First I add Rillaboom and regular ogerpon. I feel regular ogerpon seem to have largest instant offensive power especially with choice band available. The idea is to find opportunity to get ogerpon in to threaten choice band boosted ivy cudgel in terrain, and knock off whenever applicable also.
Then I add cinderace and empoleon to take advantage of grassy terrain and as a form of hazard setting and control. Cinderace counters the super common ninetale-a in current HO oriented metagame and either stops veil or makes both sides in veil. You can also sometimes court change again after they switch out to ensure your veil is longer. If ninetales is hypnosis, then it may be better to maybe run taunt over u-turn?
Empoleon is there to threaten stuff like moltres or common ground types like clod (ideally in terrain) out while either getting rocks or flip turning into dmg dealer like ace or ogerpon for momentum
Then I added garg to handle the common setup sweeper like baxcalibur or kingambit. So far I chose tera water but in recent games many people have used ogerpon or grass offense eg shell smash torterra. So maybe tera fairy is better, or adding a bit more investment into def to survive those hits?
Finally, I added zapdos as otherwise my team gets destroyed by fighting types. It also is safest switchin to tusk and some other very common threats like ogerpon fire. Its also the best flying type I can find for the team, which is very valuable if I cannot get terrain up
Theres multiple win cons in the team. So you can chip the opponent into ogerpon range then finish with high speed priority grassy glide if needed, but mostly with the much more powerful ivy cudgel. Or you can also whittle down enemies with burns then stall them out with garg. Rillaboom is there mostly to setup terrain but I chose max attack so it also wont allow opponent to setup on it as easily. Most of the time its switching out and back in when I need terrain again.
Thoughts on the team and how to improve? Thanks! Ideally I want to keep the rilla oger combo since it remind me of koko+ eleki which I had fun with in gen8. If its doesnt work out though please let me know also. Thanks!
