[SET COMMENTS]
- Ivy Cudgel is a strong STAB option, which deals strong damage into the majority of the meta-game, and allows Ogerpon-W to hit common targets including Landorus, Diancie, Incineroar and Chi-Yu super-effectively.
- Horn Leech is a solid Grass-type STAB option, allowing Ogerpon-W to recuperate its health, which is useful in maintaining Ogerpon-W’s longevity. Wood Hammer is a more powerful Grass-type move, at the expense of recoil damage.
- Follow Me is a strong redirection option through which Ogerpon-W can support its teammates, with its strong defensive typing allowing it to redirecting status moves, including Amoonguss’ Spore, and threatening damaging attacks, with Water Absorb allowing Ogerpon-W to heal from opposing Water-type attacks, in particular, Ivy Cudgel from opposing Ogerpon-W.
- Spiky Shield punishes a number of contact damaging attacks that may be directed into Ogerpon-W.
- Bullet on EV spread if it’s not 252/252
- Terastallization grants Ogerpon-W a +1 boost to its Special Defense, losing its weakness to Bleakwind Storm from Tornadus, Sludge Bomb from Landorus, and allows it to take Fire-type attacks, from Chi-Yu and Ogerpon-H, and from Snow teams much more readily.
- Ogerpon-W is a versatile offensive support option and is useful on a number of archetypes. Ogerpon-W benefits from Tornadus’ access to Prankster Tailwind, as well as Bleakwind Storm which can super-effectively damage Grass-types like Rillaboom which Ogerpon-W struggles against. Setup Pokemon including Calm Mind Raging Bolt and Nasty Plot Gholdengo appreciate Ogerpon-W’s Follow Me to redirect opposing attacks and facilitating opportunities to boost their stats.
