Oricorio-E is an electrifying presence in the RU metagame! Leveraging its excellent Electric / Flying typing, which provides key resistances to metagame staples like Galarian Zapdos and Slither Wing, Oricorio-E can quickly become a menacing setup sweeper. Oricorio-E uses Air Slash as its only attacking move, as Steel-types like Jirachi and Bisharp struggle to wall it; Taunt helps against these Steel-types, shutting down any attempt at using their own utility moves like Encore and Swords Dance, while also preventing foes like Fezandipiti and Reuniclus from using Calm Mind. Using Kee Berry to great effect, Oricorio-E sponges resisted attacks from foes like Galarian Zapdos and Talonflame to become even more difficult to take down. The Speed EVs ensure that it outpaces Slither Wing prior to setting up, which can help if it uses Terastallization against other foes. Tera Steel enables its setup attempts by preventing Toxic Chain Fezandipiti from poisoning it, along with providing a valuable resistance to Ice for Mamoswine. Teammates that can help Oricorio-E are other offensive staples like Armarouge, which can help break special walls like Empoleon and Registeel early-game, and Bisharp, which can take advantage of the wallbreaking to clean late-game.

Oricorio-E is an electrifying presence in the RU metagame! Leveraging its excellent Electric / Flying typing, which provides key resistances to metagame staples like Galarian Zapdos and Slither Wing, Oricorio-E can quickly become a menacing setup sweeper. Taunt allows it to use only Air Slash as an attacking move, as Steel-types like Jirachi and Bisharp struggle to break through it without access to their utility moves in Encore and Swords Dance, respectively Separate this a little bit: Ori can get away with Air Slash because it still beats most Flying-resists, and Taunt is mainly helpful for preventing recovery and cm wars vs Pokemon like Fez. While Kee Berry seems like a generally niche item, Oricorio-E uses it Kee Berrry to great effect, sponging resisted attacks from foes like Galarian Zapdos and Talonflame to become even more difficult to take down as it Quiver Dance's. The Speed EVs ensures that it outpaces Slither Wing prior to setting up, which can help if it uses Terastallization against other foes. Tera Steel enables its setup attempts by preventing Toxic Chain Fezandipiti from poisoning it, along with providing a valuable resistance to Ice to more effectively wall Mamoswine for Mamoswine. Teammates that can help Oricorio-E are other offensive staples like Armarouge, which can help break special walls examples in the early-game, and Bisharp, which can take advantage of the wallbreaking to clean late-game.
