厄诡椪-水井面具 怎么配招

Charm + Synthesis allows Ogerpon-W to outlast slower physical attackers like Haxorus and Iron Hands. Synthesis can also help defeat Draco Meteor users like Speed Booster Energy Walking Wake. Ivy Cudgel is a reliable Water-type STAB move used to chip down the likes of Metagross and Skeledirge. Power Whip is used primarily to take down other Water-types, most notably Primarina and Urshifu-R. If some of these Pokemon are already well covered by a partner, Encore is worth considering. Encore can foil the plans of some setup Pokemon, such as Swords Dance Iron Hands, that would otherwise outlast Charm and then KO Ogerpon-W. Encore also allows for it to break through some stall Pokemon, such as Reflect + Calm Mind Cresselia. 152 Speed EVs and a Jolly nature allow Ogerpon-W to outspeed Haxorus and Urshifu. The defensive investment gives the best chances to survive a Close Combat from Choice Band Urshifu, allowing Ogerpon-W to be sent in against both of its formes without having to guess at Team Preview.

Maximum Speed is to outspeed everything Ogerpon-W can, including non-Choice Scarf Landorus-T and Manaphy. The Defense EVs let Ogerpon-W survive Choice Band Metagross's Psychic Fangs, while the Special Defense EVs let it take Ursaluna-B's combo of Blood Moon and Vacuum Wave. Ogerpon-W should use Leech Seed turn one and then alternate between Spiky Shield and Substitute until the foe is KOed or is within range of Ogerpon-W's attacks. Without Spiky Shield, Ogerpon-W relies more on its offensive capabilities. After using Leech Seed, it should use Substitute until it's able to KO foes with either Power Whip or Ivy Cudgel. Leech Seed and Substitute are standard for the strategy. While Spiky Shield isn't mandatory, it is usually used to increase healing from Leech Seed and to stall out the foe's HP. One or two attacking moves are used; Ivy Cudgel is better for hitting Fire-, Ground-, and Rock-types like Landorus-T, Skeledirge, and Rhyperior for super effective damage and is better against IronPress sets from Pokemon like Registeel and Corviknight because of Ivy Cudgel's higher crit rate. Power Whip's main advantage is that it is better against Water-types, like Primarina and Manaphy.

This Ogerpon-W takes a more defensive route thanks to its decent bulk and access to Counter in order to flip otherwise losing matchups, such as against non-Triple Axel Meowscarada. Power Whip hits Water-type Pokemon such as Primarina super effectively and is Ogerpon-W's best option against neutral matchups like Sylveon. Ivy Cudgel threatens Fire- and Ground-type Pokemon such as Skeledirge and Landorus-T. Counter allows defensive Ogerpon-W to retaliate against physical foes that would either threaten to KO it or feel that a physical attack is their best move against offensive Ogerpon-W sets, such as non-Triple Axel Choice Band Meowscarada and opposing Ogerpon-W. Alternatively, Knock Off may be used to remove Custap Berry from Pokemon such as Skeledirge. U-turn is Ogerpon-W's best option against non-defensive Hoopa-U, since it gets OHKOed. Alternatively, Encore is useful to lock down a slower foe focused on boosting their stats, such as Cresselia and defensive Iron Crown, or to outplay Endure Custap Berry sets from Pokemon such as Sylveon and Skeledirge. The Speed EVs allow Ogerpon-W to outspeed Hoopa-U whereas the HP and Defense EVs give Ogerpon-W the best rolls against Adamant Choice Band Meowscarada. Defensive Ogerpon-W won't have the firepower to threaten Pokemon like Fast Choice Specs Porygon-Z, Bulky Hoopa-U, and Ursaluna, so teammates that can cover this weakness such as Corviknight are appreciated.

