[SET COMMENTS]
Ogerpon-W can utilize the explosive power boost gifted to it by Swords Dance to become truly unwallable, with its primary STAB combination lacking proper answers. Acting as an absurdly powerful wallbreaker, Ogerpon-W’s is able to keep many walls in check due to its sheer power, as it can easily take advantage of the passive nature of most of these walls, including the likes of Alomomola, Dondozo, and Ting-Lu, to freely set up with Swords Dance. Ogerpon-W is notably also one of the few physical attackers that doesn’t mind Moltres. It also acts as one of the few checks for Gliscor in the tier, being able to exploit Gliscor’s tendency to spam Protect to set up. On paper, regular Dragon-types may come in as checks; however, Ogerpon-W has properly adapted its arsenal for them by using Play Rough to hit foes like Dragonite and Walking Wake. Ogerpon-W may also run the uncommon but sweep-starting Trailblaze to get the jump on otherwise faster Pokemon such as Dragapult, Darkrai, Zamazenta, and some Choice Scarf users like Enamorus and Gholdengo. It is also commonly found wielding Knock Off to remove Heavy-Duty Boots from foes such as Zapdos, Pecharunt, Dragonite, and Kyurem, as well to threaten Ghost-types like Dragapult, Sinistcha, and Gholdengo. Synthesis may also be used to gain a consistent form of recovery and to utilize Ogerpon-W’s nature to frequently force switches. Encore isn’t common, though is usable, being able to take full advantage of passive walls to set up Swords Dance and threaten absurd damage while also punishing Kingambit’s Sucker Punch or Raging Bolt’s Thunderclap. Horn Leech is also notable: it’s not as powerful as Power Whip but does provide a form of longevity outside of Synthesis.

Despite the fact that Ogerpon-W is locked into Tera Water, it still makes incredible use of it by making quick work of everything that doesn’t resist Ivy Cudgel, and even at that, many Water-resistant foes still struggle to tank it. Notably, +2 Attack Tera Water Ivy Cudgel always OHKOs Pokemon like Zapdos. The Special Defense boost warranted by Embody Aspect also helps in handling some Darkrai sets and special attacking Iron Valiant while also being able to take one Freeze-Dry from even Choice Specs Kyurem. Shedding its Grass typing also allows Ogerpon-W to take Sludge Wave from Iron Moth and Sludge Bomb from the likes of Galarian Slowking and Darkrai more comfortably. An Adamant nature is still very much usable: while Ogerpon-W losing out on a good chunk of its Speed for more power usually isn’t ideal, it’s definitely noteworthy. For example, +2 Attack Adamant Tera Water Ivy Cudgel always OHKOs Galarian Weezing, which otherwise may come off as a problem for it being able to burn Ogerpon-W while also OHKOing Corviknight after rocks. However, the Speed drop is noticeable, as Ogerpon-W is no longer able to outspeed Pokemon like Enamorous, Iron Crown, and Iron Treads.

Ogerpon-W finds itself commonly used on hyper offense, bulky offense, and sometimes even balance-oriented playstyles. On most teams, it has great synergy with special attacking Iron Valiant and Raging Bolt: remove space before colon it deals with special walls like Clodsire and Blissey that might trouble them, as well as Assault Vest Alomomola in the case of Iron Valiant. Iron Valiant, in turn, deals with Pokemon that can outspeed and revenge kill Ogerpon-W for it like Zamazenta, Choice Band Weavile, and Darkrai, while Raging Bolt returns the favor by dealing with Zapdos. Common Pokemon used as cleaners, such as Enamorous and Darkrai, also highly appreciate Ogerpon-W's presence, as it’s able to enable them for late-game cleaning. If Swords Dance hasn’t already ended the game, Ogerpon-W itself is often used as a late-game cleaner. Swords Dance also allows it to efficiently cover for teams with poor stall matchups, often on its own, by applying great pressure due to its positive matchup against common Pokemon such as Gliscor, Dondozo, and Blissey. On a similar note, Ogerpon-W also appreciates hazards being up on the opponent’s side, so Pokemon like Hisuian Samurott, Ting-Lu, and Deoxys-S help it out by letting Ogerpon-W OHKO Kingambit with a +2 Attack Ivy Cudgel after 1 layer of Spikes or OHKO Raging Bolt with a +2 Play Rough. I feel like I should remove "on a similar note" here as it only implies that Knock + hazards breaks stall in this context

