Ogerpon-Cornerstone (F) @ Cornerstone Mask

[Set Comments]
Ogerpon-C is an excellent wallbreaker and setup sweeper for Rock teams, not only because of its neutrality to Ground- and Water-type moves, but also because it is able to outspeed and deal with threats like Great Tusk, Gastrodon, and Mamoswine. Sturdy allows Ogerpon-C to take a hit from and remove faster threats like Barraskewda, as well as Choice Scarf Great Tusk and Choice Scarf Galarian Zapdos after a Swords Dance. Ivy Cudgel deals with threats like Ogerpon-H, Baxcalibur, and Enamorus, while also OHKOing Dragonite and Heatran after a Swords Dance. Horn Leech is a good Grass STAB move, being able to hurt Ground- and Water-types like Quagsire and Ting-Lu and OHKO Walking Wake after a boost. Horn Leech's recovery is useful for extending Ogerpon-C's longevity and can let Sturdy be used again if it brings Ogerpon-C back to full HP. Superpower is a strong coverage move as it is able to deal with Steel- and Dark-types like Iron Treads, Hisuian Goodra, Urshifu-S, and Kingambit while being able to OHKO Snorlax at +2.

Choice Scarf Glimmora, with its colorful moveset, deals with faster threats that outspeed Ogerpon-C like non-Choice-Scarf Greninja, Kommo-o, and Iron Valiant. In return, Ogerpon-C deals with Azumarill and Ursaluna-B for Glimmora. Air Balloon Glimmora can switch into threatening Ground-type moves while taking on foes like Great Tusk, clear entry hazards with Mortal Spin to make sure Ogerpon-C's Sturdy isn't broken, and sets its own hazards to enable Ogerpon-C's sweep. Tyranitar sets up sand to allow Ogerpon-C to set up easier due to the Special Defense boost, allowing Ogerpon-C to survive a Draco Meteor from Choice Specs Walking Wake. Tyranitar also acts as a specially defensive tank for Ogerpon-C and deals with Flutter Mane, Dragapult, and Spectrier. Ogerpon-C aids Tyranitar by dealing with Landorus-T and non-Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott. Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine is a strong wallbreaker, using Head Smash and Flare Blitz to break through walls like Gholdengo and Corviknight. Hisuian Arcanine appreciates Ogerpon-C being able to deal with pesky Water- and Ground-types like Belly Drum Azumarill, Landorus, and Sandy Shocks. Coalossal is a decent physical wall that can remove hazards, which prevents Ogerpon-C's Sturdy from breaking, and deals with Chien-Pao, Kingambit, Scizor, and Corviknight. Coalossal also sets up Spikes to enhance Ogerpon-C's wallbreaking. Ogerpon-C takes care of Ursaluna-B and Manaphy for Coalossal. Iron Defense + Body Press Garganacl can act as a defensive stallbreaker, using Salt Cure to weaken impediments to Ogerpon-C sweeping, like Skeledirge, Dondozo, and Hisuian Goodra. Ogerpon-C shuts down Choice Band Mamoswine, which would otherwise destroy Garganacl. Lead Kleavor is another option that can set Stealth Rock with Stone Axe, potentially breaking a Focus Sash on Ceruledge, Breloom, and Ribombee that can hinder Ogerpon-C's sweeps otherwise. Assault Vest Diancie eases the Fighting and Dragon matchups by being able to take on non-Choice Band Urshifu-S, Iron Valiant, Baxcalibur, and Dragapult. Alolan Golem can trap and eliminate Steel-types such as Corviknight and Scizor for Ogerpon-C. In return Ogerpon-C destroys Ground-types like Quagsire and Ursaluna-B.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
Play Rough is another good option over Superpower, as it hits Kommo-o and gets a guaranteed OHKO on Urshifu-S without a Swords Dance boost; however, it leaves Ogerpon-C without coverage for Steel-types. Knock Off can be used to hit Gholdengo, Jirachi, and create permanent progress by removing items. Low Kick can be used over Superpower as an alternative option that doesn't drop Ogerpon-C's stats while still threatening Steel types. Taunt allows Ogerpon-C to set up in front of Toxapex and prevents burns from Galarian Weezing.

