[SET COMMENTS]
Ogerpon-C is an offensive redirector, keeping allies such as Miraidon and Calyrex-I safe while eliminating common foes like Ogerpon-H, Tornadus, and Chi-Yu. Ogerpon-C has an excellent matchup into Amoonguss, as it can redirect Spore. Follow Me allows Ogerpon-C to keep its partner safe. Power Whip is used to do big damage to Pokemon like Groudon and Urshifu-R while keeping Sturdy intact. Alternatively, Horn Leech can be used to sacrifice power for recovery, allowing Ogerpon-C to reactivate Sturdy, while Wood Hammer is used for a burst of damage, but it breaks Sturdy.

Pokemon like Zamazenta-C and Koraidon can wall Ogerpon-C, with the former being able to set up Iron Defense. Ogerpon-C is walled by Steel-types like Kingambit and Zacian-C, both of which can safely set up Swords Dance in front of it. Additionally, Gholdengo also walls Ogerpon-C and can set up with Nasty Plot. Due to its great ability to redirect attacks, Ogerpon-C is commonly seen on hyper offense Tailwind or Trick Room teams supporting Restricted Pokemon like Miraidon and Calyrex-I. Ogerpon-C also adds a fast mode on Trick Room teams and has great damage output while removing problematic foes like Incineroar. Some good partners for Ogerpon-C, aside from Calyrex-I and Miraidon, are Whimsicott, Tornadus, and Farigiraf. Whimsicott or Tornadus can set Tailwind for Ogerpon-C to outspeed faster Pokemon like Flutter Mane, Choice Scarf Urshifu-R, and Chi-Yu, threatening to OHKO them. Finally, Farigiraf blocks Fake Out, letting Ogerpon-C deal a lot damage; Ogerpon-C can also help Farigiraf set Trick Room thanks to Follow Me support.

[SET COMMENTS]
This is the most common Ogerpon-Cornerstone set, (it's like the only Ogerpon-C set, but even if there were multiple, that's just a weird way to introduce it. Start with something like "Ogerpon-C is a great offensive and supportive Pokemon with access to [insert what it has access to].) with Tera Rock Ivy Cudgel having a good chance to OHKO Incineroar and Calyrex-Ice (both of these are wrong; against 76 Defense incin it's a 12.5% chance to OHKO, against max HP Calyrex-I it's a 37.5% chance to OHKO.). Follow Me is a nice fit because of Sturdy allowing Ogerpon-Cornerstone to guaranteed take one hit and keep its partner safe, allowing a consistent way of getting up Trick Room. (part of this feels like dex info, would simplify to "Follow Me allows Ogerpon-C to consistently allow its partners to get Trick Room up thanks to Sturdy." up to you.) Power Whip is used to do big damage while keeping Sturdy intact, and Taunt helps against Imprison Trick Room Pokemon like Indeedee-F and Farigiraf, and also a good tool to deny Trick Room from Pokemon like Calyrex-Ice and Farigiraf. Solar Blade is a great grass STAB if paired with Torkoal. U-turn can be used on hard Trick Room teams for the slow pivot once Trick Room was set, (removed from the set.) and finally, Spiky Shield is just better Protect, able to keep Ogerpon-Cornerstone safe from Fake Out. (Obvious move.)This EV spread just maximizes Attack and Speed, because with Sturdy you don't need to worry about taking hits. (252 252 ev spreads don't need mentioning.)
Ogerpon-Cornetstone plays as an offensive redirecter, being able to output large damage and redirect opposing attacks. Being able to guarantee taking one hit is great in a format with powerful restricteds running around. Because of its excellent ability to redirect attacks, it is commonly seen on Trick Room teams. Ogerpon-Cornerstone also adds a fast mode on Trick Room teams, and has great damage output removing annoying pokemon like Incineroar and Pelipper. (what's this whole paragraph supposed to be? You should either remove it, simplify it and add it to the beggining of the analysis, or incorporate it with the teammates section.)

