- Ivy Cudgel
- U-turn
- Knock Off
- Rock Tomb

Ogerpon is defined by its speed; not only does its unique Tera grant it a Speed boost, but with Choice Band's power boost, it knocks out opposing Pokemon in the blink of an eye. After Terastallization, it outspeeds the likes of Deoxys-S and Dragapult. U-turn is a very strong tool to pivot out of incoming checks or get chip damage on the likes of Hydrapple and Rillaboom. Knock Off and Rock Tomb are good coverage options: Gholdengo and Galarian Slowking are covered by Knock Off, and the likes of Zapdos and Moltres by Rock Tomb. Knock Off also makes additional progress by removing Heavy-Duty Boots and Leftovers from the likes of Pecharunt, Dragonite, and Kingambit to more easily wear them down. Pair it with strong partners like Gholdengo to handle Ogerpon's checks, such as Pecharunt and Corviknight, which Ogerpon can support by taking on Ting-Lu and Hisuian Samurott. With good entry hazard control from teammates like Great Tusk, which also checks the likes of Raging Bolt and Galarian Weezing, you’ll have one potent gremlin.

Looks like a lot but most of these are comments on how I would try to make the information more concise.

Ogerpon is defined by its speed, not only with its unique Tera granting it a speed boost, but with Choice Band, it knocks out opposing Pokemon in the blink of an eye. Nothing wrong here but I am reading it as Choice Band also impacting its Speed. Perhaps you could swap the order to put emphasis on Choice Band before its Speed, since that's the specific part of this set. With the permanent speed boost, After Terastallization it outspeeds the likes of Deoxys-Speed Deoxys-S and non-Choice Scarf Up to you but I would remove it. Could swap Darkrai for Dragapult all together so it feels less wrong to not specify non-Choice Scarf Darkrai. With a boost to Ivy Cudgel, anything that doesn’t resist it is in danger of an OHKO or a 2HKO, barring Iron Defense Zamazenta with Dauntless Shield intact. I would remove this all together, it reads too specific for a spotlight. If you really want to mention its explosiveness, you could mention how it OHKOs the likes of Glimmora and Walking Wake for example Knock Off and Rock Tomb cover most resists to Ivy Cudgel, like Gholdengo and Galarian Slowking for Knock Off, or Zapdos and Moltres for Rock Tomb. Try to keep it simple, "cover most resists" is flavor text and borderline wrong since there are still several Pokemon that you do not hit. A Knock Off hits X while Rock Tomb targets Y might work better Knock Off also presents additional progress via the removal of items; in particular, it removes items from Pokemon it cannot touch, such as Pecharunt and Kingambit. via removing Heavy-Duty Boots and Leftovers from the likes of Pecharunt, Zapdos, and Kingambit to more easily wear them down. Not exactly this but this way you get to the point without overcomplicating the text. U-Turn is also a very strong tool to pivot out of incoming checks or to get some chip damage on the likes of Hydrapple and Rillaboom. Pair it with some strong hazard support like Tinkaton and some good hazard control like Great Tusk, and you’ll have one potent gremlin. This part can use some work; Tinkaton is not OU and hazards are not Ogerpon specific. Gholdengo can handle Ogerpon checks such as Galarian Weezing, Pecharunt, and Corviknight, while it appreciates Ogerpon taking on Hisiuian Samurott and Ting-Lu for example.