Ogerpon-W itself doesn’t have many direct counters; however, particular Pokemon like Kyurem can take an unboosted Play Rough and OHKO a non-Terastallized Ogerpon-W with Freeze-Dry. Because of this, Ogerpon-W likes having partners like Galarian Slowking and Tinkaton that can chip Kyurem down a little while being able to take a few hits from it. Galarian Slowking can provide safe pivots, while Tinkaton can set up Stealth Rock and threaten massive damage onto Kyurem with Gigaton Hammer. In return, Ogerpon-W helps by dealing with problematic Ground-types like Ting-Lu, Great Tusk, Gliscor, and Iron Treads. Raging Bolt may be a nuisance against Ogerpon-W lacking Play Rough, so once again, Great Tusk comes in as a great partner. Likewise, Dragonite is quite troublesome for Ogerpon-W lacking Play Rough: if Dragonite is running an unfavorable Tera type, then teammates like Zapdos are quite helpful. Ogerpon-W, when paired with Zamazenta and Dragonite, overwhelm shared checks like Pecharunt, Zapdos, and Galarian Weezing. Amoongus notably has a niche in OU for being able to wall Ogerpon-W effectively, so partners like Moltres, Kyurem, and Gholdengo lend a hand in breaking it. Pecharunt can also wall Ogerpon-W, as it can reliably stomach hits from even +2 Attack Ivy Cudgel, paired with the presence of Sinistcha also being unignorable by Ogerpon-W, partners such as Gholdengo, Darkrai, and Kingambit show themselves to be very beneficial. Dragapult can easily burn Ogerpon-W or chip it down with U-turn; though Kingambit also hates being burnt, it still very much helps against Dragapult. Ogerpon-W returns the favor by removing Kingambit’s checks like Dondozo, Great Tusk, and Moltres. Ogerpon-W by no means is bulky; thus, it highly appreciates being able to be safely brought onto the field, so partners like Galarian Slowking, Landorus-T, and Cinderace are extremely useful, with Ogerpon-W being able to threaten Pokemon that threaten them like Great Tusk or Gliscor. Ogerpon-W generally prospers in the absence of entry hazards, as it’s vulnerable to chip damage. Hazard removers such as Great Tusk really come in handy here, for which Ogerpon-W in turn helps by dealing with bulky Water-types like Alomomola and Dondozo.

Let me know once you implement it so I can go over it again. Try to make the information more concise, please. It reads mostly fine and mentions like its positive matchup against Gliscor and Moltres are great. But a bit of the pieces arent clear for users unless they are familiar with Ogerpon-W and the meta. Rather than only saying Trailblaze lets you outspeed faster / choice scarf Pokemon, mention which Pokemon. Ty again!

Ogerpon-W can utilize the explosive power boost gifted to it by Swords Dance to become truly unwallable, with its primary STAB combination of Ivy Cudgel and Power Whip, though at times may be substituted for Horn Leech, lacking proper switch ins. Acting as an absurdly powerful wallbreaker Ogerpon-W’s able to keep many walls and disruptive support Pokémon in check due to it’s sheer breaking power, which may include but not limited to Alomomola, Dondozo and Clodsire. Ogerpon-W can easily take advantage of the passive nature of most of these walls to freely set up Swords Dance to claim its eventual prey. Ogerpon-W’s notably also one of the few physical attackers which don’t mind Moltres. Ogerpon-W also acts as one of the few checks for Gliscor in the tier, being able to properly abuse Gliscor’s nature to spam Protect to set up with Swords Dance compared to it’s other sets. (This is a lot of text for the introduction, specially since you have to cover several moves. Please try to rewrite this to make it less lengthy. All the info is fine, just gotta make it shorter if possible) Ogerpon-W for it’s Grass STAB may pick between Power Whip and Horn Leech, with Power Whip being the far stronger (Its important to highlight Power Whip's draws rather than its flaws. Here you can mention that it threatens OHKOs on opposing Ogerpon-W and Great Tusk) though inaccurate option whereas Horn Leech is more consistent while provided a good amount of increased longevity by keeping Ogerpon-W healthy given it does sufficient damage to the opponent while using it. Power Whip is nearly unwallable by Pokémon which don’t resist it still making it more desirable however Horn Leech is still very notable. (You already mentioned this several times) On paper regular Dragon and Grass types may come in as checks however Ogerpon-W has properly adapted it’s arsenal for them using Play Rough to checkmate many of the numerous Dragon types in OU like Dragonite and Walking Wake. , while also commonly wielding Knock Off to be able to remove items from otherwise potentially problematic foes as well to threaten Ghost types like Gholdengo and some Dragapult sets. Notably Ogerpon-W may also run the uncommon but sweep starting Trailblaze to catapult it’s already high speed to get the jump on otherwhise faster Pokemon such as Dragapult, Darkrai, Zamazenta, and Choice Scarf Enamorus and Gholdengo. levels on rivaled by Choice Scarf wielders, though the also uncommon Synthesis may also be used to gain a more consistent form to gain longevity. (Mention Knock Off here. When mentioning "problematic Pokemon" make sure to list examples, such as Pecharunt or Zapdos) Despite the fact that Ogerpon-W is locked into the one sole Tera type of Water, it still makes incredible use of it by making quick work of everything which doesn’t resist Ivy Cudgel, and even at that, many resists still struggle to tank it often getting 2HKO’d, notably, +2 Attack Tera Water Ivy Cudgel OHKOs Pecharunt after minor chip, the best physical wall in the tier. (You dont OHKO physically defensive variants. Try other examples) The few which can handle the sheer power of Tera Water Ivy Cudgel’s are still bound to fall to Ogerpon-W’s Grass STAB or coverage, wether boosted or not. The Special Defense boost warranted by Embody Aspect also helps in handling some Darkrai sets and Special Attacking Iron Valiant while also being able to live one Freeze Dry from even Choice Specs Kyurem. (Another important aspect of Tera is losing your weakness to attacks such as Iron Moth's Sludge Wave, and Galarian Slowking, and Darkrai's Sludge Bomb)

Add an Adamant mention. Notably +2 Tera Water Ivy Cudgel always OHKOs Galarian Weezing with Adamant.