Ogerpon-W is a very strong offensive threat with a wide movepool capable of adapting itself to a variety of threats in 1v1. Power Whip hits opposing Water- and Ground-types like Primarina and Ursaluna. Wood Hammer may be used to not deal with Power Whip's 85% accuracy, though taking recoil may cause Ogerpon-W to lose some matchups that Power Whip would be a better fit for, such as against opposing Ogerpon-W. Ivy Cudgel muscles through Fire- and Ground-types like Volcarona, Heatran, and Landorus-T. Ogerpon-W's blisteringly fast base 110 Speed allows it to shut down many defensive threats that enjoy boosting their Defense stat such as Corviknight and Iron Crown by locking them into a status move with Encore. Superpower may be used to secure KOs on threats that would otherwise survive Ogerpon-W's STAB attacks such as bulky Choice Specs Porygon-Z and non-Counter Hisuian Goodra. U-turn can KO bulkier, slower Hoopa-U sets that would survive Ogerpon-W's other moves. Knock Off can be used to outplay Custap Berry Pokemon such as Skeledirge and faster Choice Scarf users like Metagross. Trailblaze lets Ogerpon-W get the jump on faster Pokemon that could potentially outplay it such as Encore + Disable Iron Valiant. Spiky Shield can be used to secure OHKOs against Pokemon like Custap Berry Skeledirge and can stop Fly from Landorus-T. Ogerpon-W's Speed is maximized to outspeed Alolan Ninetales and Speed tie itself in the mirror matchup. The rest of the EVs are placed to maximize its Attack. Because of Ogerpon-W's immense strength, versatility, and Speed, its moveset is completely flexible and can open a myriad of options for its partners. Unfortunately, offensive Ogerpon-W can be overwhelmed by threats that can survive an attack and KO it back, such as Haxorus, so partners that help Ogerpon-W overcome this issue like Sylveon and Iron Crown are helpful.

Power Whip is for Primarina and non-Sap Sipper Azumarill and is the best option against non-positive Defense-natured Sylveon. Ivy Cudgel is for non-Passho Berry Volcarona and Rhyperior. Knock Off should be used against Spectrier and Porygon-Z. Superpower guarantees the matchup against both Hisuian Goodra and bulkier Porygon-Z sets after Knock Off, while Encore allows Ogerpon-W to defeat Pokemon like Registeel. The Speed EVs allow Ogerpon-W to outspeed non-Choice Scarf Porygon-Z, while the HP and Special Defense EVs give it the best roll to survive Hyper Beam from Modest Porygon-Z after Ogerpon-W's Knock Off. If Power Whip and another move both KO an opposing Pokemon, it is best to use the other move due to accuracy. Against slower Pokemon that attempt to stall out Ogerpon-W, Encore can be used to lock them into a status move. Knock Off can also be used in some matchups to remove an opposing Custap Berry on the turn that Pokemon like Custap Berry Sylveon use Endure.

Ogerpon-W is often used to redirect attacks and threaten common Fire-types such as Incineroar and Chi-Yu and Ground-types such as Ursaluna-B and Landorus with Ivy Cudgel. Ogerpon-W has excellent matchups into Urshifu-R and Kyogre, both of which struggle to deal significant damage to Ogerpon-W while it can threaten them with Horn Leech or Wood Hammer. Horn Leech is used to deal consistent damage while boosting Ogerpon-W's longevity, while Wood Hammer allows Ogerpon-W to OHKO Flutter Mane and Kyogre. Ogerpon-W also matches up well into Calyrex-S and Ursaluna-B after it Terastallizes, threatening to 2HKO Calyrex-S and OHKO Ursaluna-B with Tera Water Ivy Cudgel. The HP and Defense investment allows Ogerpon-W to survive Collision Course in sun from Koraidon, Wood Hammer from Assault Vest Rillaboom, and two High Horsepowers from Calyrex-I after Terastallizing, and it gives it a high chance of surviving two Behemoth Blades from Zacian-C. The HP and Special Defense investment allows Ogerpon-W to survive Astral Barrage from Tera Ghost Choice Specs Calyrex-S, Discharge from Choice Specs Miraidon, and, when Terastallized, Blood Moon from Ursaluna-B; Ogerpon-W also has a high chance of surviving Overheat from Chi-Yu. The Attack investment allows Ogerpon-W to 2HKO Incineroar after Intimidate, and the Speed investment allows Ogerpon-W to outrun Landorus. Ogerpon-W's redirection makes it an ideal partner for Pokemon that want to set up freely and frail offensive threats that can be KOed easily such as Calm Mind Terapagos and Choice Specs Calyrex-S, respectively. Ogerpon-W survives attacks such as Collision Course from Koraidon and Close Combat from Urshifu-R, which threaten Terapagos, and can redirect Sucker Punch from Chien-Pao, which threatens Calyrex-S. Ogerpon-W also threatens checks to Calyrex-S such as Incineroar and Chi-Yu. Ogerpon-W struggles against Miraidon, Raging Bolt, and Rillaboom, all of which wall and threaten it. Calyrex-I threatens all of these, making it an ideal partner for Ogerpon-W. Ogerpon-W benefits Calyrex-I by threatening Incineroar and redirecting attacks, such as Knock Off and Will-O-Wisp, that hinder Calyrex-I. A partner Incineroar also pairs well with Ogerpon-W, with Incineroar's Intimidate and Ogerpon-W's Embody Aspect working in tandem to make Ogerpon-W difficult to remove. Ogerpon-W supports Incineroar by redirecting attacks that threaten Incineroar such as Surging Strikes from Urshifu-R and Earth Power from Ursaluna-B.

