[SET COMMENTS]
- Ogerpon-H uses Wood Hammer to deal huge damage allowing it to OHKO Diancie and Ursaluna formes, meanwhile Horn Leech can be used instead to increase its longevity when facing Iron Hands at the cost of dealing a lot less damage.
- Focus Energy can be opted over Follow Me becoming a more offensive set. This allows Ivy Cudgel to always be a critical hit, letting Ogerpon-H ignore attack drops from Incineroar's Intimidate and damage reduction from Alolan Ninetales's Aurora Veil.
- When Ogerpon-H Terastallizes, it can easily threaten Kyurem in snow through Aurora Veil with Ivy Cudgel and it removes its weakness to Sludge Bomb from Landorus and Bleakwind Storm from Tornadus. Ogerpon-H is capable of OHKOing Landorus and 2HKOing Iron Hands and Cresselia with Ivy Cudgel thanks to Tera.
- Ogerpon-H threatens to OHKO prominent offensive and support Pokemon, such as Chien-Pao, Gholdengo, Rillaboom, Amoonguss, and Sinistcha.
- Ogerpon-H is also capable of providing redirection allowing its allies to set up or position safely. Ogerpon-H is particularly good at redirecting Spore from Amoonguss due to type immunity.
- Ogerpon-H synergises well with Chien-Pao, since it can easily threaten Landorus and Tornadus, which Ogerpon-H is offensively threatened by due to their strong STABs. Ogerpon-H threatens Steel-types Chien-Pao struggles against such as Gholdengo and Kingambit.
- Raging Bolt appreciates Ogerpon-H's support since it is capable of KOing threats like Chien-Pao and Alolan Ninetales as well as common redirectors like Amoonguss and Sinistcha. Ogerpon-H's redirection additionally allows Raging Bolt to easily set up with Calm Mind. In return, Raging Bolt can easily dispatch Ogerpon-W, opposing Raging Bolts, and Roaring Moon who threaten and are tricky for Ogerpon-H to defeat.
- Ogerpon-H supports the core of Gholdengo, Tornadus, and Regidrago exceptionally well. Ogerpon-H threatens Steel-types the trio struggle to sufficiently damage like Kingambit and Ogerpon-H pressures Alolan Ninetales which easily threatens Tornadus and Regidrago. In turn, Regidrago threatens Dragon-types like Raging Bolt and Gholdengo can threaten Glimmora while Tornadus provides Tailwind support.

- Ogerpon-H uses Wood Hammer to deal huge damage allowing it to OHKO Diancie and Ursaluna formes, meanwhile Horn Leech can be used instead to provide healing at the cost of dealing a lot less damage. Would add something about Horn Leech being used to increase longevity, rather than just healing.
- Focus Energy can be opted over Follow Me becoming a more offensive set. This allows Ivy Cudgel to always be a critical hit, letting Ogerpon-H ignore attack drops from Incineroar's Intimidate and damage reduction from Alolan Ninetales's Aurora Veil.
- When Ogerpon-H Terastallizes, it can easily threaten Kyurem in snow through Aurora Veil with Ivy Cudgel and it removes its weakness to Sludge Bomb from Landorus and Bleakwind Storm from Tornadus. Add a sentence in here about how with tera it can ohko Landorus, and 2hko Iron hands and cresselia
- Ogerpon-H is used as an offensive threat capable of OHKOing other offensive threats like Chien-Pao, Gholdengo, and Rillaboom. and Ogerpon-H threats threatens to OHKO top tier supports such as Amoonguss and Sinistcha.
- Ogerpon-H threatens to OHKO prominent offensive and support Pokemon, such as Chien-Pao, Gholdengo, Rillaboom, Amoonguss, and Sinistcha. Just reworded this to make it flow a little easier.
- Ogerpon-H is also capable of providing redirection allowing its allies to set up or position safely. Ogerpon-H is particularly good at checking redirecting Spore from Amoonguss since it can redirect Spore while not being affected by it due to type immunity.
- Ogerpon-H synergises well with Chien-Pao, since it can easily threaten Landorus and Tornadus, which Ogerpon-H has trouble removing before it is KOed by them is offensively threatened by due to their strong STABs. Ogerpon-H threatens Steel-types Chien-Pao struggles against such as Gholdengo and Kingambit.
- Raging Bolt appreciates Ogerpon-H's support since it is capable of KOing threats like Chien-Pao and Alolan Ninetales as well as nuisances common redirectors like Amoonguss and Sinistcha. Ogerpon-H's redirection additionally allows Raging Bolt to easily set up with Calm Mind. In return, Raging Bolt can easily dispatch Ogerpon-W, opposing Raging Bolts, and Roaring Moon who threaten and are tricky for Ogerpon-H to defeat.
- Add a sentence here about how it is often paired with Gholdengo, Tornadus, and Regidrago due to their STAB combos synergizing well, as this is one of the more present cores in the format.