Ogerpon-Cornerstone is an excellent wallbreaker and set up sweeper for Rock teams not only because of its ground, and water neutrality, but also being able to outspeed and deal with threats like Great Tusk, Gastrodon, and Urshifu-Rapid-Strike (Sturdy allows it to take out faster opponents like Barraskewda, Choice Scarf Great Tusk, and Choice Scarf Galarian Zapdos). Its item Cornerstone Mask not only boost Ogerpon-Cornerstone's attacks by 1.2x but also change its signature move Ivy Crudgel to a powerful STAB Rock move which deals with threats like Volcarona (Realistically never going to be an issue for Rock), Ogerpon-Heartflame, Cloyster and Non Scarf Enamorus. Horn Leech is a good grass STAB move being able to hurt Ground- and Water- Types like Great Tusk, Quagsire, Gastrodon, Ursaluna Blood Moon, and Urshifu-Rapid-Strike (You're repeating a lot of examples from earlier into the paragraph, try to diversify them a little bit more) and also recoving 50 percent of the damage dealt. Superpower is a strong coverage move being able to deal with Steel-, Dark-, and Normal- types like, Iron Treads, Goodra-Hisui, Urshifu-S, Kingambit, and Blissey. After a Swords Dance Boost, Doubling its Physical Attack, Ogerpon-Cornerstone becomes a Fierce Sweeper. At +2 Ivy Crudgel is able to OHKO, Baxcalibur, Dragonite, and Heatran. Its also worth mentioning that it 2HKO Toxapex and Corviknight. +2 Horn Leech OHKOS Urshifu-Rapid-Strike, Walking Wake, Ursaluna-BloodMoon and a 37.5% Chance to OHKO Water Absorb Clodsire. +2 Superpower allows Ogerpon-Cornerstone to OHKO Urshifu-S, Empoleon, Iron Treads, and Goodra-Hisui. (While these are all relevant calcs, this method of listing can clutter up your writing so instead tie them into the move sentences such as "Ivy Cudgel threatens blank, blank, and blank while also OHKOing blank after a Swords Dance")

Scarf Glimmora with its Colorful Moveset deals with faster threats that outspeed Ogerpon-Cornerstone like Non-Scarf Greninja, Kommo-o, and Iron Valiant. In return, Ogerpon-Cornerstone deals with Iron Treads and Gliscor for Glimmora. Tyranitar Sets up Sandstorm and acts as a special tank for Ogerpon-Conerstone and dealing with Flutter Mane, Dragapult, and Volcarona. Ogerpon-Cornerstone Aids Tyranitar by dealing with both Urshifus, Great Tusk, and Quagsire. Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine is a strong wallbreaker with Head Smash and Flare Blitz taking on Walls like Toxapex, Clodsire, and Corviknight. Hisuian Arcanine Appreciates Ogerpon-Cornerstone being able to deal with pesky Water- and Ground- types like Urshifu-Rapid-Strike, Quagsire, and Sandy Shocks. Coalossal is a decent Physical Wall that can remove hazards and deal with Corviknight, Chien-Pao, Kingambit, and Scizor (Also sets up Spikes to enhance Ogerpon's wallbreaking). Ogerpon-Cornerstone takes care of Gliscor, Ursaluna-BloodMoon, and Quagsire for Coalossal. ID+Press Garganacl can act as a defensive staller with salt cure to weaken Unaware/Bulky mons like Skeledirge, Dondozo, and Goodra-Hisui. Ogerpon-Cornerstone Shuts Down Walking Wake, and Urshifu-Rapid-Strike which would destroy Garganacl. Lead Kleavor is another option that can set Stealth Rocks with Stone Axe potentially breaking Focus Sash Mons that Can hurt Ogerpon-Cornerstone sweep. (Diancie deserves a mention and change up some of your examples, Urshifu-R and a good amount of other Water- or Ground-type Pokemon have been mentioned numerous times and if you can't think of anything you can generalize and say Ground-types or Water-types instead of specific mentions)

Ogerpon-Cornerstone is an excellent wallbreaker and setup (RS) sweeper for Rock teams not only because of its ground, Ground and water Water neutrality, but also being because it is able to outspeed and deal with threats like Great Tusk, Gastrodon, and Urshifu-Rapid-Strike.

ID+Press Iron Defense Body Press Garganacl can act as a defensive staller (it's not a stallmon; stallbreaker/wall?) with salt cure Salt Cure to weaken Unaware/Bulky mons impediments to Ogerpon-Cornerstone sweeping like Skeledirge, Dondozo, and Hisuian Goodra Goodra-Hisui, forcing great progress in the Water and Steel Match up matchups. Ogerpon-Cornerstone Shuts Down shuts down Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Urshifu-R which would destroy Garganacl. Lead Kleavor is another option that can set Stealth Rocks with Stone Axe potentially breaking Focus Sash Mons (examples? Ceruledge etc) that Can can hurt hinder Ogerpon-Cornerstone's sweeps. Diancie eases the Fighting-, and Dragon- Match up matchups by being able to take on Non non-Choice-Band Urshifu-S, Iron Valiant, Baxcalibur, and Dragapult. (Not sure what the Diancie set is here but it struggles to take on Valiant and Bax) (Alolan Golem can trap and eliminate Steels such as Corviknight and Scizor for Oger-C; in return Oger-C destroys Grounds like Quagsire and Ursa-B)