Ogerpon-W boasts a great Attack stat complemented by an amazing Speed stat, which lets it outspeed a great number of foes such as Landorus, Hydreigon, and Keldeo, allowing it to serve as a setup sweeper on both rain and rainless Water teams. Ivy Cudgel dismantles foes such as offensive Gholdengo, Zapdos, and Galarian Slowking after a Swords Dance. Horn Leech threatens enemies such as Primarina and Keldeo. Power Whip can be used in place of Horn Leech for more power over accuracy, allowing Ogerpon-W to clean up walls such as Toxapex, Clodsire, Ting-Lu, and Hatterene after a Swords Dance. Play Rough threatens Dragon-types such as Dragonite and Kommo-o, which resist both of Ogerpon-W's STAB moves. Alternatively, Knock Off removes items such as Leftovers from annoying foes like Archaludon and Corviknight while also threatening Brambleghast. Trailblaze is another option to boost Ogerpon-W's Speed, allowing it to out wipe out Rock, Ground, and Fire teams on its own. Swampert provides an immunity to Electric-type attacks, sets entry hazards for the team, and possesses a slow pivot option via Flip Turn, allowing Ogerpon-W to safely come on a weakened threat to set up. Hisuian Samurott is another partner that provides hazard support via Ceaseless Edge. It also checks fast foes like Dragapult and chipped Choice Specs Flutter Mane with Sucker Punch as well as annoying foes such as Archaludon with Sacred Sword. Greninja forms an offensive core with Ogerpon-W, serving as the special attacker of the team and helping in removing Dragonite and Ogerpon-H. Primarina is another setup sweeper that finds success in disrupting Dragon-types such as Roaring Moon and Archaludon with Draining Kiss. Toxapex is an excellent wall to deal with foes like Kleavor and Meowscarada. Toxapex spreads poison with Toxic or Toxic Spikes to wear down Iron Hands and Sinistcha, allowing Ogerpon-W to clean them up with ease. When slotted on rain teams, Ogerpon-W enjoys Pelipper's ability to set up rain and easily pivot in it using U-turn against Hisuian Samurott. Rain allows Ogerpon-W's Ivy Cudgel to OHKO foes such as Ting-Lu and Alolan Muk after Stealth Rock damage. In rain, Barraskewda breaks through Ogerpon-W's checks such as Sneasler and Tornadus-T. Empoleon provides a switch-in against special attacks from foes like Articuno and Kyurem and threatens them back. It also punishes attempts to Defog with Competitive and provides utility with Stealth Rock, Flip Turn, and Roar. Gastrodon is another defensive ally of Ogerpon-W that can be annoying to remove due to its bulk and access to Recover. It can set up hazards such as Spikes and Stealth Rock as well as disrupt foes like Gliscor and Gholdengo with Earth Power and Ice Beam.

