[SET DETAILS]
Ogerpon, similar to its masked counterparts, occupies a niche as a Swords Dance wallbreaker and sweeper, but
has with a few tricks up its sleeve. Ogerpon’s unique Speed boost upon
Terastalizing Terastallizing and ability to hold an item give it
higher more potential to clean through a weakened team while outrunning common revenge killers such as Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and
Choice Scarf Kartana. However, Ogerpon faces stiff competition from other offensive Grass-types such as Rillaboom and
Kartana along with other Ogerpon forms who also possess beneficial dual-typings Kartana, as well as the other Ogerpon formes that possess a beneficial dual typing. Superpower allows Ogerpon to wreak havoc
among on defensive cores using Ferrothorn and Heatran as
Grass-resistances Grass-type switch-ins, 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. trusting hidin that this is outdated, not actually a GP note Meadow Plate is the item of choice,
giving Ogerpon the ability to KO OHKOing Gliscor after
a Swords Dance with minimal chip
can you be more specific, like "after Stealth Rock"?, and gifts it potential odds to and potentially OHKO
ing Toxapex after Tera Grass and Swords Dance. Additionally, Defiant
gives Ogerpon a very desirable trait for a physical sweeper, being able to leverage leverages Landorus-T's Intimidate against
it, however, it; however, its poor matchup
vs versus Defog users such as Zapdos, Moltres, and Tornadus-T render it unable to effectively switch in on Defog attempts and
proc activate Defiant. Teammates
who that match up effectively into these aforementioned Defog users, such as Ting Lu, Mega Tyranitar, and Gliscor
, comma serve as quality teammates, with Mega Tyranitar in particular being able to chip these foes down with Pursuit into
Ogerpon's range range of Ogerpon's attacks. 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.
