Wo-Chien leverages its massive bulk, ability, and utility movepool to serve as an effective wall and disruptor by removing items from and chipping away at the opposing team. Foul Play gives Wo-Chien a means of punishing physical setup sweepers like Maushold, Revavroom, and Salamence, which attempt to exploit its relative passivity. Ruination pressures Wo-Chien's common defensive answers like Galarian Weezing and is generally a useful progress maker against Pokemon lacking reliable recovery like Hisuian Goodra and Suicune. Leech Seed serves as Wo-Chien's secondary source of recovery and pairs nicely with Ruination, allowing Wo-Chien to wear down foes over the course of the match regardless of their Defense. Protect gives Wo-Chien an additional turn to recover health and scout moves from Choice item users like Okidogi, Gardevoir, and Gengar. Leftovers is essential for maximizing Wo-Chien's longevity and make up for its lack of recovery moves. While its defensive EVs are fairly customizable depending on the needs of the team, the Special Defense investment makes Wo-Chien a particularly strong answer to Shell Smash Blastoise and Calm Mind users like Slowbro, Suicune, and Necrozma. 56 Speed EVs allow Wo-Chien to outspeed max Speed Adamant Conkeldurr. Tera Poison patches up Wo-Chien's Fighting-, Fairy- and Bug-type weaknesses while denying poison from Pokemon like Fezandipiti, Okidogi, and Umbreon, which would otherwise threaten Wo-Chien's longevity. Tera Ghost similarly removes Wo-Chien's weaknesses to Bug- and Fighting-type moves but instead allows it to spinblock against Cyclizar and more effectively answer Maushold, Conkeldurr, and Yanmega.

Wo-Chien fits nicely on balance teams that enjoy its ability to sponge hits while making progress with Knock Off and Leech Seed. Hazard-stacking teams particularly enjoy Wo-Chien's ability to remove items like Heavy-Duty Boots and Leftovers from opposing Pokemon, thus maximizing damage output from entry hazards over time. Therefore, entry hazard setters like Hippowdon, Gligar, and Gastrodon pair nicely with Wo-Chien. In addition, entry hazards cause Regenerator Pokemon like Slowbro and Cyclizar to take more damage than what they recover with every switch, preventing them from stalling out Wo-Chien. Because of its weakness to Fighting-, Bug-, and Fairy-type moves, Wo-Chien appreciates teammates that complement its defensive profile like Fezandipiti, Galarian Weezing, and Slowbro. Fezandipiti in particular is a strong partner, as it can deny status and recovery moves from Pokemon like Umbreon and Amoonguss via Taunt and safely pivot back into Wo-Chien. Physically defensive teammates like Rocky Helmet Hippowdon and Bellibolt are also useful partners, as they can switch in on and punish U-turns and Knock Offs directed at Wo-Chien. Status moves are especially troublesome for Wo-Chien, as they threaten its ability to sit in on other Pokemon and recover health throughout the battle, so Pokemon that are immune to or don't mind status conditions like Magnezone and Conkeldurr can be helpful as teammates. Pokemon that can spread burn like Will-O-Wisp Galarian Weezing, Scald Slowbro, and Steam Eruption Volcanion are beneficial for Wo-Chien too, allowing it to more comfortably endure physical attacks and retaliate with Foul Play. Wo-Chien benefits greatly from entry hazard removal, as it will likely be switched in and out throughout the course of the battle. Therefore, Pokemon that can remove entry hazards like Cyclizar, Noivern, and Galarian Weezing make for nice partners. Cyclizar is a particularly good partner on hazard-stacking teams, since Rapid Spin does not clear entry hazards on the opponent's side, thus improving Wo-Chien's ability to chip down the opposing team through Knock Off and Leech Seed. Cyclizar also benefits from Wo-Chien's typing, which shuts down Prankster Thunder Wave from Thundurus and Klefki and Stun Spore from Amoonguss. Wo-Chien often lures in Poison- and Fighting-types that can be exploited by Future Sight users like Slowbro and Reuniclus. Because of its relative passivity, Wo-Chien can easily get overwhelmed by opposing wallbreakers and setup sweepers, especially if it's unable to Terastallize. As such, potent revenge killers and priority users like Choice Scarf Galarian Zapdos and Gardevoir and First Impression Slither Wing are appreciated as well.

Wo-Chien leverages its massive bulk, ability, and utility movepool to serve as an effective wall and disruptor. While Wo-Chien's Dark/Grass typing curses Wo-Chien it with a notorious 4x weakness to U-turn, it also blesses Wo-Chien with a unique defensive profile including valuable resistances to Ground, Water, and Dark. Foul Play gives Wo-Chien a means of punishing physical setup sweepers like Maushold, Revavroom, and Salamence who attempt to exploit its relative passivity. Ruination pressures Wo-Chien’s common defensive answers like Galarian Weezing and is generally a useful progress maker against Pokemon lacking reliable recovery. Like? Hisuian Goodra, Leech Seed serves as Wo-Chien’s primary source of recovery and pairs nicely with Ruination, allowing it to wear down foes over the course of the match.

Because of its weakness to Fighting-, Bug-, and Fairy-type moves, Wo-Chien appreciates teammates who that complement its defensive profile like Fezandipiti, Galarian Weezing, and Slowbro. Fezandipiti in particular is a strong partner, as it can deny status and recovery moves from Pokemon like Umbreon and Amoonguss via Taunt and safely pivot back into Wo-Chien. Physically defensive teammates like Rocky Helmet Hippowdon and Bellibolt are also useful partners, as they can switch in on and punish U-turns and Knock Offs directed at Wo-Chien. Status moves are especially troublesome for Wo-Chien, as they threaten its ability to sit in on other Pokemon and recover health throughout the battle, so Pokemon that are immune to or don't mind status conditions like Magnezone and Conkeldurr can be helpful as teammates. Pokemon that can spread burn like Will-O-Wisp Galarian Weezing, Scald Slowbro, and Steam Eruption Volcanion are beneficial for Wo-Chien too, allowing it to more comfortably endure physical attacks and retaliate with Foul Play. Wo-Chien benefits greatly from entry hazard removal, as it will likely be switched in and out throughout the course of the battle. Therefore, Pokemon that can remove entry hazards like Cyclizar, Noivern, and Galarian Weezing make for nice partners for Wo-Chien. Cyclizar is a particularly good partner for Wo-Chien on entry hazard stack on hazard-stacking teams,(AC) since Rapid Spin does not clear entry hazards on the opponent's side, thus improving Wo-Chien's ability to chip down the opposing team through Knock Off and Leech Seed. Cyclizar also benefits from Wo-Chien's typing,(AC) which shuts down Prankster Thunder Wave from Thundurus and Klefki and Stun Spore from Amoonguss. Wo-Chien often lures in Poison- and Fighting-types that can be exploited by Future Sight users like Slowbro and Reuniclus. Because of its relative passivity, Wo-Chien can easily get overwhelmed by opposing wallbreakers and setup sweepers, especially if it's unable to Terastallize. As such, potent revenge killers and priority users like Choice Scarf Galarian Zapdos and Gardevoir and First Impression Slither Wing are appreciated,(RC) as well.
