Quality Control Band Tealpon [QC: 1/2]

[Dead by Daylight]

[SET]
Ogerpon (F) @ Choice Band
Ability: Defiant --> Embody Aspect (Teal)
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Grass
Jolly Nature
- Ivy Cudgel
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Low Kick / Rock Tomb

Choice Band Ogerpon whacks its way into the OU metagame with its strong Ivy Cudgel, alongside a welcome Speed boost from Embody Aspect and great coverage options. While it is often left in the shadows of its masked formes, Ogerpon's ability to hold an item as well as outspeed the unboosted metagame after Terastallizing allow it to smash past many of the tier's defensive staples like Dondozo, Great Tusk, and Alomomola/. Knock Off allows Ogerpon to annoy its checks, such as Corviknight, Pecharunt, and Galarian Weezing, while taking out Grass-resistant foes like Iron Crown, Gholdengo, and Galarian Slowking. U-turn allows Ogerpon to bring a teammate in on its few checks while still hitting Rillaboom and Meowscarada as well as opposing Ogerpon formes. Low Kick allows Ogerpon to break through foes who can shrug off Ivy Cudgel fairly well such as Kingambit, Kyurem, and Heatran, while Rock Tomb drops Moltres, Dragonite, Iron Moth, and Zapdos without risking adverse contact effects like Flame Body burns or Static paralysis. Defiant allows Ogerpon to turn the tables on opposing Landorus-T and Pecharunt attempting to lower Ogerpon's attack stat. After Terastallization, Ogerpon gets a much-appreciated Speed boost from Embody Aspect, letting it outrun Choice Scarf users like Hisuian Samurott and Enamorus, as well as boosting its Ivy Cudgel to 2HKO foes like offensive Gholdengo.

Ogerpon's main use is on balanced and bulky offensive teams as a wallbreaker and revenge killer, although it sees some game time on offense as a cleaner. Ogerpon is susceptible to entry hazard damage over the course of the game, so teammates like Great Tusk, Cinderace, and Corviknight who can remove said hazards from Ogerpon's side of the field are especially valued. Cinderace and Great Tusk in particular pair well with Ogerpon, as both appreciate roadblocks like Dondozo being taken down while they are able to deal with Gholdengo, Kingambit, and Heatran. Teammates that set hazards, such as Great Tusk, Hisuian Samurott and Garganacl, synchronize very well with Ogerpon and its ability to remove Heavy-Duty Boots from foes like Moltres and Corviknight. Offensive teammates like Deoxys-S, Gholdengo, and Iron Crown that threaten Ogerpon's checks like Galarian Weezing and Pecharunt are highly appreciated as well, while Ogerpon can pivot on the aforementioned Poison-types into them with U-turn. Another great offensive teammate is Choice Specs Raging Bolt, as it obliterates the likes of Moltres, Zapdos, and Corviknight while Ogerpon smashes Ground-types like Gliscor. Finally, slow pivots like Alomomola and Galarian Slowking work greatly with Ogerpon, as they give it free entry points to throw off its dangerous attacks without having to withstand powerful responses while checking threatening answers like Zamazenta.

Hey Dead by Daylight I know you mentioned that work was giving you hell, so just checking in; any ETA on this one?

Are you able to get this out of WIP status in the next ~24 hours or so? If you need extra time that's fine, but I just wanna check in and see if work isn't getting in the way of your Grasspon analysis.

While it is often left in the shadows of its masked formes, Ogerpon's ability to hold an item as well as outspeed the unboosted metagame after Terastallizing allow it to smash past many of the tier's defensive staples such as Dondozo, Great Tusk, and Alomomola. Ivy Cudgel alongside Tera Grass grants Ogerpon a great STAB move that scuppers premium physical walls in Dondozo and Great Tusk, while You can touch a bit more on Tera towards the end of the paragraph Knock Off allows Ogerpon to annoy or take out foes that do not mind Ivy Cudgel like Corviknight, Gholdengo, Pecharunt, and Galarian Slowking. Think its worth separating this into the Pokemon that you threaten, i.e. Gholdengo, Galarian Slowking, Iron Crown, and the ones you can cripple by for example removing Heavy-Duty Boots, such as Pecharun and Galarian Weezing, big checks U-turn allows Ogerpon to bring a teammate in on its few checks while still hitting Rillaboom and Meowscarada. You could add opposing Ogerpon here Low Kick allows Ogerpon to break through Kingambit and Heatran, both major annoyances due to being unbothered by Ivy Cudgel, Could add Kyurem if you relax the wording a bit while Rock Tomb drops Moltres, Dragonite, Iron Moth, and Zapdos without risking adverse contact effects like Flame Body burns or Static paralysis. Defiant allows Ogerpon to turn the tables on opposing Landorus-T and Pecharunt attempting to lower Ogerpon's attack stat. After Terastallization, Ogerpon gets a much-appreciated Speed boost from Embody Aspect, letting it outrun the entire unboosted metagame and Perhaps not worth including since you already did at the start of the paragraph, up to your consideration Choice Scarf users like Hisuian Samurott and Enamorus Something about Tera calcs here, for example you 2HKO offensive Gholdengo

Small mention of Ogerpon being used in BO. Ogerpon is susceptible to entry hazard damage over the course of the game, so teammates like Great Tusk, Cinderace, and Corviknight who can remove said hazards from Ogerpon's side of the field are especially valued. Cinderace and Great Tusk in particular pair well with Ogerpon, as both appreciate roadblocks like Dondozo being taken down while they are able to deal with Gholdengo and Heatran. You could add Kingambit and Dragonite here, unless its not clear who deals with what, but I think its worth including them somewhere in this paragraph Teammates that set hazards, such as Great Tusk, Hisuian Samurott and Garganacl, synchronize very well with Ogerpon and its ability to remove Heavy-Duty Boots from foes like Moltres and Corviknight. Offensive teammates like Deoxys-S and Iron Crown that threaten Poison-types like Galarian Weezing and Pecharunt Gholdengo is another Pokemon that does this, but not sure it threatens Poison-types as a whole, could drop that label and add Gholdengo are highly appreciated as well, while Ogerpon can pivot on the aforementioned Poison-types into them with U-turn. Finally, slow pivots like Alomomola and Galarian Slowking work greatly with Ogerpon, as they give it free entry points to throw off its dangerous attacks without having to withstand powerful responses. Zamazenta should be mentioned as one of the Pokemon that Ogerpon's teammates deal with, perhaps in the Alomomola and Galarian Slowking part

- Raging Bolt, particularly Choice Specs, is a good partner that appreciates Ogerpon taking on the Ground-types, while it can take on the likes of Corviknight, Moltres, and Zapdos, with them running a voltturn core.
