With good stats and a part-Grass typing that lets it beat common threats to Rock such as Manaphy, Ursaluna, and Swampert, Ogerpon-C is a potent sweeper for Rock teams. Horn Leech is a STAB move that grants Ogerpon-C longevity, mitigating chip damage to more reliably trigger Sturdy, and it threatens common checks to Rock teams such as Gastrodon, Ting-Lu, and Rotom-W. Knock Off 2HKOes foes such as Sinistcha and Gholdengo while also removing Heavy-Duty Boots to make foes vulnerable to entry hazards. Superpower is an alternative option to hit Steel-types that could otherwise wall Ogerpon-C, and after a Swords Dance, it OHKOes Ferrothorn and, after Stealth Rock, Archaludon as well. Shuckle and Mega Diancie can set entry hazards to let Ogerpon-C more easily apply offensive pressure; the former's Sticky Web allows Ogerpon-C to outspeed foes such as Mega Gallade, Zeraora, and Mega Lopunny. As Ogerpon-C struggles with taking care of Fighting-types such as Kommo-o, Mega Lopunny, and Sneasler, partners like Mega Diancie and Iron Boulder, which can simultaneously take advantage of Shuckle's Sticky Web and offensively check these threats, pair well. Ogerpon-C can struggle with Steel-types as well, so allies that can more easily overwhelm them such as Hisuian Arcanine and Z-Crystal Iron Boulder are also appreciated.

With good stats and a partial Grass typing that lets it check common threats to Rock(which ones? Probably nice to mention here), Ogerpon-C is a potent sweeper for Rock teams. Horn Leech is an STAB option that grants Ogerpon-C longevity, mitigating chip damage to ease triggering Sturdy, and threatens common checks to Rock teams such as Gastrodon, Ting-Lu, and Rotom-W. Knock Off 2HKOes foes such as Sinistcha and Gholdengo, while also removing items such as Heavy-Duty Boots to turn foes vulnerable to entry hazards, but Superpower is an alternative to hit Steel-types that could otherwise wall Ogerpon-C, after a Swords Dance OHKOing Ferrothorn, and after Stealth Rock, Archaludon. Shuckle and Mega Diancie can set entry hazards to let Ogerpon-C more easily apply offensive pressure, with Shuckle's Sticky Web allowing Ogerpon-C to outspeed foes such as Mega Gallade, Zeraora, and Mega Lopunny. Mega Diancie and Iron Boulder can offensively check Fighting-types that Ogerpon-C can struggle dealing with, such as Kommo-o, Mega Lopunny, and Sneasler (maybe you could mention after webs or something, and note that Boulder can actually run Z to beat your Ferrothorns/Gholds that pon might find herself walled by depending on her coverage). As Ogerpon-C can struggle with Steel-types, allies that can more easily overwhelm them such as Hisuian Arcanine are also appreciated.

With good stats and a partial part Grass typing that lets it check beat check isn’t wrong here, but beat clarifies you mean win 1v1 rather than switch-in and leave + water and ground are neutral versus rockpon, so i think its safe to assume you mean it beats them offensively common threats to Rock such as Manaphy, Ursaluna, and Swampert, Ogerpon-C is a potent sweeper for Rock teams. Horn Leech is an a STAB option move it isn’t slashed, so technically, it’s not an option that grants Ogerpon-C longevity, allowing its Sturdy to not be negated by chip damage mitigating chip damage to ease triggering Sturdy, and it targets threatens moves don’t threaten, but they can help pokemon to common checks to Rock teams such as Gastrodon, Ting-Lu, and Rotom-W. Knock Off 2HKOes foes such as Sinistcha and Gholdengo (RC) while also removing items such as Heavy-Duty Boots to turn make foes vulnerable to entry hazards. (RC) (Add period) if you mean items in general you could rephrase to “while also crippling item-dependent Pokemon like … that require Heavy-Duty Boots.” also only boots do the no items thing, so the “such as” was a bit weird here overall but Alternatively, Superpower is an alternative can be used to hit Steel-types that could otherwise wall Ogerpon-C, and at +2, it after a Swords Dance OHKOing OHKOes Ferrothorn, and after Stealth Rock, Archaludon as well. if it ohkoes arch without sd, reword to “… wall Ogerpon-C, notably OHKOing Archaludon after Stealth Rock and when at +2, Ferrothorn as well.” Shuckle and Mega Diancie can set entry hazards to let Ogerpon-C more easily apply offensive pressure; (Add semicolon) the former's , (RC) with Shuckle's Sticky Web is exceptionally useful, feel free to change exceptionally to whatever you believe is correct with its place in meta as long as it fits as it allows allowing Ogerpon-C to outspeed foes such as Mega Gallade, Zeraora, and Mega Lopunny. As Ogerpon-C struggles with taking care of Fighting-types such as Kommo-o, Mega Lopunny, and Sneasler, partners like Mega Diancie and Iron Boulder, (AC) which can simultaneously take advantage of Shuckle's Sticky Web and can offensively check these threats, (AC) pair well. (Add period) Fighting-types that Ogerpon-C can struggle dealing with, such as Kommo-o, Mega Lopunny, and Sneasler (RC) while also making advantage of Shuckle's Sticky Web for further consistency at this. this sentence had kind of same structure as last, so i changed it up As Ogerpon-C can struggle with Steel-types as well, so allies that can more easily overwhelm them such as Hisuian Arcanine and Z-Crystal Iron Boulder with a Z-Crystal are also appreciated. if they both are z users, change it to “… such as Z-Crystal users like Hisuian Arcanine and Iron Boulder …"
