Ogerpon-H is a spectacular Pokemon in Regulation G thanks to Follow Me combined with its offensive presence. Its STAB combination allows it to threaten many metagame staples, such as Rillaboom, Amoonguss, Calyrex-I, and Urshifu-R, for massive damage. Ogerpon-H prefers to use Wood Hammer to ensure OHKOs on Urshifu-R and bulky Kyogre; however, Horn Leech is used alongside the defensive sets for more survivability while still 2HKOing the aforementioned Water-types. Grassy Glide is a niche option, providing Ogerpon-H with a powerful priority move alongside Rillaboom and allowing Ogerpon-H to attack faster threats like Calyrex-S and Choice Scarf Urshifu-R before they move. The HP and Defense investment ensures that Ogerpon-H survives Tera Stellar Icicle Crash from Chien-Pao and almost always lives Tera Water Surging Strikes from Urshifu-R. The Speed EVs allow Ogerpon-H to outspeed Modest Landorus, and the rest is to maximize Attack. Ogerpon-H can use a much bulkier EV spread of 220 HP / 12 Atk / 252 Def / 4 SpD / 20 Spe with an Impish nature, which allows it to avoid the 2HKO from Chien-Pao's Ice Spinner, Calyrex-I's Glacial Lance, and Iron Hands's Quark Drive-boosted Drain Punch as well as surviving +1 Tera Fire Ivy Cudgel from opposing Ogerpon-H. The Speed investment allows Ogerpon-H to outspeed neutral-natured base 80 Speed Pokemon such as Regidrago.
Ogerpon-H especially struggles with Incineroar, which stomachs its attacks and weakens it with Intimidate and Parting Shot. Dragon-types like Raging Bolt and Roaring Moon are also problematic, taking its attacks and threatening massive damage with Draco Meteor and Acrobatics respectively. Landorus can also be threatening thanks to being able to threaten Ogerpon-H before and after it Terastallizes with Sludge Bomb and Earth Power respectively. Urshifu-R and Landorus make for excellent partners, as they threaten OHKOs on many of the aforementioned Pokemon with their STAB moves. The two also appreciate Ogerpon-H's support, as it can protect them from threatening Pokemon like Rillaboom and Chien-Pao with Follow Me. Miraidon makes excellent use of Ogerpon-H, as it appreciates Ogerpon-H threatening common checks like Rillaboom and Zacian-C with Ivy Cudgel and stomaching their attacks with Follow Me. Calyrex-I is another Restricted Pokemon that works well with Ogerpon-H, as it threatens Landorus and Raging Bolt with Glacial Lance. Calyrex-I has an easier time setting up Trick Room and dealing with disruptive status moves such as Amoonguss's Spore and Incineroar's Will-O-Wisp thanks to Ogerpon-H's Follow Me. Ogerpon-H also threatens foes that resist Glacial Lance like Zamazenta-C, Urshifu-R, and opposing Calyrex-I. Groudon also works particularly well with Ogerpon-H, threatening super effective damage on Incineroar and Raging Bolt with Precipice Blades, while bolstering Ogerpon-H's damage output with sun. Ogerpon-H can support Groudon by redirecting attacks from Rillaboom and Chien-Pao while also threatening Kyogre with its Grass-type STAB attacks, all of which are difficult matchups for Groudon. Powerful setup sweepers such as Calyex-S and Calm Mind Terapagos also make great use of Ogerpon-H. Ogerpon-H can help them set up by redirecting away powerful attacks such as Urshifu-S's Sucker Punch and Drain Punch from Iron Hands as well as disruptive moves like Amoonguss's Spore and Incineroar's Parting Shot. Ogerpon-H is also helpful offensively, as it can threaten otherwise problematic Pokemon like Chien-Pao and Urshifu-R with Ivy Cudgel and its Grass-type move of choice respectively.