Ogerpon-W naturally being incredibly powerful, further so boosted by set up, finds itself commonly used on Hyper Offense, Bulky Offense and sometimes even Balance oriented playstyles. On Hyper Offense it usually requires a few mons to be a bit chipped down to attempt a sweep but even at that it performs incredibly well. (Flavor text) On most teams it can make some great synergy with Special Attacking Iron Valiant and Raging Bolt, with it dealing with the otherwise problematic Alomomola for it (I dont understand who "it" is here. Maybe you mean Assault Vest Alomomola is problematic for Iron Valiant? Thats okay but make sure to specificy it. Though that set is not annoying for Raging Bolt) while applying pressure onto common Special walls like Clodsire or Blissey. Mons Pokemon like Enamorous and Darkrai also highly appreciate it’s presence as it’s able to enable them a lot more effectively for late game clean ups, if the nature of Swords Dance hasn’t already led it to ending the game. (Why those in particular?) Swords Dance also allows it to efficiently cover up for teams with poor Stall matchups, often being able to deal with Stall on it’s own. Ogerpon-W in itself doesn’t have many direct counters however Pokémon like Kyurem can take an unboosted Play Rough and OHKO a non-Tera’d Ogerpon-W with Freeze Dry, with Kyurem itself not having many direct counters either proves itself to be incredibly problematic though partners like Corviknight and Slowking-Galar may prove to be useful, as well, depending on Kyurem’s set, even Tinkaton may come off as a massive help. (You are putting in a lot of information at once, trying to explain both its matchup against stall and Kyurem, please try to make them different points) Amoongus notably has a niche in OU for being able to wall Ogerpon-W really effectively, so partners like Moltres, Iron Crown, Corviknight, Gholdengo and to a lesser degree, Kyurem lend a hand in breaking it. Pecharunt may also prove to be quite the wall for Ogerpon-W to break past, with even a Tera Water +2 Attack Ivy Cudgel having a slim chance to OHKO, hence partners such as Gholdengo, Darkrai and Kingambit show themselves to be very beneficial for Ogerpon-W. Ogerpon-W by no means is bulky thus it a highly appreciated being able to be safely brought onto the field, so partners like Slowking-Galar and Alomomola are extremely useful. Ogerpon-W generally prospers in the absence of hazards as it’s vulnerable to chip damage so removers such as Great Tusk really come in handy here, for which Ogerpon-W in turn helps in dealing with bulky water types like Alomomola and Dondozo for. Raging Bolt may prove itself to be a nuisance against Ogerpon-W if it’s not carrying Play Rough, so once again, Great Tusk comes in as a great partner for that.

I hope this doesnt seem like a lot, most of the changes are pretty straightforward. Though I added a couple more potential partners after the second paragraph. Thank you very much, feel free to update to QC 1/2 after you implement the changes. Ty!

(Changing for Ting-Lu to keep it more OU related) Ogerpon-W can easily take advantage of the passive nature of most of these walls to freely set up Swords Dance. (I would remove this or try to include it in the prior sentence) Ogerpon-W’s notably also one of the few physical attackers which don’t mind Moltres. It also acts as one of the few checks for Gliscor in the tier, being able to properly abuse Gliscor’s nature to spam Protect to set up. Ogerpon-W for it’s Grass STAB may pick between Power Whip and Horn Leech, with Power Whip being the far stronger, being able to OHKO Great Tusk and other Ogerpon-W, though inaccurate option whereas Horn Leech is more consistent while provided a good amount of increased longevity by keeping Ogerpon-W healthy. given it does sufficient damage to the opponent while using it.

Ogerpon-W may also run the uncommon but sweep starting Trailblaze to, at the expense of its low base power, catapult it’s already high speed to near unrivaled levels to get the jump on otherwise faster Pokemon such as Dragapult, Darkrai, Zamazenta, and some Choice Scarfed Pokémon like Enamorus and Gholdengo. While also commonly found wielding Knock Off to be able to remove items from otherwise potentially Heavy-Duty Boots from problematic foes such as Zapdos, Pecharunt, Dragonite, and Kyurem, and Corviknight, as well to threaten Dragapult and Sinistcha. Ghost types like Gholdengo and some Dragapult sets. (Dragapult and Sinistcha are the big ones but feel free to include Gholdengo if you want to) Synthesis may also be used to gain a more consistent form to gain longevity. (A small Encore mention here would be great if you can add it but I understand its trickier. The idea is keeping Encore's utility while taking advantage of the free turns it grants to setup a Swords Dance) Despite the fact that Ogerpon-W is locked into the one sole Tera type of Water, it still makes incredible use of it by making quick work of everything which doesn’t resist Ivy Cudgel, and even at that, many resists still struggle to tank it often getting 2HKO’d, notably, +2 Attack Tera Water Ivy Cudgel always OHKOs Pokémon like Slowking-Galar and Zapdos. The Special Defense boost warranted by Embody Aspect also helps in handling some Darkrai sets and Special Attacking Iron Valiant while also being able to live one Freeze Dry from even Choice Specs Kyurem. Not to forget the fact that the Embody Aspect Special Defense boost also allows it to take Sludge Wave from Iron Moth and Sludge Bomb from the likes of Slowking-Galar and Darkrai more comfortably. Not to forget that Adamant nature is still very much usable, Ogerpon-W losing out on a good chunk of it’s speed for more power usually isn’t ideal though it’s definitely noteworthy that a +2 Attack Adamant Tera Water Ivy Cudgel always OHKOs Weezing-Galar which otherwise may come off as a problem for it being able to burn Ogerpon-W. (Try to specify what Pokemon you become slower than with an Adamant nature, that is Enamorus, Iron Treads, and Iron Crown)

