[SET COMMENTS]
Okidogi takes on top-tier threats such as Zamazenta, Darkrai, and Kingambit while becoming a scary offensive threat with Bulk Up and Drain Punch to keep itself healthy. It can also take on other Iron Defense users such as Corviknight and Garganacl. Knock Off removes items from switch-ins such as Zapdos and Moltres, which threaten it immensely, while also hitting Gholdengo for big damage. Ice Punch hits Gliscor and Landorus-T, which could otherwise trade with it. Guard Dog allows Okidogi to ignore Roar from Zamazenta, Whirlwind from Ting-Lu, and Red Card from Glimmora while also giving it an Attack boost from Landorus-T's Intimidate, meaning that it cannot be weakened by Intimidate from frequent switch-ins. 96 Speed EVs let Okidogi outspeed Modest Primarina and Jolly Kingambit, with the rest being put into HP and Special Defense to help Okidogi take on Pokemon such as Darkrai and Iron Valiant a lot more easily. Tera Water allows Okidogi to take hits from Ogerpon-W and Walking Wake effectively, and it removes Okidogi's Ground weakness to allow it to take on Great Tusk and Gliscor while being a generally good Tera type.
Okidogi fits best on bulky offense and balance teams where it can help wall a large proportion of the metagame while outputting offensive pressure. Kingambit is a great partner to Okidogi, as Okidogi can take on the Fighting-types that it struggles against, such as Zamazenta and Iron Valiant, while Kingambit takes on the Psychic-types that scare out Okidogi, such as Galarian Slowking and Latios. Together, they can also overwhelm Pokemon that check them, such as Landorus-T and Great Tusk. Specially defensive pivots such as Galarian Slowking and Iron Crown can switch into the special attackers that threaten Okidogi, such as Zapdos and Raging Bolt. In return, Okidogi can utilize their pivoting options in order to take on Pokemon that they may struggle with, such as Kingambit and Dragonite. Physical attackers such as Roaring Moon, Dragonite, and Ogerpon-W pair well with Okidogi, as they appreciate it wearing down physical walls with Knock Off while taking on Pokemon like Zamazenta or Corviknight that they may struggle with. Spikes setters such as Ting-Lu and Hisuian Samurott pair well with Okidogi, as they can help Okidogi wear down its checks, such as Gholdengo and Great Tusk, with chip damage. They can also check Pokemon such as Gholdengo that Okidogi may struggle more against. In return, Okidogi takes on Fighting-types such as Iron Valiant and Zamazenta, which they may struggle with, while also taking on Corviknight, which can clear away their Spikes with Defog.
