[SET COMMENTS]

Ogerpon-H functions as an offensive Pokemon that can support its team in a pinch with Follow Me. Wood Hammer and Grassy Glide threaten Water-types such as Urshifu-R and Pelipper, which would otherwise resist Ivy Cudgel. Ogerpon-H has a good matchup into Grass-types such as Amoonguss and Rillaboom, since it can threaten both of them with Ivy Cudgel and redirect Spore and Grass-type STAB moves from the two. Wood Hammer is used to maximize damage output, OHKOing Urshifu-R and Flutter Mane, and Grassy Glide is used for priority in Grassy Terrain. Follow Me is used to allow its partner to set up, redirect attacks in a pinch, and redirect Spore from Amoonguss, while Swords Dance is used to allow Ogerpon-H to set up and sweep with Ivy Cudgel and priority Grassy Glide.

Ogerpon-H appreciates partners that can help enable its damage output. Some of the best partners for Ogerpon-H are Koraidon, Groudon, and Rillaboom. Both Koraidon and Groudon set up sun, allowing Ogerpon-H to deal massive damage with sun-boosted Ivy Cudgel. Rillaboom offers Fake Out support for Ogerpon-H, giving it free turns to set up Swords Dance and sweep. Rillaboom also sets up Grassy Terrain when it switches in, enabling priority Grassy Glide. Incineroar is Ogerpon-H's main check, as Incineroar is able to switch into all of Ogerpon-H's attacks, while also reducing its damage output with Intimidate. Dragon-types such as Koraidon and Raging Bolt are also nuisances to Ogerpon-H, since they wall it and can safely attack it or set up with Swords Dance and Calm Mind, respectively.

Paragraph 1
- This set allows Ogerpon-H to function as an offensive Pokemon that can support its team in a pinch with Follow Me. It can also deal super effective damage with Grass-type STAB moves into Water-types that would otherwise counter Fire-Types (repeating dex info, better to say something like "Wood hammer threatens water-types such as [common water type] that would otherwise resist ivy cudgel" or just say Wood Hammer and Ivy Cudgel have good coverage together) . It has a good matchup into Grass-types such as Amoonguss and Rillaboom, since it can OHKO kill both of them with Ivy Cudgel, and redirect Spore from the former.
- Ivy Cudgel is used since it is a strong all around stab move and is the only available Fire-type STAB move for Ogerpon-H, Wood Hammer is used since it is the strongest Grass-Type STAB move Ogerpon-H learns to maximize damage output (phrase this how you want, no need to regurgitate dex info though), and Grassy Glide is used for priority in Grassy Terrain (mention it in the set then). Follow Me is used to allow its partner to set up, redirect attacks in a pinch, and redirect Spore from Amoonguss, while Swords Dance is used to allow it to set up and sweep with Ivy Cudgel and Grassy Glide. (Once again, mention it)

Paragraph 2
- This Ogerpon-H set appreciates partners that help it setup and partners that allow it to deal more damage (this is only for Swords Dance variants, are you sure you want to make it as a general statement?). Some of the best partners for it are Koraidon, Groudon, and Rillaboom. Both Koraidon and Groudon set up the sun, allowing Ogerpon-H to deal massive damage with Sun boosted Ivy Cudgel. Rillaboom offers Fake Out support for Ogerpon-H, giving it free turns to set up Swords Dance and sweep. Rillaboom also sets up Grassy Terrain when it swaps in, enabling priority Grassy Glide.
- Incineroar is the main check for this Ogerpon-H set. Incineroar is able to switch-in to all of Ogerpon-H's attacks, and it slows down its damage output with Intimidate. Dragon-types such as Koraidon and Raging Bolt are also nuisances to Ogerpon-H, since they wall Ogerpon-H and can freely attack it or set up with Swords Dance and Calm Mind respectively.