Ogerpon-W naturally being incredibly powerful, further so boosted by set up, finds itself commonly used on Hyper Offense, Bulky Offense and sometimes even Balance oriented playstyles. On most teams it can make some great synergy with Special Attacking Iron Valiant and Raging Bolt, with it dealing with the otherwise problematic Alomomola for Iron Valiant while applying pressure onto common Special walls like Clodsire or Blissey. special walls like Clodsire and Blissey that might trouble them, as well as Assault Vest Alomomola in the case of Iron Valiant. (Just changing the text to make it a bit more clear. Do these Pokemon do anything in return for Ogerpon-W?) Common Pokémon used as cleaners, such as Enamorous and Darkrai for example, also highly appreciate it’s presence as it’s able to enable them a lot more effectively for late game clean ups, if the nature of Swords Dance hasn’t already led it to ending the game, often Ogerpon-W itself is used as a lag game cleaner. Swords Dance also allows it to efficiently cover up for teams with poor Stall matchups, often being able to deal with Stall on its own, applying great pressure onto the playstyle. due to its positive matchup against common Pokemon featured on these teams such as Gliscor, Dondozo, and Blissey. When it comes to problem matchups for Ogerpon-W, it in itself doesn’t have many direct counters however particular Pokémon like Kyurem can take an unboosted Play Rough and OHKO a non-Tera’d Ogerpon-W with Freeze Dry, with Kyurem itself not having many direct counters either proves itself to be incredibly problematic though partners like Corviknight and Slowking-Galar may prove to be useful, as well, depending on Kyurem’s set, even Tinkaton may come off as a massive help and even at that, Kyurem needs to be chipped down a good amount for it to enter Play Rough range. (This part is still very unclear to me. Maybe just adding punctuation and / or separating the sentences better could help? If I am reading it right, the idea is that Galarian Slowking can help against Kyurem and thats fine. You can even add that Ogerpon-W in return takes on Ting-Lu, Great Tusk, Gliscor, and Iron Treads that might give Galarian Slowking trouble. Just try rewording it a bit please) Amoongus notably has a niche in OU for being able to wall Ogerpon-W really effectively, so partners like Moltres, Iron Crown, Corviknight, Gholdengo and Kyurem lend a hand in breaking it. Pecharunt may also prove to be quite the wall for Ogerpon-W to break past, with even a Tera Water +2 Attack Ivy Cudgel having a slim chance to OHKO, hence partners such as Gholdengo, Darkrai and Kingambit show themselves to be very beneficial for Ogerpon-W. (Try to add Sinistcha alongside Pecharunt in this section) Ogerpon-W by no means is bulky thus it a highly appreciated being able to be safely brought onto the field, so partners like Slowking-Galar and Alomomola are extremely useful. Ogerpon-W generally prospers in the absence of hazards as it’s vulnerable to chip damage so removers such as Great Tusk really come in handy here, for which Ogerpon-W in turn helps in dealing with bulky water types like Alomomola and Dondozo for. Raging Bolt may prove itself to be a nuisance against Ogerpon-W if it’s not carrying Play Rough, so once again, Great Tusk comes in as a great partner for that.

- Dragonite and Zamazenta can be used alongside Wellspring to overwhelm shared checks such as Zapdos, Pecharunt, and Galarian Weezing.
- Kingambit is another partner able to take on Pecharunt, Sinistcha, and Dragapult that appreciates Wellspring dealing with Dondozo, Moltres, and Great Tusk. I know you already mentioned it a bit in the Pecharunt section but might be good to expand a bit more on it.
- Dragonite itself can also prove to be troublesome. You could mention Moltres and Zapdos as partners that can deal with it.

Hey FirstlyMe,
Sorry for bringing up after the edit. A small Encore mention would be great, I added it to my last check but it was too late to be noticed, just a small thing if you want to add it

A small Encore mention would be great if you can add it but I understand its trickier. The idea is keeping Encore's utility while taking advantage of the free turns it grants to setup a Swords Dance
 
a recheck would be nice here for setsu's comments. implement my suggestions first though, then quickly revise up on setsu's. should be qc 2/2 when all is completed