Ivy Cudgel deals strong damage against the majority of the metagame and allows Ogerpon-W to hit common targets including Landorus, Diancie, Incineroar, and Chi-Yu super effectively. Power Whip threatens potential OHKOs on Ursaluna and Diancie. Horn Leech is a reliable and accurate alternative that allows Ogerpon-W to recuperate its health, which is useful in maintaining its longevity. Alternatively, Grass-type moves can be dropped in favor of some alternative options to serve the team's needs. Ogerpon-W can run Play Rough to enable it to OHKO Roaring Moon, which otherwise resists its STAB coverage, as well as pressure damage onto Raging Bolt and Kyurem. Encore is a disruptive option that can be used to facilitate setup opportunities for Ogerpon-W’s partners. Follow Me allows Ogerpon-W to support its teammates by redirecting single target attacks from opposing Pokemon, including Earth Power from Landorus as well as status moves such as Spore from Amoonguss. Spiky Shield punishes a number of contact damaging attacks that may be directed into Ogerpon-W, breaking the Focus Sash of Pokemon like Chien-Pao and punishing attempted Breaking Swipe from Gouging Fire and Roaring Moon. Maximum Speed EVs allow Ogerpon to at least Speed tie the crowded base 110 Speed tier with opposing Ogerpon formes as well as outspeed Alolan Ninetales, Landorus, and non-Choice Scarf Chi-Yu. The bulk investment ensures that Ogerpon-W is not OHKOed by Tornadus's Bleakwind Storm, and the given Attack investment offers it a favorable roll to OHKO bulky Landorus. Terastallization lets Ogerpon-W lose its weakness to Bleakwind Storm from Tornadus, Gunk Shot from Okidogi, and Sludge Bomb from Landorus. This also allows it to take Fire-type attacks, in particular from Chi-Yu, and turns Assault Vest Kyurem's Freeze-Dry from an OHKO to a favorable roll to not 2HKO. Ogerpon-W is a versatile offensive support option that is useful on a number of team compositions. In particular, setup Pokemon, including Nasty Plot Gholdengo and Calm Mind Raging Bolt, appreciate Ogerpon-W’s Follow Me to redirect opposing attacks, facilitating opportunities to boost their stats. Ogerpon-W is able to offensively threaten Landorus, which checks both Gholdengo and Raging Bolt, and it is able to threaten Chi-Yu and Incineroar, which check Gholdengo. Ogerpon-W struggles with common Grass-types like Rillaboom, Sinistcha, and Amoonguss, which resist its STAB coverage and deal respectable damage in return, especially to Terastallized Ogerpon-W. Ogerpon-W also loses its immunity to Rage Powder and Spore when Terastallized. Partners like Tornadus and Chien-Pao offensively threaten these Grass-types while additionally supporting Ogerpon-W with speed control in Prankster Tailwind and bolstering its damage with Sword of Ruin, respectively. Dragon-types, including Raging Bolt and Kyurem, resist Ogerpon-W's offensive coverage and deal significant damage in return. Breaking Swipe from Roaring Moon and Gouging Fire bypasses Ogerpon-W's ability to redirect damage while also lowering its Attack. Partners like Roaring Moon can offer fast Tailwind support and coverage for opposing Dragon-types and physical attackers including Iron Hands, which threatens significant damage against Terastallized Ogerpon-W.

Ogerpon-W is a very threatening wallbreaker that gets many opportunities to set up with Swords Dance, as it can threaten key defensive pieces like Landorus-T, Great Tusk, and Heatran with its STAB moves. Power Whip is the preferred option, as it OHKOes Great Tusk and Alomomola, but Horn Leech can keep Ogerpon-W healthy. Superpower hits potential switch-ins such as Ferrothorn and Archaludon. Play Rough can allow Ogerpon-W to target foes such as Dragonite, Raging Bolt, and Mega Latios, which would otherwise switch in comfortably. Ogerpon-W tends to fit on many different playstyles from hyper offense to balance, as it is a potent wallbreaker capable of threatening defensive teams. Its Water immunity is also appreciated against rain teams. Pokemon like Great Tusk and Landorus-T value Ogerpon-W's ability to break through bulky Water-types such as Alomomola, Slowbro, and Dondozo. In return, these two provide Stealth Rock support as well as an Electric immunity that can stop revenge killing attempts from Tapu Koko and Raging Bolt. In addition, both teammates can provide entry hazard removal, which Ogerpon-W appreciates, as it is vulnerable to chip damage. Ogerpon-W struggles with threats like Raging Bolt, Mega Latios, and Mega Latias, so Pursuit trappers like Kingambit and Mega Tyranitar are welcomed. Ogerpon-W does not like taking many hits, so it appreciates U-turn from teammates such as Landorus-T and Tapu Koko to enter the field safely against Pokemon that want to come in on them such as Alomomola for the former and Ting-Lu for the latter. Non-Superpower Ogerpon-W can struggle to dent checks such as Ferrothorn and Archaludon, so Pokemon like Zamazenta and Mega Lopunny are valued to make up for the lack of coverage. Non-Play Rough Ogerpon-W should have partners that can pressure checks like Dragonite and Raging Bolt like Great Tusk and Tapu Koko.

