Okidogi Movesets & Competitive Sets

Assault Vest Okidogi is a bulky Pokemon capable of trading damage and acting as a deterrent to Intimidate thanks to Guard Dog. Okidogi is primarily used to punish Fake Out users like Incineroar and Rillaboom. Gunk Shot is Okidogi's primary Poison-type STAB move, notably securing an OHKO on Rillaboom, bulky Ogerpon-W and Ogerpon-H, and frailer Flutter Mane variants while securing a 2HKO on Bold Flutter Mane. Poison Jab is also usable, trading damage for consistent accuracy. Upper Hand pressures the opponent to not use any priority moves while Okidogi is on the field; this is notably useful against Fake Out users. Okidogi struggles to damage Gholdengo and Landorus with its STAB combination, forcing it to run coverage moves. However, it can only fit one coverage move, so it must choose between a move to deal with Gholdengo and a move to deal with Landorus. Knock Off notably deals super effective damage to Gholdengo, Indeedee-F, and Iron Crown; Ice Punch is coverage for Landorus. High Horsepower maintains Okidogi's ability to hit Gholdengo and Iron Crown while also allowing it to hit Raging Bolt and Tera Poison Landorus. Assault Vest allows Okidogi to survive special attacks such as Life Orb Ursaluna-B's Tera Normal Blood Moon or Earth Power. Assault Vest also turns offensive Raging Bolt's Thunderbolt and Choice Specs Gholdengo's Shadow Ball into 3HKOs. This EV spread allows Okidogi to OHKO Rillaboom with Gunk Shot, OHKO bulkier Landorus variants with Ice Punch, OHKO bulkless Ogerpon-H with Poison Jab, and 2HKO offensive Raging Bolt with High Horsepower. The Speed lets Okidogi outspeed Jolly Chien-Pao in Tailwind and most Raging Bolt. Both Tera Water and Dragon give Okidogi resistances to Water-type attacks such as Urshifu-R's Surging Strikes and Fire-type attacks such as Ogerpon-H's Ivy Cudgel while removing Okidogi's Psychic and Ground weaknesses. Tera Water does not give Okidogi weaknesses to Fairy-type attacks such as Flutter Mane's Moonblast and Dazzling Gleam, but it does make Okidogi weak to Grass-type attacks such as Rillaboom's Wood Hammer and Ogerpon-W's Horn Leech. Tera Dragon has the benefit of not making Okidogi weak to Grass, unlike Tera Water, allowing Okidogi to beat Ogerpon-H and Ogerpon-W.
