[SET COMMENTS]

* Ogerpon-C is arguably the best Sturdy Pokemon in the metagame, functioning like a great Focus Sash lead without conflicting with Item Clause.

* **Horn Leech**: While it has stronger Grass-type STAB moves, Horn Leech's recovery can bring Ogerpon-C back to full health while taking advantage of Sturdy.

* **Knock Off**: This is Ogerpon-C's best option against Gholdengo.

* **Quick Attack**: While weak, Quick Attack gives Ogerpon-C the edge against Focus Sash foes with priority such as Urshifu-R and speedy Focus Sash users like Iron Bundle.

* **Swords Dance and Encore**: Swords Dance gives Ogerpon-C more use in late-game situations, with Sturdy making Swords Dance easy to use provided hazards have not been set up. Encore aids this even further, though at the cost of no longer covering Gholdengo with Knock Off.

* **Rock Tomb**: Dropping a foe's Speed with Rock Tomb can be a useful and unexpected way to revenge kill them after Ogerpon-C is KOed and prevents Terastallized Dragon Dance foes like Dragonite and Baxcalibur from setting up easily.

Alternate EV Spreads
========

* **252 HP / 124 Atk / 68 Def / 4 SpD / 60 Spe with Adamant**: This bulkier spread allows Ogerpon-C to survive Jolly Punching Glove Urshifu-R's Tera Water Surging Strikes and outspeeds Iron Bundle after Rock Tomb's Speed drop. It also naturally outspeeds Jolly Breloom.

Other Options
========

* **Trailblaze**: Ogerpon-C is not nearly as effective at sweeping with Trailblaze as Ogerpon-H, but it's still a potential win condition that can work well with Sturdy due to ease of setup.

* **Leech Seed**: While Rock is not a good defensive typing, both Sturdy and Embody Aspect can make good use of Leech Seed's recovery.

Embody Aspect
========

Ogerpon-C is locked into a Rock Tera type, with the bonus of getting a Defense boost via Embody Aspect. While the Defense boost can be useful, note that Ogerpon-C loses Sturdy, which ironically can make it easier to OHKO! If needing the Defense boost, it's usually best to do this if Ogerpon-C is not at full health or needs a boosted Ivy Cudgel to KO a threat.

This looks good!
I would say Leech Seed is worth a mention in other options, it makes a decent pairing with Sturdy, and being one of the more defensively inclined forms, cornerstone makes pretty good use of it.

Brought up Leech Seed, and a bulkier EV spread since you brought that up on Discord.

This is now ready for a grammar check! GP Team

Thanks a lot for the check, and yes I was referring to Trailblaze itself being the win condition.

Time to finally crave this onsite!
