Paragraph 1 (3-4 lines approximately)
Ogerpon-C functions as an excellent setup sweeper 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 Tinkaton after Stealth Rock. 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.
Paragraph 2: (3-4 lines approximately)
Ogerpon-C best fits on hyper offense and balance teams as a late game sweeper who can win games if the opponent's team is sufficently chipped. Switchins to Mach Punch from Conkeldurr and Vacuum Wave from Keldeo such as Tornadus-T, Slowking, and Fezandipiti are appreciated. Answers to Lokix such as Heatran, Skarmory, and Cobalion also help immensely. Excadrill and Donphan both provide Rapid Spin support, which is vital for Ogerpon to maintain Sturdy against foes. 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.