Ogerpon-Cornerstone does have its counterplay, because Pokemon like Zamazenta-Crowned and Koraidon can fodder it (what's this supposed to mean?), Calyrex-Ice really doesn't care about Ivy Cudgel as if it Terastalizes to water or grass and gets up Trick Room (this doesn't make much sense, at the beggining of the analysis you mention how you have a good Calyrex-I mu and now you're talking about how it loses to caly-i?), suddenly Ogerpon-Cornerstone is just a Chilling Neigh boost for Calyrex-Ice. (feels pretty unnesescary.)Ogerpon-Cornerstone cannot touch steel Steel-types, and Pokemon like Kingambit and Zacian-Crowned can just get free safely set up Swords Dances in front of it Ogerpon-Cornerstone because it resists both STABs (repeating what was said.).
Some good partners for Ogerpon-Cornerstone are Calyrex-Ice, Caly-S, (not seeing enough play. Remember to remove them when you talk about good partners. I'd also say add Incineroar.) Miraidon, and Farigiraf. Ogerpon-Cornerstone helps Calyrex-Ice get up Trick Room, Keeps Caly-S and Miraidon safe with Follow Me, and Farigiraf helps block Fake Out while Ogerpon-Cornerstone lets Farigiraf set Trick Room thanks to the combination of Follow Me and Sturdy. Ogerpon-Cornerstone can easily OHKO Ogerpon-Hearthflame, Pelipper, Tornadus, and Chi-Yu, which are common non-restricteds in the current format. (again where is this coming from? This is supposed to be the teammates and what counters paragraph, not what Ogerpon-C counters. Add this to the beggining or remove it.)

(I saw that a lot of Pokemon names were extended,

If Ogerpon-C is Adamant, both see a 80+ chance of OHKO. I haven't seen Horn Leech, but I will add that. I'm still a firm believer of Rockpon Caly-I though, so I will keep it for now.

Pretty sure adamant is the uncommon nature for Ogerpon-C, and it is the 2nd one slashed for the natures, so having a statement that doesn't apply to the most common nature doesn't seem great. Also, main reason why I said remove Caly-I from partners was because out of the 17 in Stockholm, one was used with Caly-I.

I think Adamant is more popular now, Rajan used it for sure. I guess we will see how the metagame changes. I saw that Rockpon Terapagos did good at Stockholm, maybe worth mentioning.

from what I'm seeing, it's around equal for Jolly and Adamant, still don't love the sentence.
I'd say don't have the mention of Terapagos, almost all rockpons are paired with Miraidon as their restricted (2/17 at Stockholm were with pagos while 11/17 were mirai, Labmaus shows us similar data.) If you want to you could mention it.

Ogerpon-C plays as an offensive redirector, being able to output large damage and redirect opposing attacks. Ogerpon-C can easily OHKO threats like Ogerpon-H, Pelipper, Tornadus, and Chi-Yu, which are common non-restricteds in the current format. Being able to guarantee taking one hit due to its ability Sturdy is great in a format with powerful restricteds running around. Tailwind teams are the main way that Ogerpon-C gets run, so that should be the primary archetype talked about. Trick Room is good to mention but should also be talked about as a mode on Tailwind in addition to its own archetype. Because of its excellent ability to redirect attacks, it is commonly seen on Trick Room teams. Ogerpon-C also adds a fast mode on Trick Room teams, and has great damage output removing annoying pokemon Pokemon like Incineroar and Pelipper. With Tera Rock Ivy Cudgel, Ogerpon-C has a good chance to OHKO Incineroar and Calyrex-I if Adamant. Follow Me is great because of Sturdy allowing Ogerpon-C to guaranteed take one hit and keep its partner safe, allowing for a consistent way of getting up Trick Room. Power Whip is used to do big damage while keeping Sturdy intact, and Horn Leech is there if you don't want to miss and can heal Ogerpon-C back to full health for Sturdy after taking minor chip damage.
Ogerpon-C does have its counterplay, because Pokemon like Zamazenta-C and Koraidon can setup Iron Defense and Flame Charge against it. Ogerpon-Cornerstone cannot touch Steel-types, and Pokemon like Kingambit and Zacian-C can also freely set up Swords Dance in front of it. The biggest counter though, is Choice Scarf Urshifu-RS Urshifu-R, able to cleanly pick up the OHKO through Sturdy with Surging Strikes and outspeeding. Wouldn't use the term "counter" since it doesn't take Ogerpon's Grass stab well, but otherwise this is a good mention.
Ogerpon-C has good matchups into glass cannons, like Miraidon and Chi-Yu, taking that one hit and doing massive damage back. Miraidon isn't a glass cannon, and while resisting and redirecting Electric moves is nice, the matchup isn't that good since Miraidon outspeeds it and will 1v1 it if it has to, barring a crit. Ogerpon-Cornerstone also has a good matchup into Calyrex-I that don't run Tera grass Grass, as Power Whip and Ivy Cudgel do big damage to Tera Fire or Water Calyrex-I, even having a chance to OHKO. Little unsure about this point because the matchup isn't as good in Trick Room, but it's at least a decent tool in the matchup.
Some good partners for Ogerpon-Cornerstone are Calyrex-I, Miraidon, and Farigiraf. Also talk about Tailwind setters like Whimsicott and Tornadus being useful because they allow Ogerpon to outspeed faster threats like Miraidon, Flutter Mane, and aforementioned Scarf Urshifu-R. Ogerpon-Cornerstone helps Calyrex-Ice get up Trick Room and redirect redirects opposing Amoonguss Spores, keeps Miraidon safe with Follow Me, and Farigiraf helps block Fake Out while Ogerpon-Cornerstone lets Farigiraf set Trick Room consistently with Follow Me and Sturdy. I don't know whether you're supposed to go Ogerpon-C or Ogerpon-Cornerstone, probably Ogerpon-C, but make sure it's consistent, namely in the last two paragraphs.

