bolt, and Manaphy. Encore also disrupts walls and Manaphy isn't too relevant. Spikes is another worthwhile consideration, as Ogerpon-W can find many opportunities to lay Spikes due to the switches it forces and has good match-ups into various hazard removers such as Great Tusk and Iron Treads. Add how Spikes synergizes with U-turn, bringing in answers to take uturn + spikes only to force them out with another threat. U-turn allows Ogerpon-W to pivot out of bad match-ups, while also dealing high damage to many Grass-Types that may want to switch into it such as Rillaboom, Serperior, and Hydrapple. I think Moon might be worth mentioning but the list already has 3 mons so up to you. Ogerpon-W is typically a poor Terastallization candidate, as it is filling a supportive role and its Tera type is telegraphed. It's good, not as good as an sd pon but water cudgel still hurts and spdef boost is still very good for emergency checking stuff like val. Nonetheless, the Special Defense boost Ogerpon-W gains when Terastallizing can be useful in a few scenarios, such as surviving Choice Specs Walking Wake's Draco Meteor and Gholdengo's Nasty Plot boosted Shadow Ball after Stealth Rock. The damage increase provided by Tera Water can also be useful, allowing Ogerpon-W to 2HKO Skarmory and Corviknight with Ivy Cudgel after Stealth Rock.

Ogerpon-W thrives on bulky and hyper offense teams. Hyper Offense prefers SD. It synergizes well with other pivoting Pokemon. Landorus-T appreciates Ogerpon-W's ability to handle opposing Water-Ttypes such as Manaphy and Primarina, while providing Ogerpon-W's with Stealth Rock and Intimidate support. I'd add checking Bolt and Moon. Zapdos benefits from Ogerpon-W's ability to smash Ground-Ttypes such as Gliscor and and Iron Treads. In turn, it can support Ogerpon-W via Thunder Wave and checking opposing Grass-Ttypes such as Rillaboom. I think Zapdos is too niche to be mentioned especially because it isn't an especially amazing partner. Galarian Slowking also benefits from Ogerpon-W's presence in order to deal with Ground-Ttypes and can support Ogerpon-W itself via Future Sight and status support, add Pokemon Future Sight breaks and Pokemon Glowking can force status on that Ogerpon benefits from. as well as by checking key Grass- and Dragon-types such as Serperior and Kyurem. Dragapult can similarly support Ogerpon-W with status and does well vs opposing Dragons such as Raging Bolt and Roaring Moon. Ogerpon-W is great at luring and breaking down the opponent's physical walls. Partners such as Kingambit, Iron Boulder, and Roaring Moon can take advantage of the holes Ogerpon-W puts into walls such as Skarmory, Dondozo, and Gliscor to sweep more easily. Entry hazard support helps wear down many of Ogerpon-W's checks such as Raging Bolt and Serperior, so Stealth Rock setters such as Iron Treads, Great Tusk, and Glimmora, as well as Spikes setters such as Deoxys-S, Garchomp, and Ting-Lu are recommended teammates. Rain support from Pelipper can also be beneficial, as it drastically increases Ogerpon-W's damage output, allowing it to 2HKO Serperior, Corviknight, and Skarmory with Ivy Cudgel. As Ogerpon-W cannot hold Heavy-Duty Boots, it is quite vulnerable to entry hazard damage over time. Hazard removal support from Great Tusk, Iron Treads, Hatterene, or Cinderace is thus appreciated. Iron Treads in particular is a fantastic teammate, as it does well against, Raging Bolt.

Add Pokemon that appreciate U-turns on Ogerpons checks to bring them in.

(Move this after the U-turn point so you're talking about moves on the set first then moves not on the set after. You can add 'Spikes can be run over Taunt or Encore' for clairty with that, or just put U-turn as move 3 on the set (and fix ordering that changes) instead) U-turn allows Ogerpon-W to pivot out of bad match-ups, while also dealing high damage to many Grass-types that may want to switch into it such as Rillaboom, Serperior, and Hydrapple, as well as Roaring Moon.

In turn, it can support Ogerpon-W via Thunder Wave and checking opposing Grass-types such as Rillaboom. (Zapdos isn't relevant enough for its own point) Galarian Slowking also benefits from Ogerpon-W's presence in order to deal with Ground-types and can support Ogerpon-W itself via Future Sight, which is useful to wear down checks such as Dragonite, and Thunder Wave or Toxic support to cripple Roaring Moon and Raging Bolt.