[SET COMMENTS]
Ogerpon-W can utilize the explosive power boost gifted to it by Swords Dance to become truly unwallable, with its primary STAB combination of Ivy Cudgel and Power Whip, though at times Horn Leech may be used over it, lacking proper answers. (this part may be a little confusing or unclear, as this comes across as cudgel and whip being primary and horn leech being a potential move. may be better to just start off with mentioning ivy cudgel) Acting as an absurdly powerful wallbreaker Ogerpon-W’s able to keep many walls in check due to its sheer breaking power as it can easily take advantage of the passive nature of most of these walls to freely set up Swords Dance, which may include the likes of Alomomola, Dondozo and Ting-Lu. Ogerpon-W’s notably also one of the few physical attackers which don’t mind Moltres. It also acts as one of the few checks for Gliscor in the tier, being able to properly abuse Gliscor’s nature to spam Protect to set up. Ogerpon-W for it’s Grass STAB may pick between Power Whip and Horn Leech, with Power Whip being the far stronger, being able to OHKO Great Tusk and other Ogerpon-W, though inaccurate option whereas Horn Leech is more consistent while provided a good amount of increased longevity by keeping Ogerpon-W healthy(horn leech isnt slashed here in dex options. you can keep it as an alternative move, but first talk about play rough or trailblaze). On paper regular Dragon types may come in as checks however Ogerpon-W has properly adapted it’s arsenal for them using Play Rough to checkmate many of the numerous Dragon types in OU like Dragonite and Walking Wake.(mention raging bolt and kyurem, since wake is hit neutrally by grass stab anyway) Ogerpon-W may also run the uncommon but sweep starting Trailblaze to, at the expense of its low base power, catapult it’s already high speed to near unrivaled levels to get the jump on otherwise faster Pokemon such as Dragapult, Darkrai, Zamazenta, and some Choice Scarfed Pokémon like Enamorus and Gholdengo. While also commonly found wielding Knock Off to be able to remove Heavy-Duty-Boots from problematic foes such as Zapdos, Pecharunt, Dragonite and Kyurem,("problematic" can be exchanged for entry hazard-weak) as well to threaten Ghost types like Dragapult, Sinistcha and Gholdengo. Synthesis may also be used to gain a more consistent form to gain longevity. (synthesis also takes advantage of wellspring forcing switches often) Encore though isn’t ideal but is usable however, with it being able to take full advantage of passive walls to set up Swords Dance and threaten lots of damage. (Can also add punishing Kingambit's Sucker Punch or Raging Bolt's Thunderclap. also its best not to phrase it as "isn't ideal" ) Despite the fact that Ogerpon-W is locked into the one sole Tera type of Water, it still makes incredible use of it by making quick work of everything which doesn’t resist Ivy Cudgel, and even at that, many resists still struggle to tank it often getting 2HKO’d, notably, +2 Attack Tera Water Ivy Cudgel always OHKOs Pokémon like Slowking-Galar(glowking is already ohkoed by +2 ivy cudgel, at least for the standard spdef set, even without tera water) and Zapdos. The Special Defense boost warranted by Embody Aspect also helps in handling some Darkrai sets and Special Attacking Iron Valiant while also being able to live one Freeze Dry from even Choice Specs Kyurem. Not to forget the fact that the Embody Aspect Special Defense boost also allows it to take Sludge Wave from Iron Moth and Sludge Bomb from the likes of Slowking-Galar and Darkrai more comfortably. (you can also just say removing its grass typing lets it take poison moves, since you already mentioned the spdef boost) Adamant nature is still very much usable, Ogerpon-W losing out on a good chunk of it’s speed for more power usually isn’t ideal though it’s definitely noteworthy that a +2 Attack Adamant Tera Water Ivy Cudgel always OHKOs Weezing-Galar which otherwise may come off as a problem for it being able to burn Ogerpon-W, however the speed drop is noticeable as you no longer are able to outspeed Pokémon like Enamorous, Iron Crown and Iron Treads. (a few more examples of ada could be helpful, like +2 tera water ivy cudgel always ohkoing corv after rocks)

