Ogerpon-Wellspring @ Wellspring Mask
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 52 HP / 20 Def / 184 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Leech Seed
- Substitute
- Power Whip / Ivy Cudgel
- Spiky Shield
Ogerpon-W may look gentle, but its Leech Seed strategy is very vicious. Thanks to its great Speed tier allowing it to effectively use the combination of Leech Seed and Substitute as well as general good matchups against Skeledirge and Manaphy, Ogerpon-W proves to be a defining threat in 1v1. Power Whip improves the matchup versus Primarina, which can otherwise use Encore on Ogerpon-W and then beat it with Moonblast. Alternatively, Ivy Cudgel threatens the aforementioned Skeledirge as well as Donphan. For the last moveslot, Spiky Shield makes it easier to stall out foes with Leech Seed and allows Ogerpon-W to protect itself from any potential Custap Berry-boosted attacks. The Defense EVs allow Ogerpon-W to survive Psychic Fangs from Choice Band Metagross, while the Special Defense investment allows it to survive the combination of Blood Moon and Vacuum Wave from Ursaluna-B. Ogerpon-W's Flying and Poison weaknesses allow it to be checked by Pokemon like offensive variants of Corviknight as well as Volcanion's Sludge Wave. As such, Pokemon like Raging Bolt and Zapdos make for good partners. Ursaluna is also a great partner, as it beats both Hisuian Goodra and Sylveon, two Pokemon that are bad matchups for Ogerpon-W.
