[SET COMMENTS]

With an Assault Vest, Okidogi is able to strike a perfect balance of offense and defense, using its naturally high Attack and physical bulk combined with the special bulk provided by the Assault Vest to better handle Pokemon like Hydrapple, Greninja, and Thundurus-T. Knock Off synergizes very well with Okidogi's ability Toxic Chain, allowing it to simultaneously remove items and badly poison foes, heavily wearing down bulky Pokemon like Slowking, Skeledirge, Rotom-W, and Mandibuzz. Gunk Shot can be used as an alternative to Poison Jab, offering more power at the cost of less accuracy. Psychic Fangs allows Okidogi to hit Toxapex, which otherwise walls it, while also either outright KOing or heavily damaging opposing Okidogi depending on the set. 16 Speed EVs allow Okidogi to outspeed Azumarill. The HP and Special Defense EVs allow Okidogi to avoid a 2HKO from Battle Bond Greninja's Surf at +1, and the remaining EVs go into Attack to allow it to OHKO Excadrill with Drain Punch. Tera Fairy gives Okidogi a Dragon immunity, allowing it to switch into powerful Draco Meteors from Hydrapple and Latios while maintaining a resistance to Greninja's Dark Pulse. It also allows Okidogi to take neutral damage from Excadrill's Earthquake and Zapdos's and Tornadus-T's Hurricane, giving Okidogi the perfect middle ground to reactively Tera away from its biggest threats. However, Okidogi's base typing is incredible defensively, so it should only be Terastallized when absolutely necessary.

Okidogi fits best on balance and bulky offense teams that appreciate its combination of power, bulk, and ability to slowly whittle down foes via Toxic Chain. Lokix makes a great partner for Okidogi, as it is able to reliably revenge kill Pokemon like Hoopa-U, Latios, and Greninja, which otherwise threaten Okidogi, with First Impression. Mandibuzz and Zarude also fufill similar roles, and all three Dark-types also act as pivots to bring Okidogi in safely on Pokemon like Cobalion and Enamorus-T. Mandibuzz also provides entry hazard removal to keep Okidogi from getting worn down over time. Okidogi is also susceptible to Ground- and Flying-type moves, so Pokemon that can handle these attacks, like Zapdos, Rotom-W, Tornadus-T, Hydrapple, and Zarude, make for great partners. Zapdos handles Lokix and Cobalion, absorbing Knock Off from the former and preventing Okidogi from being paralyzed by the latter. Rotom-W and Tornadus-T both handle Greninja for Okidogi, with Rotom-W also handling Mamoswine and Tornadus-T also handling Latios, and Hydrapple and Zarude check Sandy Shocks and Excadrill for Okidogi. Okidogi pairs very well with hazard setters like Excadrill, Rhyperior, and Metagross, as the combination of hazard damage and Toxic damage from Toxic Chain can wear down bulkier opponents incredibly fast. In return, these Pokemon can threaten Pecharunt, Skeledirge, and Toxapex for Okidogi.

With an Assault Vest, Okidogi is able to strike a perfect balance of offense and defense, using its naturally high Attack and physical bulk combined with the special bulk provided by the Assault Vest to better handle Pokemon like Hydrapple, Greninja, and Thundurus-Therian. Knock Off synergizes very well with Okidogi's ability Toxic Chain, allowing it to simultaneously remove items and potentially badly poison opponents, heavily wearing down bulky foes like Slowking, Skeledirge, Rotom-W, and Mandibuzz. Psychic Fangs allows Okidogi to hit Toxapex, which otherwise walls it, while also dealing good damage to Fighting types like Quaquaval and Keldeo. I would rather you focus on how it can either KO or do heavy damage to opposing Okidogi depending on the set rather than on these Fighting-types that hate its STABs anyway. You should also mention it does put some pressure on Pecharunt also. Reword as you deem fit. 16 Speed EVs allow Okidogi to just barely outspeed Azumarill while still being able to reliably answer Greninja. The Speed has nothing to do with Greninja. State how the bulk lets it avoid the 2HKO from activated (+1) Battle Bond Greninja's Surf. Then the rest is placed into attack picking up the OHKO on Excadrill with Drain Punch. Tera Fairy gives Okidogi a Dragon immunity, allowing it to switch into powerful Draco Meteors from Hydrapple and Latios while maintaining a resistance to Greninja's Dark Pulse. Add a line that tera should only be used when necessary as it has got an amazing defensive typing.

