Cycle 30: Ogerpon-Cornerstone

:sv/ogerpon-cornerstone:

Ogerpon-Cornerstone (F) @ Cornerstone Mask
Ability: Sturdy
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Ivy Cudgel
- Power Whip
- Swords Dance
- Superpower

Boasting an excellent offensive STAB combination as well as good coverage and access to Swords Dance, Ogerpon-Cornerstone can easily find ways to muscle through many common structures. Its ability in Sturdy also often makes it difficult to effectively deal with, being able to survive any hit from full. How will you build around this bonk happy ogre?

Submissions close Monday 13th October!​
 
Dragonite @ Life Orb
Ability: Multiscale
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dual Wingbeat
- Extreme Speed
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance

This took me a long time to come up with. There's almost 0 mons that would usually be threatened by Rockpon that can come up with a set to beat it in a 1v1. After a long headache, I came up with this Dragonite set. This Dragonite set can survive an unboosted ivy cudgle (unless it crits) and can retaliate with a Dualwing Beat can 2hko before Extreme Speed takes the KO.

252 Atk Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon-Cornerstone Ivy Cudgel vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Multiscale Dragonite: 195-229 (60.3 - 70.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Life Orb Dragonite Dual Wingbeat (2 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Ogerpon-Cornerstone: 202-242 (67.1 - 80.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Life Orb Dragonite Extreme Speed vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Ogerpon-Cornerstone: 66-79 (21.9 - 26.2%) -- 10.1% chance to 4HKO
 
I know this is absolutely not viable, but...
:sv/ambipom:
Ambipom @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Technician
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Triple Axel
- Double Hit
- U-turn
- Knock Off

Imagine. The Cornerpon user sees an Ambipom on the other team. They laugh.

What idiot uses an Ambipom?

They play, expecting an easy victory. In the middle of the battle, the two Glowkings pivot out with Chilly reception. Cornerpon user's Glowking managed to "lose"the speed tie, and they see Ambipom switch in. They burst into laughter.

Free set-up for Cornerpon? Cornerpon sweep?
And then they switch in, expecting a free SD, then a sweep. Then...

Ambipom used Triple Axel!
21%!
42%!
37%!
It's supereffective!
Ogerpon-Cornerstone fainted!
They will rue the day they laughed at the Ambipom.

:ambipom: 252 Atk Technician Ambipom Triple Axel (120 BP) (3 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Ogerpon-Cornerstone: 380-450 (126.2 - 149.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO

very bad, please don't use, but cornerpon is a mon with very clear matchups and so is basically impossible to lure with a viable mon
