Ogerpon-W is one of the tier's premier physical attackers, making progress by breaking through opposing teams thanks to its power, Speed, and coverage moves. Running four attacking moves gives Ogerpon-W excellent coverage against any opponent. Power Whip is Ogerpon-W's strongest Grass-type move, but Horn Leech gives Ogerpon-W some recovery in exchange for power. In addition to its superb STAB moves, Ogerpon-W has access to Knock Off as a utility option to remove Heavy-Duty Boots from common users like Zapdos, Pecharunt, Dragonite, and Sinistcha, preventing them from switching in for free, as well as targeting Dragapult. Ogerpon-W runs Play Rough for Dragon-types such as Dragonite, Kyurem, Raging Bolt, and Hydrapple. U-turn is an alternative that gives Ogerpon-W the ability to pivot out of bad matchups at the cost of potential coverage. Ogerpon-W benefits from running either a Jolly or Adamant nature: Jolly allows it to outspeed Walking Wake, Iron Crown, Enamorus, Iron Treads, and Keldeo, whereas Adamant gives it the ability to OHKO Great Tusk and Specially Defensive Gliscor after Stealth Rock damage. Ogerpon-W is locked to Tera Water, which allows it to guarantee OHKOs with Ivy Cudgel against Darkrai and Iron Valiant. Tera Water also removes Ogerpon-W’s weakness to U-Turn and increases its survivability against foes like Gholdengo thanks to Embody Aspect.
Ogerpon-W is an excellent addition to offense teams and supports them as a premier wallbreaker and revenge killer. Powerful offensive teammates like Dragonite and Kingambit form strong cores that can break down opposing structures: Dragonite can assist Ogerpon-W in pressuring foes like Pecharunt and Zapdos, while Kingambit checks Dragapult. Ogerpon-W returns the favor by threatening the likes of Great Tusk, Landorus-T, Moltres, and Dondozo. Ogerpon-W benefits from teammates that can set up entry hazards and keep them in place; hazards make it easier for its offensive output to break teams, and in return it can use Knock Off to remove Heavy-Duty Boots to rack up hazard damage. Great Tusk is a strong option that can set Stealth Rock as well as keep pressure on foes like Raging Bolt and Dragonite. Gholdengo can help block Rapid Spin and Defog while slowing enemies down with Thunder Wave, giving Ogerpon-W more opportunities to deal damage. Lastly, Ting-Lu can help check Raging Bolt, Pecharunt, and Dragapult. Dragapult is also a great teammate that helps Ogerpon-W by spreading paralysis to help it outspeed foes, using U-turn to pivot it in safely. Ogerpon-W in turn threatens Garganacl, Ting-Lu, Primarina, and Assault Vest Alomomola, all of which give Dragapult trouble. Raging Bolt is another option that can pick off foes weakened by Ogerpon-W with priority Thunderclap; Ogerpon-W complements Raging Bolt by dealing with threats like Great Tusk, Ting-Lu, and Iron Treads. Together, Ogerpon-W, Dragapult, and Raging Bolt can form VoltTurn pivot cores to keep strong momentum between them. Ogerpon-W is relatively frail and susceptible to taking hits from opposing offensive Pokemon like Dragonite and Iron Valiant as well as entry hazards due to lack of Heavy-Duty Boots. Defensive teammates like Zamazenta can help cover Dragonite, taking little damage from its attacks and stopping it from boosting with Dragon Dance by using Roar. Garganacl is another solid defensive teammate that can handle attacks from foes like Pecharunt, Dragapult, and Zapdos, wearing them down with Stealth Rock and Salt Cure. Ogerpon-W struggles to break through certain defensive walls like Zamazenta and Pecharunt; having powerful teammates like Iron Valiant or the aforementioned Dragapult for the former along with Darkrai or Galarian Slowking for the latter can help take care of said walls as well as keep up offensive pressure throughout the game.