Ogerpon-C plays as an offensive redirector, being able to output large damage and redirect opposing attacks. Ogerpon-C can easily OHKO threats like Ogerpon-H, Pelipper, (kinda irrelevant since most are sash.)Tornadus, and Chi-Yu, which are common non-restricteds Pokemon in the current format. Being able to guarantee taking one hit due to Sturdy is great in a format with powerful restricteds running around. (unnesescary+dex info.) Because of its excellent ability to redirect attacks, it is commonly seen on hyper offensive teams with Tailwind and Trick Room modes. Hyper Offense Tailwind or Trick Room teams. Ogerpon-C also adds a fast mode on Trick Room teams, and has great damage output removing annoying pokemon like Incineroar and Pelipper. With Tera Rock Ivy Cudgel, Ogerpon-C has a good chance to OHKO Incineroar and Calyrex-I if Adamant. (You don't need any of this, also you shouldn't be talking about teammates in this paragraph.)Follow Me is great because of Sturdy allowing Ogerpon-C to guaranteed take one hit and keep since it keeps its partner safe, allowing for a consistent way of getting up Trick Room. Power Whip is used to do big damage while keeping Sturdy intact, and Horn Leech to recover Sturdy if you take some chip, (AC) while or Wood Hammer if you don't want to miss is used since it is accurate, but beware that However, Wood Hammer breaks your Sturdy.
(A lot of this paragraph just didn't add anything to the analysis and was in the wrong area.)
Ogerpon-C does have its counterplay, because Pokemon like Zamazenta-C and Koraidon can setup Iron Defense and Flame Charge against it. (I don't love this here, korai just walls ogerpon-c and 2hko's it that's why it's a check.) Ogerpon-Cornerstone cannot touch Steel-types with its STAB moves, and Pokemon like Kingambit and Zacian-C can also freely safely set up Swords Dance in front of it. Another big counter is Choice Scarf Urshifu-R, since it is able to cleanly outspeed and OHKO it pick up the OHKO through Sturdy with Surging Strikes and outspeeding.
Ogerpon-C has good matchups into frail but strong Pokemon, like Ogerpon-H and Chi-Yu, taking that one hit and doing massive damage back. Ogerpon-C also has a good matchup into Calyrex-I that don't run Tera Grass, as Power Whip and Ivy Cudgel do big damage to Tera Fire or Water Calyrex-I, even having a chance to OHKO. (why is this here? Could you please reread the analysis format? The second paragraph is supposed to be about what checks Ogerpon-C and good teammates for Ogerpon-C, not what Ogerpon-C checks.)
Some good partners for Ogerpon-C are Calyrex-I, Miraidon, Whimsicott, Tornadus, and Farigiraf. Ogerpon-C helps Calyrex-I get up Trick Room and redirects opposing Amoonguss Spores, keeps Miraidon safe with Follow Me, Whimsicott and Tornadus set Tailwind letting Ogerpon-C outspeed Pokemon like Urshifu-R, and Farigiraf helps block Fake Out while Ogerpon-C lets Farigiraf set Trick Room consistently with Follow Me and Sturdy. (could you try to remake this paragraph? It just doesn't work properly. You're just jumping from one thing to the next with small explanations when you could make them longer. For example, give calyrex-I a sentence, Miraidon a sentence, whimsicott and torn a sentence, and farigiraf a sentence, not just all of them in 1 sentence. Luna's Bulky Attacker Urshifu-R had a good 2nd paragraph, read it for a feel of how they should look.)
(finally, could you look at some other analysis's for how the format is supposed to look? In the the analysis format, the first 5 bullets are supposed to be in 1 paragraph, while the other 2 are supposed to be in the next, not like how you did it. Please follow what the analysis format says and do not add things to places where they are not supposed to be. Again, please make sure you follow it.)

