Paragraph 1 (3-4 lines approximately)
Ogerpon-C functions as an excellent setup sweeper and breaker in UU, as there are few answers to it after Swords Dance. With Trailblaze, Ogerpon-C can outspeed Greninja and Tornadus-Therian, which allows for an easier time to sweep. Alternatively, Horn Leech allows for Ogerpon-C to regain health over the course of the match to keep it healthy from revenge killers such as Lokix. Superpower is run to OHKO Cobalion and has odds to OHKO Tinkaton after Spikes. Tera Rock gives Ogerpon extra power on Ivy Cudgel, and the combination of losing it's Grass typing and gaining +1 defense allows it to better shrug off revenge killing attempts from Lokix, Conkeldurr and Metagross. However, Ogerpon-C becomes vulnreable to Greninja, who can more easily revenge kill Ogerpon-C with Water Shuriken.
Paragraph 2: (3-4 lines approximately)
Ogerpon-C best fits on hyper offense teams as a late game sweeper who can win games if the opponent's team is sufficently chipped, as well as a breaker who can setup endgames for other wincons. Grimmsnarl can provide Screens support, which can make setting up Swords Dance for Ogerpon even easier. Revaroom is also a fantastic partner, helping to put on immense pressure on the opponent's team and weaken shared checks such as Skarmory. Entry Hazard setters such as Excadrill and Sandy Shocks can provide entry hazards, which is vital in wearing down Ogerpon-C checks such as Cobalion and Tinkaton. Thundurus-Therian forms a fantastic partnership with Ogerpon, with the two being able to greatly pressure the opposing team and enable each other to sweep.