Ogerpon-W naturally being incredibly powerful, further so boosted by set up, finds itself commonly used on Hyper Offense, Bulky Offense and sometimes even Balance oriented playstyles. On most teams it can make some great synergy with Special Attacking Iron Valiant and Raging Bolt, special walls like Clodsire and Blissey that might trouble them, as well as Assault Vest Alomomola in the case of Iron Valiant. Iron Valiant in turn deals with o steady revenge killers for Ogerpon-W like Zamazenta, Choice Band Weavile and Darkrai(phrasing is still a little weird, can just say outspeeding), while Raging Bolt returns the favor by dealing with Zapdos. Common Pokémon used as cleaners, such as Enamorous and Darkrai for example, also highly appreciate it’s presence as it’s able to enable them a lot more effectively for late game clean ups, if the nature of Swords Dance hasn’t already led it to ending the game, often Ogerpon-W itself is used as a late game cleaner. Swords Dance also allows it to efficiently cover up for teams with poor Stall matchups, often being able to deal with Stall on its own, applying great pressure onto the playstyle due to its positive matchup against common Pokemon featured on these teams such as Gliscor, Dondozo, and Blissey. When it comes to problem matchups for Ogerpon-W, it in itself doesn’t have many direct counters however particular Pokémon like Kyurem can take an unboosted Play Rough and OHKO a non-Tera’d Ogerpon-W with Freeze Dry, with Kyurem itself not having many direct counters either proves itself to be incredibly problematic.(little phrases like these arent neccesarily here) Because of this, Ogerpon-W likes having partners which can chip Kyurem down a little while being able to take a few hits from it, making Pokémon like Slowking-Galar and Tinkaton desirable.(you can also mention their individual support such as hazards or future sight and slow pivoting) In turn for these Pokémon, Ogerpon-W helps by dealing with problematic Ground types like Ting-Lu, Great Tusk, Gliscor and Iron Treads. Amoongus notably has a niche in OU for being able to wall Ogerpon-W really effectively, so partners like Moltres, Iron Crown, Corviknight, Gholdengo and Kyurem lend a hand in breaking it(amoong is pretty niche so just cut it down to 1 to 2 options. Ghold can stay though). Pecharunt may also prove to be quite the wall for Ogerpon-W to break past, with even a Tera Water +2 Attack Ivy Cudgel having a slim chance to OHKO(this part needs to be trimmed out a bit, since with the more defensive spread it takes 80ish%, so just say pech can reliably stomach hits from even tera water +2 cudgel), paired with the presence of Sinistcha also being unignorable by Ogerpon-W, making it so partners such as Gholdengo, Darkrai and Kingambit show themselves to be very beneficial. Dragapult may come off as annoying for Ogerpon-W as it can easily burn it, so once it again it appreciated help provided by Kingambit and Darkrai. (gambit really doesnt like being burned, so a better way to phrase it is that pult annoys wellspring with outspeeding and chipping with uturn) Ogerpon-W by no means is bulky thus it a highly appreciated being able to be safely brought onto the field, so partners like Slowking-Galar and Alomomola are extremely useful.(Alo doesnt tend to fit on SD wellspring's playstyle. smth more offensive like lando or ace can work here) Ogerpon-W generally prospers in the absence of hazards as it’s vulnerable to chip damage so removers such as Great Tusk really come in handy here, for which Ogerpon-W in turn helps in dealing with bulky water types like Alomomola and Dondozo for.(you can also mention treads and cinderace here) Raging Bolt may prove itself to be a nuisance against Ogerpon-W if it’s not carrying Play Rough, so once again, Great Tusk comes in as a great partner for that. (you can honestly move this section alongside Kyurem and compress it into strong bulky dragon types) As previously mentioned, Kingambit is a great partner for Ogerpon-W for it being able to deal with Pecharunt, Dragapult and Sinistcha. Ogerpon-W returns the favor by helping in removing Kingambit’s checks like Dondozo, Great Tusk and Moltres.(section here feels a bit blocky and doesnt really flow all too well. you can prob move to area to where gambit was discussed) Ogerpon-W when paired with Zamazenta and Dragonite can make excellent offensive overlap, overwhelming shared checks like Pecharunt, Zapdos and Weezing-Galar. Dragonite may come in as quite troublesome for Ogerpon-W when not carrying moves like Play Rough, as well if Dragonite is running an unfavorable Tera type then teammates like Zapdos or Moltres come out to be quite helpful. (again, just add dnite alongside bolt and kyu)

-i'd like a mention of hazard setters like samurott, deo, or ting lu that allow wellspring do get past certain targets. an example you could be mention is jolly wellspring ohkoing no bulk kingambit at +2 with a single layer of spikes or ohkoing raging bolt with +2 jolly play rough after rocks)
-you can also mention slow or fast pivots to get wellspring in like glowking, ace, pult. these guys help out at bringing wellspring in safely to threaten smth like gliscor.

About the horn leech part, I personally don’t think it should be in a completely different part of the paragraph as it sees a way worse and less natural transition into talking about it.
As well about the IVal section at the beginning of para 2, I think I could say it as “outspeed and revenge kill”.
Also in para 2, I don’t think it’ll be the most informative to not withhold info about wisp pult especially when this is intended for newer players to read, tho I can see your reasoning being well, reasonable.

FirstlyMe Hello, friendly reminder to please fully implement the QC check above, which has been thoroughly approved by mods as well. While I'm here, I would also like to address some of your concerns:

While it's much cleaner, order of how moves are explained matters in an analysis since it denotes their importance and priority on the set itself. In this case then mentioning them side-by-side gives readers the wrong impression, since Horn Leech isn't even a slash on the current set. You can still talk about it but after all the other written moves.

Keeping it as "revenge kill" technically works too but this is also fine.

While you're not wrong and is definitely a valid interaction between Ogerpon-W and Dragapult, the issue comes in with the wording and its implication of "switching your gambit on its wisp is fine". I would follow through with the check as is, but if you have a better way to word it with the wisp point included then I can take a look at it for you again.

If you have any other issues feel free to let us know.

Ty!
I won’t be able to finish it today, that’s for sure, my schedule is really full. Though I can try to get it done tomorrow if it’s fine, that’s practically a guarantee.

That's fine yes ty:morpeko:

Ogerpon-W returns the favor by helping in removing Kingambit’s checks like Dondozo, Great Tusk and Moltres.(section here feels a bit blocky and doesnt really flow all too well. you can prob move to area to where gambit was discussed) Ogerpon-W when paired with Zamazenta and Dragonite can make excellent offensive overlap, overwhelming shared checks like Pecharunt, Zapdos and Weezing-Galar. Dragonite may come in as quite troublesome for Ogerpon-W when not carrying moves like Play Rough, as well if Dragonite is running an unfavorable Tera type then teammates like Zapdos or Moltres come out to be quite helpful. (again, just add dnite alongside bolt and kyu)

-i'd like a mention of hazard setters like samurott, deo, or ting lu that allow wellspring do get past certain targets. an example you could be mention is jolly wellspring ohkoing no bulk kingambit at +2 with a single layer of spikes or ohkoing raging bolt with +2 jolly play rough after rocks)
-you can also mention slow or fast pivots to get wellspring in like glowking, ace, pult. these guys help out at bringing wellspring in safely to threaten smth like gliscor.

