[SET COMMENTS]

• Bulk Up in conjunction with STAB Drain Punch and its excellent coverage allows Okidogi to outlast the vast majority of the physical attackers in the format, being able to take on the Ogerpon formes, Iron Hands, Incineroar, and Rillaboom.
• Knock Off and High Horsepower are primarily used for their ability to hit Gholdengo. Knock Off is additionally able to hit Sinistcha, Landorus, and Farigiraf, while High Horsepower hits Diancie, Iron Hands, and opposing Okidogi.
• On High Horsepower sets, Protect is typically dropped in favor of Ice Punch in order to hit Landorus and Sinistcha— whose typings naturally wall the combination of High Horsepower and Drain Punch.
• Leftovers allows Okidogi to further take advantage of its setup through consistent recovery, usually paired with Protect to get even more recovery.
• Covert Cloak is primarily used to avoid Attack drops from common Breaking Swipe users like Roaring Moon and Gouging Fire that would slow down Okidogi's setting up, while also preventing Fake Out flinches and Icy Wind Speed drops.
• Bullet on EV spread if it’s not 252/252
• Tera Dark is used to give Okidogi a crucial Psychic immunity and a neutral typing into Landorus, while Tera Fairy is sometimes chosen on Leftovers Okidogi to give it an immunity to Breaking Swipe in addition to a neutrality to Landorus's Ground-type STAB moves.
• 1-2 bullets on general usage tips
• Okidogi needs partners that are able to remove Landorus such as Chien-Pao and Ogerpon-W. Chien-Pao additionally is able to pressure Psychic types and use Icy Wind to give Okidogi the speed advantage into opposing Landorus and Ogerpon, while Ogerpon-W is able to redirect attacks to allow Okidogi to further set up. Both partners greatly appreciate Okidogi's ability to deter Intimidate with Guard Dog...