Ogerpon-W is an offensive pivot that threatens common defensive Pokemon like Landorus-T, Gliscor, and Heatran. Courtesy of its ability, Ogerpon-W can answer a plethora of offensive Water-types, such as Mega Swampert and Urshifu-R, while ignoring Scald and Flip Turn from Slowbro, Toxapex, and Alomomola. Power Whip OKHOes Ursaluna and Great Tusk after minor chip damage, whereas Horn Leech provides it with longevity in exchange for power. U-turn allows Ogerpon-W to pivot out of checks such as Raging Bolt, Ferrothorn, and Dragonite. Knock Off is used to cripple switch-ins like Dragonite and Ferrothorn by removing their Heavy-Duty Boots and Leftovers, respectively. Alternatively, Encore can lock certain defensive pieces into recovery moves such as Toxapex and Mega Scizor. Encore also helps Ogerpon-W avoid mind games against priority moves from Raging Bolt and Kingambit and denies faster Pokemon like Zamazenta from setting up on it. Taunt is also an option to deny entry hazard-setting attempts from walls such as Ferrothorn and Clefable while ensuring Ogerpon-W walls Toxapex and Alomomola. Spikes can be used to wear down checks such as Ferrothorn and Raging Bolt lacking Heavy-Duty Boots, as it has the remarkable ability to force switches. Ogerpon-W commonly fits on bulky offense and balance teams. Pokemon such as Great Tusk and Landorus-T appreciate its presence due to its ability to threaten foes such as Alomomola, Urshifu-R, and Moltres. In return, these teammates can provide entry hazard removal through Rapid Spin and Defog to prevent Ogerpon-W from being worn down quickly. Additionally, Landorus-T can bring it in with U-turn against Pokemon like Alomomola and Gliscor. Ogerpon-W is vulnerable to faster threats such as Iron Valiant and Zamazenta, so it appreciates teammates like bulky Volcarona and Landorus-T to answer Iron Valiant and check Zamazenta, respectively. Ogerpon-W also loves Spikes support from Pokemon like Mega Diancie to wear down checks such as Ferrothorn and Raging Bolt and help rack up chip damage in combination with U-turn.

Ogerpon-W is a threatening offensive redirector, using its good stats and strong movepool to check metagame threats such as Landorus and Heatran, as well as providing a useful Water immunity to teammates. Ivy Cudgel is useful as a strong Water-type move for Ogerpon-W and a strong Grass-type move for teammates. In a pinch, Ogerpon-W can also use Ivy Cudgel on a teammate to provide a small bit of healing thanks to Water Absorb. Wood Hammer is stronger, at the cost of having recoil, while Horn Leech improves Ogerpon-W's longevity throughout a battle. Follow Me helps allies like Gholdengo and Iron Hands to set up, as well as helping Trick Room users such as Porygon2 to set it up safely. Spiky Shield is a useful option that can protect Ogerpon-W from double targets and help it stall out Trick Room, while Swords Dance synergizes well with Follow Me and can be used if other teammates are carrying Protect. The given EV spread allows it to outspeed Landorus and survive Landorus's Sludge Bomb, with the rest being put in Attack. Ogerpon-W struggles against Grass- and Dragon-types such as Rillaboom, Sinistcha, Dragonite, and Raging Bolt, as they resist Ogerpon-W's STAB combination. Intimidate users such as Incineroar and Landorus-T can also be problematic, as they dampen Ogerpon-W's damage output despite its positive type matchup into them. Ogerpon-W is forced into Tera Water, but it uniquely gives Ogerpon-W a useful Special Defense boost, helping against Pokemon like Gholdengo and Tornadus. Notable Partners Intimidate Answers: Pokemon that can take advantage of Intimidate like Galarian Zapdos and Kingambit or Pokemon that can block it like Dragonite make for good partners, as they can prevent Ogerpon-W's damage output from being lowered. When alongside these Intimidate answers, Ogerpon-W can utilize its good matchup into Intimidate users such as Landorus-T and Incineroar and check them properly. Physical Attackers: Ogerpon-W is good with a lot of physical attackers such as Chien Pao, Iron Hands, and Ursaluna. Ogerpon-W can pass them Swords Dance and help them set up with Follow Me or utilize its strong offensive synergy with these teammates, such as Chien Pao beating the Grass- and Dragon-types that Ogerpon-W struggles with, Ogerpon-W beating Landorus for Iron Hands and Iron Hands beating Tornadus in return, and Ursaluna beating Dragonite for Ogerpon-W. Additionally, Chien-Pao provides Sword of Ruin, making the duo very obnoxious to switch into considering the type synergy between them, as well as making Ivy Cudgel more of a threat against Incineroar. Water-weak Pokemon Teammates such as Heatran, Ting-Lu, Glimmora, and both Landorus formes appreciate the Water immunity that Ogerpon-W grants to its team. Follow Me can enable Substitute users like Landorus and Heatran, while Heatran can check Rillaboom, Sinistcha, and Amoonguss. Glimmora can provide entry hazard support to chip down would-be checks to Ogerpon-W, as well as check Flying-types like Tornadus and Dragonite that would otherwise cause problems. Trick Room Setters Pokemon like Porygon2 and Diancie benefit from Ogerpon-W’s ability to redirect attacks that would otherwise threaten them, allowing them to set up Trick Room more easily. These teammates also have additional synergies, such as Porygon2 passing Download and Diancie passing Clear Body, as well as Ogerpon-W providing Diancie with a Water immunity.