Ogerpon-C plays as an offensive redirector, being able to deal decent damage and redirect opposing attacks. With the redirection, Ogerpon-C allows its partner to setup or do big damage. Ogerpon-C can easily OHKO threats like Ogerpon-H, Tornadus, and Chi-Yu. Follow Me is great, allowing for Ogerpon-C its partner safe protecting allies such as Miraidon and Calyrex-I, while being able to easily OHKO Pokemon like Tornadus, Chi-Yu and Ogerpon-H. (you were just explaining what an offensive redirector is and the next few sentences were fluff/dex info and could be combined so I did that). Power Whip is used to do big damage (to Pokemon like?) while keeping Sturdy intact,. (RC, AP) and Alternatively, Horn Leech is can be used to heal sacrifice power in exchange for recovery, while Wood Hammer can be opted for to give Ogerpon-C access to a burst of damage. Ogerpon-C into Sturdy range if you take some chip (Ogerpon-C is not very bulky; you're either going to fall short of getting to full by a lot or just have your recovery not matter at all so I'd opt for something more diplomatic like this.), while Wood Hammer if you want to do more damage, however Wood Hammer breaks your Sturdy. (we don't normally use the word "you" so I suggest you go with something like the wording I've used above.)

Ogerpon-C does have its counterplay, because Pokemon like Zamazenta-C and Koraidon can wall it, and the former can also set up setup Iron Defense or wall it in front of it. Ogerpon-C is also walled by other Steel-types, and Pokemon like Kingambit and Zacian-C, both of which can also safely set up Swords Dance in front of it. (not sure about these two sentences because not only is Zamazenta-C also a Steel-type, but also the second sentence is basically dex info. However, as a form of respect for the writer's original voice, I'll keep them in.) Additionally, Gholdengo also just (formal) walls it and gets and can set up free Nasty Plots for free. (sounds more formal) Because of its excellent (really?) ability to redirect attacks, it Ogerpon-C is commonly seen on Hyper Offense Tailwind or Trick Room teams utilizing Restricted Pokemon like Miraidon and Calyrex-I, respectively. Ogerpon-C also adds a fast mode on Trick Room teams, and has great damage output, (AC) removing annoying pokemon problematic Pokemon like Incineroar. (again, formal. GP would have picked this up otherwise.) Some good partners for Ogerpon-C apart from Miraidon and Calyrex-I are Calyrex-I, Miraidon, Whimsicott, Tornadus, and Farigiraf. Ogerpon-C helps Calyrex-I get up Trick Room and redirects opposing Amoonguss Spores, helping Calyrex-I sweep. Miraidon appreciates the Follow Me support keeping it healthy.

Adittionally Additionally, Gholdengo also walls it Ogerpon-C and can setup set up with Nasty Plot. (This just feels like you're listing a bunch of Steel-types that can set up on Ogerpon-C. That could be an additional point to talk about if QC approves.) Because of Due to its great ability to redirect attacks, Ogerpon-C is commonly seen on Hyper Offense hyper offense Tailwind or Trick Room teams, (AC) supporting Restricteds Restricted Pokemon like Miraidon and Calyrex-I. Ogerpon-C also adds a fast mode on Trick Room teams (RC) and has great damage output while removing problematic Pokemon foes like Incineroar. Some good partners for Ogerpon-C, (AC) aside from Calyrex-I and Miraidon, (AC) are Whimsicott, Tornadus, and Farigiraf. Whimsicott or and Tornadus can set Tailwind for Ogerpon-C to outspeed faster Pokemon like Flutter Mane, Choice Scarf Urshifu-R, and Chi-Yu, threatening to OHKO them. Finally, Farigiraf blocks Fake Out, (AC) letting Ogerpon-C deal big a lot of (More variety in describing "a lot of damage") damage; (ASC) Ogerpon-C can or help Farigiraf it set Trick Room thanks to the Follow Me support. (Modified the structure so that the first part of the sentence describes how Farig helps Rockpon and the second part describes how Rockpon helps Farig.)
