Ogerpon-H is a fantastic wallbreaker thanks to its strong STAB moves, hitting metagame staples like Corviknight and Manaphy, as well as its good movepool, featuring strong coverage options. Power Whip is the standard option to maximise damage, but Horn Leech can be used to eliminate the miss chance and provide healing to offset damage. Knock Off can remove Heavy-Duty Boots and Leftovers from switch-ins like Dragonite, Zapdos, and Well-Baked Body Corviknight, as well as threatening Well-Baked Body Gholdengo. Play Rough hits Dragon-types like Dragonite and Roaring Moon, stopping them from switching in. U-turn allows Ogerpon to pivot out on bad matchups such as Primordial Sea Zapdos, generating momentum for the team. Stomping Tantrum OHKOs Iron Moth and Heatran, as well as hitting Well-Baked Body Gholdengo and Kingambit. Desolate Land gives a huge damage boost to Ogerpon-H's Ivy Cudgel, letting it 2HKO Iron Hands, while also blocking Swampert and Primarina's Flip Turn. Sword of Ruin is an alternative option to boost the power of all of Ogerpon-H's moves, allowing it to OHKO physically defensive Manaphy and offensive Great Tusk, while also boosting its bulk against other Sword of Ruin users, living a Choice Band Chien-Pao Icicle Crash and a Roaring Moon Outrage. Ogerpon-H hates taking Stealth Rock damage as it severely limits the amount of times it can switch in, so entry hazard removers like Corviknight and Great Tusk are appreciated. Additionally, slow pivots such as Manaphy and the aforementioned Corviknight can help Ogerpon-H switch in safely. Teammates like Roaring Moon can bait in foes like Corviknight and Great Tusk and pivot on them to give Ogerpon-H opportunites to wallbreak.