Fantastic STAB coverage, a solid Speed tier, and good coverage options all make Ogerpon-W a force to be reckoned with, being able to shatter most of the tier's physical walls such as Corviknight, Gholdengo, and Mandibuzz after a Swords Dance. Power Whip packs more of a punch, letting it OHKO RegenVest Manaphy without a Swords Dance boost, while Horn Leech grants it more longevity. Knock Off lets it threaten Desolate Land users such as Iron Moth, Ceruledge, and Heatran, while Play Rough picks off Dragon-types such as Roaring Moon, Dragonite, and Latios. Trailblaze enables Ogerpon-W to act as more of a sweeper, letting it outspeed threats such as Iron Boulder, Chien-Pao, and Deoxys-S, while Spikes can be used to help chip down Hisuian Goodra and other walls for its teammates. Ogerpon-W pairs well with fast cleaners such as Iron Boulder and Choice Scarf Roaring Moon, as they appreciate its ability to pressure Fluffy users such as Corviknight and Great Tusk thanks to Ivy Cudgel not making contact. In spite of its solid speed, Ogerpon-W is still threatened by faster targets such as Chien-Pao, Choice Scarf Azelf, and Roaring Moon, making defensive pivots such as Corviknight and Swampert crucial in order to bring it in safely.

Ogerpon-W is a threatening wallbreaker thanks to its good stats and incredible movepool, featuring high Base Power STAB moves and strong coverage options. Power Whip is the standard Grass-type STAB move of choice due to its power, but Horn Leech can be used to avoid missing and provide Ogerpon-W with healing. Knock Off can hinder switch-ins like Intimidate Corviknight and Dragonite. Play Rough stops Dragonite from being a safe switch-in, as well as surprising Roaring Moon that try to switch in with an OHKO. U-turn allows Ogerpon-W to pivot out on bad matchups like the aforementioned Intimidate Corviknight and Dragonite. Stomping Tantrum hits Water-immune foes such as Water Absorb Heatran and Desolate Land Iron Moth and Ceruledge. Primordial Sea boosts Ogerpon-W's Ivy Cudgel to absurd levels, consistently 2HKOing non-Intimidate Corviknight while also giving Ogerpon-W a Fire immunity. Sword of Ruin is an alternative option to boost the power of all of Ogerpon-W's moves, notably OHKOing physically defensive Manaphy with Power Whip. Ogerpon-W pairs well with teammates like Zamazenta and Iron Boulder that can break through non-Fluffy Corviknight. It also appreciates Stealth Rock setters like Great Tusk and Scream Tail, as they discourage Pokemon like Dragonite from switching in and help chip down defensive Pokemon. While Ogerpon-W's Speed tier is good, it can still get easily revenge killed by Pokemon like Roaring Moon, Deoxys-S, and Zamazenta, so a strong defensive core featuring teammates such as Manaphy and Corviknight is appreciated. Ogerpon-W struggles with switching in safely, so it appreciates slow pivots like the aforementioned Corviknight and Manaphy.

This is the sample set before we work on new analyses. This will be updated as the metagame continues to develop. Stay tuned!