Okidogi fits best on balance and bulky offense teams that appreciate its combination of power, bulk, and ability to slowly whittle down foes via Toxic Chain. Lokix makes a great partner for Okidogi, as it is immune to powerful Psychic-type attacks from foes like Hoopa-U and Latios that Okidogi cannot take and reliably revenge kills them with First Impression. This is true but Lokix isn't exactly a mon I would consider to want to hard switch into those mons. I'd solely focus on FI and how it eases the matchup against Greninja too. Mandibuzz and Zarude also fufill similar roles, and all three Dark-types also act as pivots to bring Okidogi in safely on Pokemon like Cobalion and Enamorus-T. Mention Mandi provides removal. Okidogi is also susceptible to Ground- and Flying-type moves, so Pokemon that can handle these attacks, like Zapdos, Rotom-W, and Tornadus-T, make for great partners. Okidogi pairs very well with hazard setters like Excadrill, Rhyperior, and Metagross, as the combination of hazard damage and Toxic damage from Toxic Chain can wear down bulkier opponents incredibly fast.

With an Assault Vest, Okidogi is able to strike a perfect balance of offense and defense, using its naturally high Attack and physical bulk combined with the special bulk provided by the Assault Vest to better handle Pokemon like Hydrapple, Greninja, and Thundurus-Therian. would mention how it can use gunk over pjab for more power and less accuracy. Knock Off synergizes very well with Okidogi's ability Toxic Chain, allowing it to simultaneously remove items and potentially badly poison opponents, heavily wearing down bulky foes like Slowking, Skeledirge, Rotom-W, and Mandibuzz. Psychic Fangs allows Okidogi to hit Toxapex, which otherwise walls it, while also either outright KOing or heavily damaging opposing Okidogi depending on the set. 16 Speed EVs allow Okidogi to outspeed Azumarill. The HP and SpD EVs allow Okidogi to avoid a 2HKO from Battle Bond Greninja's Surf at +1, and the remaining EVs go into Attack to allow it to OHKO Excadrill with Drain Punch. Tera Fairy gives Okidogi a Dragon immunity, allowing it to switch into powerful Draco Meteors from Hydrapple and Latios while maintaining a resistance to Greninja's Dark Pulse. Add how Tera fairy also lets Okidogi take neutral damage from excadrill earthquake and hurricane from the birds, serving as the best middle ground to reactively Tera away from Okidogi’s biggest threats. However, Okidogi's normal type combination is incredible defensively, so it should only be Terastalized when absolutely necessary.

Mandibuzz and Zarude also fufill similar roles, and all three Dark-types also act as pivots to bring Okidogi in safely on Pokemon like Cobalion and Enamorous-T. Mandibuzz also provides hazard removal to keep Okidogi from getting worn down over time. Okidogi is also susceptible to Ground- and Flying-type moves, so Pokemon that can handle these attacks, like Zapdos, Rotom-W, and Tornadus-T, make for great partners. Add how zapdos can primarily handle Lokix and Cobalion, allowing okidogi to preserve its item since the former carries knock and doesn’t have to risk the latter paralyzing it with thunder wave. Also add how Tornadus-t and rotom wash keep okidogi from getting overwhelmed by greninja, with Tornadus also checking latios while rotom wash handles Mamoswine. I’d also like to see a mention of Hydrapple and zarude here since none of the aforementioned three Pokémon really check excadrill and sandy shocks all too well. Okidogi pairs very well with hazard setters like Excadrill, Rhyperior, and Metagross, as the combination of hazard damage and Toxic damage from Toxic Chain can wear down bulkier opponents incredibly fast. Add how these teammates can pressure pecharunt, dirge, and toxapex.