Alrighty! I’m done with the requested changes, please look through it once more in case you feel unsatisfied with one of the parts.

FirstlyMe Hello, friendly reminder to please fully implement the QC check above, which has been thoroughly approved by mods as well. While I'm here, I would also like to address some of your concerns:

While it's much cleaner, order of how moves are explained matters in an analysis since it denotes their importance and priority on the set itself. In this case then mentioning them side-by-side gives readers the wrong impression, since Horn Leech isn't even a slash on the current set. You can still talk about it but after all the other written moves.

Keeping it as "revenge kill" technically works too but this is also fine.

While you're not wrong and is definitely a valid interaction between Ogerpon-W and Dragapult, the issue comes in with the wording and its implication of "switching your gambit on its wisp is fine". I would follow through with the check as is, but if you have a better way to word it with the wisp point included then I can take a look at it for you again.

If you have any other issues feel free to let us know.

As ribs seemingly wasn’t responding to my doubts and hasn’t responded to me telling him I’m done implementing the changes (though I’ll be it, it’s been only 1 day) I’ll inform you instead. Please read through it once more if you find a section which you feel like could be improved or fleshed out more.

Edit: I was impatient, as you can see, ribs responded

I will do this

Just a heads-up for author / QC, I am probably going to brainstorm with y'all on how to split up the last paragraph into a more readable format. It's way too long for 1 paragraph as-is.
 
FirstlyMe I had to change a lot here to bring it in line with GP standards / remove fluff, so please implement this carefully. I will stamp it after giving it a second look.

I split up the first paragraph into two between the discussion of moves and other stuff, but I would appreciate QC input on how to split up the second paragraph, as it is too long. Thanks!

Ogerpon-W can utilize the explosive power boost gifted to it by Swords Dance to become truly unwallable, with its primary STAB combination consisting of Ivy Cudgel and Power Whip lacking proper answers. Acting as an absurdly powerful wallbreaker, (AC) Ogerpon-W’s able to keep many walls in check due to its sheer breaking power, (AC) as it can easily take advantage of the passive nature of most of these walls to freely set up Swords Dance, which may include , (AC) includingthe likes of Alomomola, Dondozo, (AC) and Ting-Lu, (AC) to freely set up Swords Dance. Ogerpon-W’s is notably also one of the few physical attackers which don that doesn’t mind Moltres. It also acts as one of the few checks for Gliscor in the tier, being able to properly abuse exploit Gliscor’s nature tendency to spam Protect to set up. On paper, (AC) regular Dragon types Dragon-types may come in as checks; (ASC) however, (AC) Ogerpon-W has properly adapted it’s its arsenal for them by using Play Rough to checkmate many of the numerous Dragon types in OU hit foes redundant like Dragonite and Walking Wake. Ogerpon-W may also run the uncommon but sweep starting sweep-starting Trailblaze to (RC) at the expense of its low base power, catapult it’s already high speed to near unrivaled levels to dex info get the jump on otherwise faster Pokemon such as Dragapult, Darkrai, Zamazenta, and some Choice Scarfed Pokémon Scarf users like Enamorus and Gholdengo. While It is also commonly found wielding Knock Off to be able to remove Heavy-Duty-Boots remove Heavy-Duty Boots from entry-hazard weak foes such as Zapdos, Pecharunt, Dragonite, (AC) and Kyurem, as well to threaten Ghost types Ghost-types like Dragapult, Sinistcha, (AC) and Gholdengo. Synthesis may also be used to gain a consistent form to gain longevity of recovery and to abuse utilize Ogerpon-W’s nature to frequently force switches. Encore isn’t common, (AC) though is usable, with it being able to take full advantage of passive walls to set up Swords Dance to and threaten absurd damage while also punishing Kingambit’s Sucker Punch or Raging Bolt’s Thunderclap. Horn Leech is also notable (RC): colon it’s not as powerful as Power Whip but does provide a form of longevity outside of Synthesis.

Despite the fact that Ogerpon-W is locked into the one sole Tera type of Water, it still makes incredible use of it by making quick work of everything which that doesn’t resist Ivy Cudgel, and even at that, many resists Water-resistant foes still struggle to tank it. (AP) Notably often getting 2HKO’d, notably (RC) +2 Attack Tera Water Ivy Cudgel always OHKOs Pokémon Pokemon like Zapdos. The Special Defense boost warranted by Embody Aspect also helps in handling some Darkrai sets and special attacking Iron Valiant while also being able to live take one Freeze Dry Freeze-Dry from even Choice Specs Kyurem. Not to forget the fact that it shedding it’s its Grass type typing also allows it to take Sludge Wave from Iron Moth and Sludge Bomb from the likes of Slowking-Galar Galarian Slowking and Darkrai more comfortably. An Adamant nature is still very much usable (RC): while Ogerpon-W losing out on a good chunk of it’s its Speed for more power usually isn’t ideal, (AC) though it’s definitely noteworthy. (AP) For example, (AC) as +2 Attack Adamant Tera Water Ivy Cudgel always OHKOs Weezing-Galar Galarian Weezing, (AC) which otherwise may come off as a problem for it being able to burn Ogerpon-W while also OHKOing Corviknight after rocks. (AP) However, however the Speed drop is noticeable, (AC) as you Ogerpon-W is no longer are able to outspeed Pokémon Pokemon like Enamorous, Iron Crown, (AC) and Iron Treads.