[Other Options]
Play Rough is another good option over Superpower as it hits Kommo-o and gets a guaranteed OHKO on Urshifu-S without a Swords Dance boost,; however, it leaves Ogerpon without coverage for Steel-types. (Knock Off can be used to hit Gholdengo and Jirachi and create permanent progress by removing items. Low Kick can be used over Superpower as an alternative option that doesn't drop Ogerpon-C's stats while still threatening Steels. Taunt allows Ogerpon-C to set up in Toxapex's face and prevents burns from Galarian Weezing.)

Ogerpon-Cornerstone is an excellent wallbreaker and setup sweeper for Rock teams not only because of its Ground, and Water neutrality neutralities, but also because it is able to outspeed and deal with threats like Great Tusk, Gastrodon, and Urshifu-Rapid-Strike (drop the mentions of Urshifu-R throughout, Oger-C doesn't really take it on. Horn Leech doesn't OHKO which means Scarf Urshifu-R wins; SD can just CC -> Jet to KO). Sturdy allows Ogerpon-Cornerstone to take a hit from and remove faster threats like Barraskewda, as well Choice Scarf Great Tusk and Choice Scarf Galarian Zapdos after a Swords Dance. Ivy Crudgel Cudgel deals with threats like Ogerpon-Hearthflame, Baxcalibur and Enamorus, while also OHKOing Dragonite, and Heatran after a Swords Dance. Horn Leech is a good Grass STAB move, being able to hurt Ground- and Water-types like Quagsire, and Ting-Lu and also OHKOing Walking Wake after a Boost. Horn Leech recovery is useful for extending Ogerpon-Cornerstone's longevity and can let you take advantage of Sturdy if it brings you back to full HP. Superpower is a strong coverage move, being able to deal with Steel- and Dark- types like Iron Treads, Hisuian-Goodra, Urshifu-S, and Kingambit while at +2 being able to OHKO Snorlax.

Choice Scarf Glimmora with its colorful moveset deals with faster threats that outspeed Ogerpon-Cornerstone like Nnon-Choice-Scarf Greninja, Kommo-o, and Iron Valiant. In return, Ogerpon-Cornerstone deals with Azumarill and Gliscor for Glimmora (kind of iffy on the mention of Gliscor here because it ruins Ogerpon-C with Toxic; try Ursaluna-B maybe). Air Balloon Glimmora can switch into threatening Ground moves while threatening (repetition of "threatening") mons foes (do not use "mons") like Great Tusk, clear hazards with Mortal Spin to make sure Ogerpon-C's Sturdy isn't broken, and sets its own hazards to enable Oger-Cornerstone's sweeps. Tyranitar sets up sand to allow Ogerpon-C to set up easier (due to the Sp Def boost? Maybe list a calc where the Sp Def is useful; e.g., Specs Wake can no longer OHKO Oger-C under sand). Tyranitar also acts as a special tank for Ogerpon-Conerstone and by dealing deals with Flutter Mane, Dragapult, and Spectrier. Ogerpon-Cornerstone aids Tyranitar by dealing with Landorus-Therian, and non-Choice-Scarf Hisuian Samurott. Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine is a strong wallbreaker with Head Smash and Flare Blitz taking on walls like Toxapex, Clodsire, and Corviknight (see earlier comments about Toxapex and Clodsire; Oger-C itself beats both. Gholdengo is a good target for Hisuian Arcanine). Hisuian Arcanine appreciates Ogerpon-Cornerstone being able to deal with pesky Water- and Ground- types like Belly Drum Azumarill, Landorus, and Sandy Shocks. Coalossal is a decent physical wall that can remove hazards which allows (prevents?) Ogerpon-Cornerstone's Sturdy from breaking and deals with Chien-Pao, Kingambit, Scizor, and Corviknight. Coalossal also sets up Spikes to enhance Ogerpon's wallbreaking. Ogerpon-Cornerstone takes care of Ursaluna-B, and Manaphy for Coalossal. Iron Defense Body Press Garganacl can act as a defensive stallbreaker with Salt Cure to weaken impediments to Ogerpon-Cornerstone sweeping like Skeledirge, Dondozo, and Hisuian-Goodra, forcing great progress in the Water and Steel matchup (bit of a cumbersome sentence, try condensing or splitting in two). Ogerpon-Cornerstone Shuts Down shuts down Urshifu-R which would otherwise destroy Garganacl (see above about Urshifu-R; put something like CB Mamo here). Lead Kleavor is another option that can set Stealth Rock with Stone Axe potentially breaking Focus Sash Ceruledge, Breloom, and Ribombee that can hinder Ogerpon-Cornerstone's sweeps. Assualt Vest Diancie eases the Fighting and Dragon matchups by being able to take on non-Choice Band Urshifu-S, Iron Valiant, Baxcalibur, and Dragapult. Alolan Golem can trap and eliminate Steel-types such as Corviknight and Scizor for Ogerpon-Cornerstone. In return Ogerpon-Cornerstone destroys Gorund Ground-types like Quagsire and Ursaluna-B.

