:ogerpon-wellspring:
[SET]
Ogerpon-Wellspring (F) @ Wellspring Mask
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Water
Jolly Nature
- Ivy Cudgel
- Horn Leech / Wood Hammer
- Follow Me
- Spiky Shield

[SET COMMENTS]
  • Ivy Cudgel is a strong STAB option, which deals strong damage into the majority of the meta-game, and allows Ogerpon-W to hit common targets including Landorus, Diancie, Incineroar and Chi-Yu super-effectively.
  • Horn Leech is a solid Grass-type STAB option, allowing Ogerpon-W to recuperate its health, which is useful in maintaining Ogerpon-W’s longevity. Wood Hammer is a more powerful Grass-type move, at the expense of recoil damage.
  • Follow Me is a strong redirection option through which Ogerpon-W can support its teammates, with its strong defensive typing allowing it to redirecting status moves, including Amoonguss’ Spore, and threatening damaging attacks, with Water Absorb allowing Ogerpon-W to heal from opposing Water-type attacks, in particular, Ivy Cudgel from opposing Ogerpon-W.
  • Spiky Shield punishes a number of contact damaging attacks that may be directed into Ogerpon-W.
  • Terastallization grants Ogerpon-W a +1 boost to its Special Defense, losing its weakness to Bleakwind Storm from Tornadus, Sludge Bomb from Landorus, and allows it to take Fire-type attacks, from Chi-Yu and Ogerpon-H, and from Snow teams much more readily.
  • Ogerpon-W is a versatile offensive support option and is useful on a number of archetypes. Ogerpon-W benefits from Tornadus’ access to Prankster Tailwind, as well as Bleakwind Storm which can super-effectively damage Grass-types like Rillaboom which Ogerpon-W struggles against. Setup Pokemon including Calm Mind Raging Bolt and Nasty Plot Gholdengo appreciate Ogerpon-W’s Follow Me to redirect opposing attacks and facilitating opportunities to boost their stats.

Ready for QC, apologies for the delay. EV Spread has been set to max Attack / Speed, but very happy to change if someone has an appropriate replacement.

  • Ivy Cudgel is a strong STAB option, which deals strong damage into the majority of the meta-game, and allows Ogerpon-W to hit common targets including Landorus, Diancie, Incineroar and Chi-Yu super-effectively.
  • Horn Leech is a solid Grass-type STAB option, allowing Ogerpon-W to recuperate its health, which is useful in maintaining Ogerpon-W’s longevity. Wood Hammer is a more powerful Grass-type move, at the expense of recoil damage. Would like to see mention of what KOes wood hammer picks up that horn leech does not, ursaluna? diancie? etc
  • Follow Me is a strong redirection option through which Ogerpon-W can support its teammates, with its strong defensive typing allowing it to redirecting status moves, including Amoonguss’ Spore, and threatening damaging attacks, with Water Absorb allowing Ogerpon-W to heal from opposing Water-type attacks, in particular, Ivy Cudgel from opposing Ogerpon-W. This probably needs reworded, it reads pretty awkwardly. I think you can word it something along the lines of "Follow Me allows Ogerpon-W to support its teammates by redirecting single target attacks from opposing Pokemon, as well as status moves like Spore from Amoonguss." and then go into the water absorb point.
  • Spiky Shield punishes a number of contact damaging attacks that may be directed into Ogerpon-W.
  • Terastallization grants Ogerpon-W a +1 boost to its Special Defense, losing its weakness to Bleakwind Storm from Tornadus, Sludge Bomb from Landorus, and allows it to take Fire-type attacks, from Chi-Yu and Ogerpon-H, and from Snow teams much more readily. Can include mention of calcs here that the spdef boost allows ogerpon to live.
  • Ogerpon-W is a versatile offensive support option and is useful on a number of archetypes. Ogerpon-W benefits from Tornadus’ access to Prankster Tailwind, as well as Bleakwind Storm which can super-effectively damage Grass-types like Rillaboom which Ogerpon-W struggles against. Setup Pokemon including Calm Mind Raging Bolt and Nasty Plot Gholdengo appreciate Ogerpon-W’s Follow Me to redirect opposing attacks and facilitating opportunities to boost their stats. I would like to see some expansion on what pokemon truly threaten wellspring, as well as partners for ogerpon as this doesnt really capture its defining place in the metagame.