Ogerpon-W naturally being incredibly powerful, further so boosted by set up (RC) fluff finds itself commonly used on hyper offense, bulky offense, (AC) and sometimes even Balance oriented balance-oriented playstyles. On most teams, (AC) it can make some has great synergy with special attacking Iron Valiant and Raging Bolt (RC): it deals with special walls like Clodsire and Blissey that might trouble them, as well as Assault Vest Alomomola in the case of Iron Valiant. Iron Valiant, (AC) in turn, (AC) deals with Pokemon which that can outspeed and revenge kill Ogerpon-W for it like Zamazenta, Choice Band Weavile, (AC) and Darkrai, while Raging Bolt returns the favor by dealing with Zapdos. Common Pokémon Pokemon used as cleaners, such as Enamorous and Darkrai for example, also highly appreciate it’s Ogerpon-W's presence, (AC) as it’s able to enable them a lot more effectively for late game clean ups, if the nature of late-game cleaning. If Swords Dance hasn’t already led it to ending ended the game, often Ogerpon-W itself is often used as a late game late-game cleaner. Swords Dance also allows it to efficiently cover up for teams with poor stall matchups, often being able to deal with Stall on its own, by applying great pressure onto the playstyle due to its positive matchup against common Pokemon featured on these teams such as Gliscor, Dondozo, and Blissey. When it comes to problem matchups for Ogerpon-W (RC) it in itself doesn’t have many direct counters; (ASC) however, (AC) particular Pokémon Pokemon like Kyurem can take an unboosted Play Rough and OHKO a non-Tera’d non-Terastallized Ogerpon-W with Freeze Dry, with Kyurem in itself not having many direct counters proves itself to be quite problematic Freeze-Dry. rest of this seems redundant/not about Ogerpon Because of this, Ogerpon-W likes having partners which like Galarian Slowking and Tinkaton that can chip Kyurem down a little while being able to take a few hits from it (RC) making Pokémon like Slowking-Galar and Tinkaton desirable, as Slowking-Gallade . (AP) Galarian Slowkingcan provide safe pivots, (AC) while Tinkaton can set up rocks Stealth Rock and threaten massive damage onto Kyurem with Gigaton Hammer. In turn for these Pokémon return, Ogerpon-W helps by dealing with problematic Ground types Ground-types like Ting-Lu, Great Tusk, Gliscor, (AC) and Iron Treads. Raging Bolt may prove itself to be a nuisance against Ogerpon-W if it’s not carrying lacking Play Rough, so once again, Great Tusk comes in as a great partner for that. Likewise, (AC) Dragonite also may come in as is quite troublesome for Ogerpon-W when not carrying lacking Play Rough (RC): as well if Dragonite is running an unfavorable Tera type, (AC) then teammates like Zapdos or and Moltres come out to be are quite helpful. Ogerpon-W, (AC) when paired with Zamazenta and Dragonite, (AC) overlap offensively can make excellent offensive overlap, overwhelming shared checks like Pecharunt, Zapdos, (AC) and Weezing-Galar Galarian Weezing. Amoongus notably has a niche in OU for being able to wall Ogerpon-W really effectively, so partners like Moltres, Kyurem, (AC) and Gholdengo lend a hand in breaking it. Pecharunt may can also prove to be quite the wall for Ogerpon-W, (AC) to break past as it can reliably stomach hits from even +2 Attack Ivy Cudgel, paired with the presence of Sinistcha also being unignorable by Ogerpon-W, partners such as Gholdengo, Darkrai, (AC) and Kingambit show themselves to be very beneficial. Dragapult may come off as annoying for Ogerpon-W as it can easily burn it Ogerpon-W or chip it down with U-turn (RC); (ASC) though Kingambit also hates being burnt, it still very much helps against Dragapult. Ogerpon-W for the previously mentioned Kingambit returns the favor by helping in removing Kingambit’s checks like Dondozo, Great Tusk, (AC) and Moltres. Ogerpon-W by no means is bulky; (ASC) thus, (AC) it a highly appreciated appreciates being able to be safely brought onto the field, so partners like Slowking-Galar Galarian Slowking, Landorus-Therian Landorus-T, (AC) and Cinderace are extremely useful, with Ogerpon-W being able to threaten Pokémon which Pokemon that threaten them like Great Tusk or Gliscor for example. Ogerpon-W generally prospers in the absence of entry hazards, (AC) as it’s vulnerable to chip damage. (AP) Hazard so removers such as Great Tusk really come in handy here, for which Ogerpon-W in turn helps in by dealing with bulky water types Water-types like Alomomola and Dondozo for. On a similar note, Ogerpon-W also appreciates hazards being up on the opponent’s side as well, so Pokémon Pokemon like Samurott-Hisui Hisuian Samurott, Ting-Lu, (AC) and Deoxys-S or Deoxys-Speed help it out there being able to by letting Ogerpon-W OHKO Kingambit with a +2 Attack Ivy Cudgel after 1 layer of Spikes or OHKO Raging Bolt with a +2 Play Rough.

sunny004 would a split here work, between partners and checks? The underlined section can be moved as well to the partners section, if the checks section is too long.