(Iron Boulder is a HO pick, and running U-turn pivots on HO doesn't synergise) Entry hazard support helps wear down many of Ogerpon-W's checks such as Raging Bolt and Serperior, so Stealth Rock setters such as Iron Treads, Great Tusk, and Glimmora, as well as Spikes setters such as Deoxys-S, Garchomp, and Ting-Lu are recommended teammates. (Glimm and Treads are also HO picks; you can just combine this point to be 'entry hazard setters' with the remaining examples. Garchomp can probably be cut too because it's not relevant) Rain support from Pelipper can also be beneficial, as it drastically increases Ogerpon-W's damage output, allowing it to 2HKO Serperior, Corviknight, and Skarmory with Ivy Cudgel. (On rain you'd more likely want the SD set instead of the pivot set that forces you out into frail teammates) As Ogerpon-W cannot hold Heavy-Duty Boots, it is quite vulnerable to entry hazard damage over time. Hazard removal support from Great Tusk, Iron Treads, Hatterene, or Cinderace is thus appreciated. Iron Treads in particular is a fantastic teammate, as it does well against, Raging Bolt. (Treads doesn't really need its own point here; it's probably fine as a mention for removal because otehr removal is dire. I'd also move this point up before talking about hazard setters; removal is big for this set otehrwise pivots like Meow and Pult outclass it) Ogerpon-W is good at luring several Pokemon such as Serperior, Rillaboom, Kyurem, Raging Bolt, and Dragonite, which it can safely pivot out of with U-turn. Kyurem and Dragapult can take advantage of Rillaboom, Raging Bolt, and Serprior, which (do you mean while?) Air Balloon Kingambit and Gholdengo do well against Kyurem and Dragonite.

Ogerpon-W is a fantastic pivot thanks to its combination of high Speed speed, power, and utility. It can outspeed and threaten out many key threats such as Great Tusk, Landorus-T, and Gliscor (not wrong but i'd replace landot with another non-ground mon instead for variety sake, heatran is fine) its powerful Ivy Cudgel, which it can capitalize on to gain momentum with U-turn. Horn Leech complements Ivy Cudgel, hitting bulky Water-types such as Alomomola and Primarina for super effective damage and recovering HP, which is useful for mitigating entry hazard damage. Taunt prevents Pokemon such as Ting-Lu or Great Tusk from setting up entry hazards, (rc) as well as recovery and or setup attempts from Pokemon such as Skarmory or Corviknight (i'd add dnite too for taunt mentions, otherwise it just DDs in your face for free and you cant really encore it the first time), which is useful in wearing them down over time. Alternatively, Encore can be used to punish various setup from various Pokemon such as (listing faster setup sweepers like IDBP zama or DD roaring moon so they dont use u as setup fodder is prob good too cause taunt is kinda meh against them since they still get that 1 free turn) Kingambit, Raging Bolt, and Garganacl, (rc) while similarly disrupting walls such as Corviknight and Dondozo. (dont wanna stay in + mono water sets cant touch you, i'd replace it with skarm instead) U-turn allows Ogerpon-W to pivot out of bad matchups (such as?) , (rc) while also dealing high damage to Roaring Moon and many Grass-types that may want to switch into it such as Rillaboom, Serperior, and Hydrapple, (rc) as well as Roaring Moon. Spikes can be run over Taunt or Encore, as Ogerpon-W can find many opportunities to lay Spikes due to the switches it forces and has good match-ups into against various hazard removers such as Great Tusk and Iron Treads. Spikes synergizes well with U-turn, as their combined chip damage will wear down many of Ogerpon-W's switch-ins (such as?) over time. (mention the defensive utility of water absorb here) Ogerpon-W is an average Terastallization candidate, as it is filling a supportive role and its Tera type is telegraphed. Nonetheless, the Special Defense boost Ogerpon-W gains when Terastallizing can be useful in a few scenarios, such as surviving Choice Specs Walking Wake's Draco Meteor and Gholdengo's Nasty Plot-boosted (hyphen) Shadow Ball after Stealth Rock. (add how the lack of grass typing means you can now check stuff like volc, weavile, moth, and heatran decently well too) The damage increase provided by Tera Water can also be useful, allowing Ogerpon-W to 2HKO Skarmory and Corviknight with Ivy Cudgel after Stealth Rock.

Ogerpon-W thrives on bulky offense teams. It synergizes well with other pivoting Pokemon. Landorus-T appreciates Ogerpon-W's ability to handle opposing Water-types such as Primarina, (rc) while providing Ogerpon-W with Stealth Rock and Intimidate support.

