Ogerpon-H is the big dog of fire teams courtesy of it's great speed, access to quick setup in Swords Dance, Hearthflame Mask increasing the output damage, amazing typing providing neutrality to water and allowing it to fire back with a strong STAB and Mold Breaker ignoring threatening foes such as Dondozo and Heatran. After a Swords Dance, Ivy Cudgel allows Ogerpon-H to easily break through bulky foes such as Hisuian Goodra, Alolan Muk, Life Orb Landorus-I and Heatran. Horn Leech provides the utility to regenerate health while also exerting offensive pressure letting Ogerpon-H threaten Water- and Ground- type foes such as Mamoswine, Hisuian Samurott and, Urshifu-R and Ursaluna after a Swords Dance. Play Rough improves matchup into Dragon-types threatening a OHKO on Garchomp and Dragonite after a Swords Dance.
Ninetales and Torkoal are most the prominent partners of Ogerpon-H as they sets up sun allowing Ogerpon-H's Ivy Cudgel to OHKO foes like Life Orb Landorus-I, Non Choice Scarf Hoopa-U, Skarmory and Volcarona and after a Swords Dance OHKO bulky foes such as Hatterene, Gliscor, Iron Hands and Galarian Weezing. Ninetales provides utility by burning foes such as Urshifu and Great Tusk with Will-O-Wisp, Healing Wish provides Ogerpon-H another chance to sweep once it has been chipped down and Encore allowing Ogerpon-H to set up on encored mons. On the other hand, Torkoal provides hazard control through Rapid Spin, threaten Roaring Moon with Body Press while tanking it's moves and also sets up Stealth Rock which chips foes allowing Ogerpon-H to sweep more easily. Cinderace is another ally of Ogerpon-H which assists with hazard removal due to access to Court Change which covers for Ogerpon-H's weakness to hazards. Heatran while being a temporary Ground-immunity with the help of Air Balloon also traps and removes Toxapex which is a big annoyance to Ogerpon-H. It also notably OHKOes Flutter Mane with Heavy Slam which can threaten Ogerpon-H with Power Gem if its chipped. Volcarona and Ceruledge are fellow setup sweepers which appreciate Ogerpon-H's ability to weaken threatening foes such as Hisuian Goodra and Ting-Lu so they can clean up late game. Volcarona in return removes threatening Dark-types such as Greninja, Meowscarada and Roaring Moon. It also can punish physical attackers such as Urshifu-R and Snealser with Flame Body. While, Ceruledge checks threats faster then Ogerpon-H such as Dragapult, Flutter Mane and Choice Scarfed foes once it sets up.
