Ogerpon-Wellspring (F) @ Wellspring Mask

Jolly Nature

- Ivy Cudgel
- Play Rough / Superpower / Taunt / Knock Off

[SET COMMENTS]
Ogerpon-W is a strong wallbreaker on Water teams by virtue of its great Attack, which can be further boosted by Swords Dance; great Speed; a unique resistance to Ground, improving that matchup; and a selection of coverage options it can choose from. Horn Leech not only lets Ogerpon-W recover HP, but it also targets the likes of Urshifu-R, Slowbro, and Mantine, which can otherwise shrug off an Ivy Cudgel. At +2, Play Rough targets Dragon- and Fighting-types such as Kyurem, Kommo-o, and Iron Hands. After a Swords Dance boost, Superpower is great against Steel-types like Hisuian Goodra, Archaludon, and Ferrothorn; unboosted, it also OHKOes Kyurem after Stealth Rock chip. Taunt shuts down passive walls such as Toxapex, Gastrodon, and Thunder Wave Archaludon to force them out and get the opportunity to set up, while after a boost, Knock Off targets Sinistcha. Swampert provides entry hazard support to help Ogerpon-W wallbreak and pivoting with Flip Turn; its Electric immunity improves the matchup against the type, handling the likes of Zeraora, Iron Hands, and Regieleki. Empoleon and Pelipper remove hazards in Defog so that Ogerpon-W does not get worn down. Additionally, Empoleon threatens Fairy-types such as Tapu Lele and Alolan Ninetales, as well as Tornadus-T and Kyurem, while Pelipper sets up rain to boost Ogerpon-W's Ivy Cudgel, handles Grass-types like Meowscarada and Mega Venusaur, and brings it in safely with U-turn. In return, Empoleon appreciates Ogerpon-W handling Ground-types such as Great Tusk and the Landorus formes, while Pelipper appreciates the removal of Hisuian Arcanine, the Landorus formes, and Gholdengo. Choice Scarf Tapu Fini, with its amazing bulk, handles fast Fighting- and Dragon-types like Iron Valiant, Mega Lopunny, and Dragon Dance Roaring Moon and can shift its Choice Scarf to walls like Toxapex and Clodsire with Trick so Ogerpon-W can handle them more easily. Choice Specs Greninja, with its colorful coverage boosted by Protean, handles a multitude of threats like opposing Ogerpon-W, Tapu Bulu, and Mega Venusaur. When paired with Pelipper, Ogerpon-W's wallbreaking opens up the door for rain-boosted sweepers and cleaners such as Mega Swampert and Barraskewda.

Ogerpon-W is a strong wallbreaker on Water teams by virtue of its great Attack stat which can be further boosted by Swords Dance as well as a selection of coverage options it can choose from (maybe highlight its speed and coverage and ground resistance-traits that water teams dont usually have). Horn Leech is STAB that not only lets it recover HP, but it also targets the likes of Toxapex, Urshifu-R, and Water Absorb Clodsire (Urshifu-R and Slowbro and Mantine [the latter are annoying for Water] yeees, but Toxapex and WA Clod dont really falter vs leech. You can mention using Power Whip if they really want those two in particular dead tho [dont put PWhip on the main set]) that can shrug off an Ivy Cudgel. Play Rough targets Dragon- and Fighting-types such as Kyurem, Kommo-o, and Breloom. Superpower is great against Steel-types like Ferrothorn, Hisuian Goodra, and Archaludon (At +2, you OHKO Ferrothorn, which is pretty cool all things said and it kills Kyu after rocks if unboosted). Taunt shuts down passive walls such as Toxapex, Gastrodon, and Blissey (Thunder Wave Archaludon?) to force them out and get the opportunity to set up. Knock Off targets Psychic- and Ghost-types such as Celebi (usually carries a Z-move), Galarian Slowking, and Sinistcha, as well as remove items from their holders. Swampert provides entry hazard support to help Ogerpon-W wallbreak and pivoting with Flip Turn; and its Electric immunity improves the matchup against the type, handling the likes of Zeraora, Iron Hands, and Regieleki. Empoleon and Pelipper remove hazards in Defog so that Ogerpon-W does not get worn down. Additionally, Empoleon threatens Fairy-types such as Tapu Lele and Alolan Ninetales (and stinkies like FDry Kyurem/Torn-T too), while Pelipper sets up rain to boost Ogerpon-W's Ivy Cudgel and handles Grass-types like Breloom and Mega Venusaur. In return, Empoleon appreciates Ogerpon-W handling Ground-types such as Great Tusk and the Landorus formes, while Pelipper appreciates the removal of Rock-types like Hisuian Arcanine and Mega Diancie (speedtie, can be Victini, Lando/Thundo, Gholdengo). Choice Scarf Tapu Fini, with its amazing bulk, handles fast Fighting- and Dragon-types like Iron Valiant, Mega Lopunny Choice Scarf Hydreigon, and Dragon Dance Roaring Moon and can shift its Choice Scarf to walls like Toxapex and Clodsire so Ogerpon-W can handle them more easily.