Horn Leech's recovery is useful for extending Ogerpon-C's longevity and can let Sturdy be used again if it brings Ogerpon-C back to full HP. Superpower is a strong coverage move, (ac) as it is able to deal with Steel- and Dark-types there was an extra space in the middle of Dark-types i removed like Iron Treads, Hisuian-Goodra Hisuian Goodra, Urshifu-S, and Kingambit while being able to OHKO Snorlax at +2.

Choice Scarf Glimmora, with its colorful moveset, deals with faster threats that outspeed Ogerpon-C like non-Choice-Scarf Greninja, Kommo-o, and Iron Valiant. In return, Ogerpon-C deals with Azumarill and Ursaluna-B for Glimmora. Air Balloon Glimmora can switch into threatening Ground-type moves while taking on foes like Great Tusk, clear entry hazards with Mortal Spin to make sure Ogerpon-C's Sturdy isn't broken, and sets its own hazards to enable Ogerpon-C sweeps Ogerpon-C's sweep. Tyranitar sets up sand to allow Ogerpon-C to set up easier due to the Special Defense boost, which allows allowing Ogerpon-C to survive an OHKO replace this with the move you specifically mean (and make sure it agrees w/ the "a/an" before it); alternatively you can say "to not be OHKO from Choice Specs Walking Wake's [move]" from Choice Specs Walking Wake. Tyranitar also acts as a specially defensive tank for Ogerpon-C and deals with Flutter Mane, Dragapult, and Spectrier. Ogerpon-C aids Tyranitar by dealing with Landorus-Therian and non-Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott. Choice Band Hisuian Arcanine is a strong wallbreaker, with using Head Smash and Flare Blitz taking on to break through walls like Gholdengo and Corviknight. Hisuian Arcanine appreciates Ogerpon-C being able to deal with pesky Water- and Ground-types removed a space in the middle of ground-types like Belly Drum Azumarill, Landorus if you mean base, just Landorus; if you mean therian, Landorus-T, and Sandy Shocks. Coalossal is a decent physical wall that can remove hazards, (ac) which prevents Ogerpon-C's Sturdy from breaking, (ac) and deals with Chien-Pao, Kingambit, Scizor, and Corviknight. Coalossal also sets up Spikes to enhance Ogerpon-C's wallbreaking. Ogerpon-C takes care of Ursaluna-B and Manaphy for Coalossal. Iron Defense + Body Press Garganacl can act as a defensive stallbreaker, (ac) with using Salt Cure to weaken impediments to Ogerpon-C sweeping, like Skeledirge, Dondozo, and Hisuian Goodra. Ogerpon-C shuts down Choice Band Mamoswine, which would otherwise destroy Garganacl. Lead Kleavor is another option that can set Stealth Rock with Stone Axe, (ac) potentially breaking a Focus Sash on Ceruledge, Breloom, and Ribombee's Focus Sashes that can hinder Ogerpon-Cornerstone's sweeps otherwise. Assualt Assault Vest Diancie eases the Fighting and Dragon matchups by being able to take on non-Choice Band Urshifu-S, Iron Valiant, Baxcalibur, and Dragapult. Alolan Golem can trap and eliminate Steel-types such as Corviknight and Scizor for Ogerpon-Cornerstone. In return Ogerpon-Cornerstone destroys Gorund-types Ground-types like Quagsire and Ursaluna-B.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
Play Rough is another good option over Superpower, as it hits Kommo-o and gets a guaranteed OHKO on Urshifu-S without a Swords Dance boost; however, it leaves Ogerpon-C without coverage for Steel-types. Knock Off can be used to hit Gholdengo, Jirachi, (ac) and create permanent progress by removing items. Low Kick can be used over Superpower as an alternative option that doesn't drop Ogerpon-Cornerstone's stats while still threatening Steel-types (ah). Taunt allows Ogerpon-Cornerstone to set up in front of Toxapex and prevents burns from Galarian Weezing.