Ogerpon-W is a fantastic pivot thanks to its combination of high Speed, power, and utility. It can outspeed and threaten out many key threats such as Great Tusk, Heatran, and Gliscor with its powerful Ivy Cudgel, which it can capitalize on to gain momentum with U-turn. Horn Leech complements Ivy Cudgel, hitting bulky Water-types such as Alomomola and Primarina for super effective damage and recovering HP, which is useful for mitigating entry hazard damage. U-turn allows Ogerpon-W to pivot out of bad matchups against Kyurem and Dragonite while also dealing high damage to Roaring Moon and many Grass-types that may want to switch into it, (ac) such as Rillaboom, Serperior, and Hydrapple. Taunt prevents Pokemon such as Clefable and Tera Grass Heatran Ting-Lu or Great Tusk (neither of them generally want to stay in front of u and click their hazards) from setting up entry hazards or using status as well as stopping recovery or setup attempts from Pokemon such as Skarmory, Dragonite, or Corviknight, which is useful in wearing them down over time. Alternatively, Encore can be used to punish setup from various Pokemon such as Kingambit, Zamazenta, and Garganacl while similarly disrupting walls such as Corviknight and Skarmory. Spikes can be run over Taunt or Encore, as Ogerpon-W can find many opportunities to lay Spikes due to the switches it forces and has good match-ups against various hazard removers such as Great Tusk and Iron Treads. Spikes synergizes well with U-turn, as their combined chip damage will wear down many of Ogerpon-W's switch-ins such as Roaring Moon Tera Dragon Skarmory (moon doesnt want to switch in repeatedly into stuff, especially booster sets. plus it gets chunked by uturn anyways) and Raging Bolt over time. Water Absorb allows Ogerpon-W to more safely pivot switch into opposing Water-types such as Primarina, Hisuian Samurott, and Alomomola. It Alomomola, (ac) (i'd replace one of them with barra, cause waterpon in general is very annoying for rain) notably makes making it riskier for these Pokemon to gain momentum with use Flip Turn. Ogerpon-W is an average Terastallization candidate, as it is filling a supportive role and its Tera type is telegraphed. Nonetheless, the Special Defense boost Ogerpon-W gains when Terastallizing can be useful in a few scenarios, such as surviving Choice Specs Walking Wake's Draco Meteor and Gholdengo's Nasty Plot-boosted (hyphen) Shadow Ball after Stealth Rock. Terastallizing also removes Ogerpon-W's weakness to Bug- and Poison-type attacks, as well as grants it resistances to Ice- and Fire-type moves, allowing (way too dex info-y with the type chart interaction) The lack of a Grass typing also allows it to match up more favorably against Pokemon such as Weavile, Cinderace, Iron Moth, and Heatran. (ace can still be annoying with wisp, prob remove it or replace it w something else; non-giga drain volcarona is a good shout) The damage increase provided by Tera Water can also be useful, allowing Ogerpon-W to 2HKO Skarmory and Corviknight with Ivy Cudgel after Stealth Rock.

Ogerpon-W thrives on bulky offense teams. It synergizes well with other pivoting Pokemon. Landorus-T appreciates Ogerpon-W's ability to handle opposing Water-types such as Primarina while providing Ogerpon-W with Stealth Rock and Intimidate support. Landorus-T can also check Roaring Moon and Raging Bolt, which are difficult matchups for Ogerpon-W. Galarian Slowking benefits from Ogerpon-W's presence to deal with Ground-types such as Iron Treads and Gliscor, (rc) as well as strong Water-types that can otherwise overwhelm it such as Walking Wake. In turn, Galarian Slowking can support Ogerpon-W via Future Sight and status spreading with Thunder Wave or Toxic, which is are useful to wear down and cripple checks such as Dragonite, and Thunder Wave or Toxic support to cripple Roaring Moon Dragonite and Raging Bolt. (combined both since fsight is also good into raging bolt & status is good into dnite. also removed moon cause it's harder to click status into it since u'll get OHKOed or it can just uturn out) Galarian Slowking also checks key Grass- and Dragon-types such as Serperior and Kyurem, which Ogerpon-W appreciates.

Taunt prevents Pokemon such as Ting-Lu or Great Tusk from setting up entry hazards, (rc) as well as recovery and or setup attempts from Pokemon such as Skarmory or Corviknight (i'd add dnite too for taunt mentions, otherwise it just DDs in your face for free and you cant really encore it the first time), which is useful in wearing them down over time. Alternatively, Encore can be used to punish various setup from various Pokemon such as (listing faster setup sweepers like IDBP zama or DD roaring moon so they dont use u as setup fodder is prob good too cause taunt is kinda meh against them since they still get that 1 free turn) Kingambit, Raging Bolt, and Garganacl, (rc) while similarly disrupting walls such as Corviknight and Dondozo. (dont wanna stay in + mono water sets cant touch you, i'd replace it with skarm instead) U-turn allows Ogerpon-W to pivot out of bad matchups (such as?) , (rc) while also dealing high damage to Roaring Moon and many Grass-types that may want to switch into it such as Rillaboom, Serperior, and Hydrapple, (rc) as well as Roaring Moon.