Paragraph 1
- This set allows Ogerpon-H to function as an offensive Pokemon that can support its team in a pinch with Follow Me. It can also deal super effective damage with Grass-type STAB moves into Water-types that would otherwise counter Fire-Types. (repeating type chart, if you want to include it talk about the offensive type coverage of fire/grass tho - you speak a little about this later) It has a good matchup into Grass-types such as Amoonguss and Rillaboom, since it can kill both of them with Ivy Cudgel, and redirect Spore from the former. (again kinda repeating the type chart, i would cut down to something like: Ogerpon-H threatens (OHKO? - common amoonguss spreads 236 236+ survive ivy cudgel without tera) Rillaboom and Amoonguss, while it's grass typing makes it immune to Spore.
- Ivy Cudgel is used since it is a strong all around stab move (odd wording imo - also not sure you need to explain why ivy cudgel is used in particular) and is the only availabe Fire-type STAB move for Ogerpon-H, Wood Hammer is used since it is the strongest Grass-Type STAB move Ogerpon-H learns (any KOs it picks up thanks to wood hammer over horn leach? - maybe kyogre?), and while Grassy Glide is can be used for priority in Grassy Terrain. Follow Me is used to allow its partner to set up, redirect attacks in a pinch, and redirect Spore from Amoonguss (is this that relevant - it threatens OHKO on amoonguss even when tera water, I can only see it being used as a case in trick room - even then it prob only buys a turn and is a more niche case that isnt worth mentioning), while Swords Dance is can be used to allow it to set up and sweep with Ivy Cudgel and Grassy Glide.

Paragraph 2
- This Ogerpon-H set appreciates partners that help it setup and partners that allow it to deal more damage. (the sd sets and follow me sets play kinda differently, I think it's worth mentioning both but try not to convolute the two - I think it's worth focusing on the follow me set as that is the main set. Easiest just to cut the first sentence and get straight into talking about good partners). Some of the best partners for it are Koraidon, Groudon, and Rillaboom (cutting down). Both Koraidon and Groudon are good partners as they set up the sun, allowing Ogerpon-H to deal massive damage with Sun boosted Ivy Cudgel. Rillaboom is also a good partner as offers Fake Out support for Ogerpon-H, giving it free turns (not free as there is another pokemon) helps to set up Swords Dance and sweep. Rillaboom also sets up Grassy Terrain when it swaps in, enabling priority Grassy Glide.
- Incineroar is the Ogerpon-H's main check for this Ogerpon-H set. Incineroar as it is able to switch-in to all of Ogerpon-H's attacks, and it slows down reduces its damage output with Intimidate. Dragon-types such as Koraidon and Raging Bolt are also nuisances to Ogerpon-H, since they wall resist Ogerpon-H (they dont wall as Ogerpon-H can still do damage +1 252 Atk Tera-Fire Ogerpon-Hearthflame Ivy Cudgel (1.2x Mask Boost) vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Koraidon in Sun: 130-153 (73.8 - 86.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO) and can freely (again not "free" - maybe reword) attack it or set up with Swords Dance and Calm Mind respectively.

This set allows Ogerpon-H to function as an offensive Pokemon that can support its team in a pinch with Follow Me.

It Ogerpon-H has a good matchup into Grass-types such as Amoonguss and Rillaboom, since it can threaten both of them with Ivy Cudgel, and redirect Spore from the former and Grass STAB from the two. Ivy Cudgel is used since it is the only available Fire-type STAB move for Ogerpon-H, (Redirecting Wood Hammer/Grassy Glide is really important, Ivy Cudgel is dex info.) Wood Hammer is used to maximize damage output, OHKOing Urshifu-R and Flutter Mane (One of the most important things Wood Hammer provides.), and Grassy Glide is used for priority in Grassy Terrain. Follow Me is used to allow its partner to set up, redirect attacks in a pinch, and redirect Spore from Amoonguss, while Swords Dance is used to allow it Ogerpon-H to set up and sweep with Ivy Cudgel and priority Grassy Glide. (Good to make it sound less like dex info, by bringing up how it takes advantage of passive turns, I doubt Ogerpon is sweeping with 55 BP move.)