Ogerpon-W is a strong wallbreaker on Water teams by virtue of its great Attack, which can be further boosted by Swords Dance; great Speed; a unique resistance to Ground, improving that matchup; and a selection of coverage options it can choose from. Horn Leech not only lets Ogerpon-W recover HP, but it also targets the likes of Urshifu-R, Slowbro, and Mantine, which can otherwise shrug off an Ivy Cudgel. At +2, Play Rough targets Dragon- and Fighting-types such as Kyurem, Kommo-o, and Iron Hands. After a Swords Dance boost, Superpower is great against Steel-types like Hisuian Goodra, Archaludon, and Ferrothorn; unboosted, it also OHKOes Kyurem after Stealth Rock chip. Taunt shuts down passive walls such as Toxapex, Gastrodon, and Thunder Wave Archaludon to force them out and get the opportunity to set up, while after a boost, Knock Off targets Sinistcha. Swampert provides entry hazard support to help Ogerpon-W wallbreak and pivoting with Flip Turn; its Electric immunity improves the matchup against the type, handling the likes of Zeraora, Iron Hands, and Regieleki. Empoleon and Pelipper remove hazards in Defog so that Ogerpon-W does not get worn down. Additionally, Empoleon threatens Fairy-types such as Tapu Lele and Alolan Ninetales, as well as Tornadus-T and Kyurem, while Pelipper sets up rain to boost Ogerpon-W's Ivy Cudgel, handles Grass-types like Meowscarada and Mega Venusaur, and brings it in safely with U-turn. In return, Empoleon appreciates Ogerpon-W handling Ground-types such as Great Tusk and the Landorus formes, while Pelipper appreciates the removal of Hisuian Arcanine, the Landorus formes, and Gholdengo. Choice Scarf Tapu Fini, with its amazing bulk, handles fast Fighting- and Dragon-types like Iron Valiant, Mega Lopunny, and Dragon Dance Roaring Moon and can shift its Choice Scarf to walls like Toxapex and Clodsire with Trick so Ogerpon-W can handle them more easily. Choice Specs Greninja, with its colorful coverage boosted by Protean, handles a multitude of threats like opposing Ogerpon-W, Tapu Bulu, and Mega Venusaur. When paired with Pelipper, Ogerpon-W's wallbreaking opens up the door for rain-boosted sweepers and cleaners such as Mega Swampert and Barraskewda.

This set's write-up has not started yet, but here's some basic info to get you started! 4 HP / 196 Atk / 52 Def / 4 SpD / 252 Spe with Jolly: This spread lets Embody Aspect Ogerpon-W survive both Choice Specs Flutter Mane's Tera Fairy Moonblast and Adamant Ogerpon-H's +1 Tera Fire Ivy Cudgel after Stealth Rock damage. 156 HP / 156 Atk / 4 Def / 12 SpD / 180 Spe with Adamant: This spread lets Embody Aspect Ogerpon-W survive Tera Normal Silk Scarf Ursaluna-B's Blood Moon. It also outspeeds Modest Chi-Yu and survives Adamant Urshifu's Close Combat after Stealth Rock damage.

Ogerpon-W's great support movepool and Embody Aspect's Special Defense boost give it the opportunity to face premier special attackers such as Flutter Mane, Ursaluna-B, and Gholdengo head-on. Horn Leech: Horn Leech's recovery can help maintain Ogerpon-W's defensive profile without compromising its offenses. Substitute: Substitute has great synergy alongside Ogerpon-W's other support moves, especially Leech Seed. It's also useful for blocking status moves from foes like Ursaluna-B and Archaludon. Leech Seed versus Synthesis: Due to being forced to run Wellspring Mask, Ogerpon-W misses passive recovery from items such as Leftovers, making Leech Seed a solid option for recovery. Synthesis is a more reliable recovery option at the cost of making Ogerpon-W more vulnerable to Archaludon. Encore: Locking targets into an undesirable move can discourage setup attempts and passive play and allow opportunities for healing. EV Spreads 252 HP / 4 Atk / 4 Def / 188 SpD / 60 Spe with Careful: This spread aims to maximize Ogerpon-W's special bulk, and it outspeeds Modest Gholdengo, positive Speed-natured base 70 Speed foes such as Jolly Breloom, and neutral-natured base 85 Speed foes such as Rillaboom. 236 HP / 4 Atk / 52 Def / 156 SpD / 60 Spe with Careful: If using Substitute and Leech Seed, this spread sacrifices some special bulk in exchange for letting Substitute withstand Archaludon's Dragon Tail. Embody Aspect Ogerpon-W is locked into a Water Tera type. When it Terastallizes, Water Absorb becomes Embody Aspect. This forme's Embody Aspect boosts Special Defense, making it essentially like an Assault Vest without the downsides, which can be key to taking strong hits such as those from Choice Specs Tera Fairy Flutter Mane and Tera Normal Ursaluna-B.
