[SET COMMENTS]
* Power Whip is for Primarina and non-Sap Sipper Azumarill and is the best option against non-Defense boosting natured Sylveon.
* Ivy Cudgel is for non-Passho Berry Volcarona and Rhyperior.
* Knock Off should be used against Spectrier and Porygon-Z.
* Superpower guarantees the matchup against both Hisuian Goodra and bulkier Porygon-Z sets after Knock Off, while Encore allows Ogerpon-W to defeat Pokemon like Registeel.
* The Speed EVs allow Ogerpon-W to outspeed non-Choice Scarf Porygon-Z, while the HP and Special Defense EVs give it the best roll to survive Hyper Beam from Modest Porygon-Z after Ogerpon-W's Knock Off.
* If Power Whip and another move both KO an opposing Pokemon, it is best to use the other move due to accuracy.
* Against slower Pokemon that attempt to stall out Ogerpon-W, Encore can be used to lock them into a status move.
* Knock Off can also be used in some matchups to remove an opposing Custap Berry on the turn that Pokemon like Custap Berry Sylveon use Endure.

* Power Whip is for Primarina, non-Sap Sipper Azumarill, and is the best option into non-Defense boosting nature Sylveon.
* Ivy Cudgel is for non-Passho Berry Volcarona, and Rhyperior, and Iron Boulder. CB Iron Boulder Runs Mega Horn 252 Atk Choice Band Iron Boulder Megahorn vs. 48 HP / 0 Def Ogerpon-Wellspring: 430-506 (137.3 - 161.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO
* Knock Off should be used against Porygon-Z, as it secures Ogerpon's matchup against defensive variants.
* Superpower guarantees the matchup against bulkier Ogerpon-W sets What? Power Whip does more anyways? Defensive Counter slaps back, and Charm Synth slaps too? Do you mean bulkier PZ?, while Encore allows Ogerpon to defeat Pokemon like Registeel.
* The Speed EVs allow Ogerpon to outspeed non-Choice Scarf Porygon-Z, while the HP and Special Defense EVs give it the best roll to live Hyper Beam from Modest Porygon-Z after Ogerpon's Knock Off.
* If Power Whip and another move both KO an opposing Pokemon, it is best to use the other move. Against slower Pokemon that attempt to stall out Ogerpon like, Encore can be used to lock them into a status move. Knock Off can also be used in some matchups to remove an opposing Custap Berry on the turn that Pokemon like Custap Berry Sylveon use Endure. In other cases, it is almost always the best option to use the move that does the most damage.

Implement then QC 1/2
 
* Knock Off should be used against Porygon-Z, as it secures Ogerpon's matchup against defensive variants.
Knock Off also helps against Specstrier

* Superpower guarantees the matchup against bulkier Porygon-Z sets,
Mention here that Knock Off into Superpower is great for dealing with Goodra-H

* If Power Whip and another move both KO an opposing Pokemon, it is best to use the other move.
Specify that the reason to use the other move is for accuracy. Also split up all of these points into different bullets.
