Swords Dance (Ogerpon) (F) @ Meadow Plate
Ability: Defiant
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Ivy Cudgel
- Superpower
- Knock Off

[SET DETAILS]
Ogerpon, similar to its masked counterparts, occupies a niche as a Swords Dance wallbreaker and sweeper, but with a few tricks up its sleeve. Ogerpon’s unique Speed boost upon Terastallizing and ability to hold an item give it more potential to clean through a weakened team while outrunning common revenge killers such as Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and Kartana. However, Ogerpon faces stiff competition from other offensive Grass-types such as Rillaboom and Kartana, as well as the other Ogerpon formes that possess a beneficial dual typing and an automatic 1.2x boost to their attacks. Superpower allows Ogerpon to wreak havoc on defensive cores using Ferrothorn and Heatran as Grass-type switch-ins, scoring a clean OHKO on Heatran and heavily denting physically defensive Ferrothorn after a Swords Dance. Meadow Plate is the item of choice, OHKOing Gliscor after Swords Dance with Stealth Rock chip, as well as potentially OHKOing Toxapex after Tera Grass and Swords Dance. Knock Off is Ogerpon's strongest option to hit Tornadus-T, Moltres, Zapdos, and Galarian Slowking. Additionally, Defiant leverages Landorus-T's Intimidate against it; however, its poor matchup versus Defog users such as Zapdos, Tornadus-T, and Corviknight render it unable to effectively switch in on Defog attempts and activate Defiant. Teammates that match up effectively into these aforementioned Defog users, such as Ting Lu, Mega Tyranitar, and Gliscor, serve as quality teammates, with Mega Tyranitar in particular being able to chip these foes into range of Ogerpon's attacks. Skarmory and Corviknight are also major roadblocks for Ogerpon, so teammates that can switch into them and force progress like Zapdos and Heatran make for effective teammates.

[SET DETAILS]
Ogerpon, similar to its masked counterparts, occupies a niche as a Swords Dance wallbreaker and sweeper, but has a few tricks up its sleeve. Ogerpon’s unique Speed boost upon Terastalizing and ability to hold an item give it higher potential to clean through a weakened team while outrunning common revenge killers such as Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and Choice Scarf Kartana. Superpower allows Ogerpon to wreak havoc among defensive cores using Ferrothorn and Heatran as Grass-resistances, scoring a clean OHKO on Heatran and heavily denting physically defensive Ferrothorn. Knock Off allows Ogerpon to usually OHKO defensive Gholdengo from full, as well as being its strongest option into Zapdos, Tornadus-T, and Moltres, potentially removing their Heavy-Duty Boots during the process. Meadow Plate is the item of choice, giving Ogerpon the ability to KO Gliscor after a Swords Dance with minimal chip, and gifts it potential odds to OHKO Toxapex after Tera Grass and Swords Dance. Additionally, Defiant gives Ogerpon a very desirable trait for a physical sweeper, being able to leverage Landorus-T's Intimidate against it, however, its poor matchup vs Defog users such as Zapdos, Moltres, and Tornadus-T render it unable to effectively switch in on Defog attempts and proc Defiant. Teammates who match up effectively into these aforementioned Defog users, such as Ting Lu, Mega Tyranitar somewhere i'd emphasize how useful ttar is because of access to pursuit for wearing down these checks to ogerpon, and Gliscor serve as quality teammates. Skarmory is another major roadblock for Ogerpon, so teammates that can switch into it and force progress like Zapdos and Gholdengo make for effective teammates. mention that Ogerpon's lack of a dual typing means it is generally worse off that the other forms, and that it has issues finding setup opportunities thanks to its middling bulk and poor defensive typing. Also mention how it competes heavily with other grasses types specifically like the aforementioned other ogerpon formes + kartana.

GP 1/1! Please credit hidin as well.

the re-writing of the first two sentences was largely unnecessary, they were already correct as-is
forms -> formes
resists / resistances should not be used as a noun. "Ferrothorn is a Grass resist" bad, "Pokemon that resist Grass like Ferrothron" good
"vs" should be spelled out
"who" should not be used to refer to pokemon. usually can be replaced with "which" or "that"
If a "such as" phrase starts with a comma, it needs to end with a comma as well




GP Team done
