[SET COMMENTS]
Ogerpon-H is an invaluable asset on Grass teams. With Swords Dance and the damage bonus from Hearthflame Mask, Ogerpon-H serves as a strong wallbreaker, and its Fire typing also gives Grass teams a hand in both the Steel and Ice matchups. Aside from this, its access to Mold Breaker allows it to bypass abilities such as Heatran's Flash Fire, Dondozo's Unaware, and Dragonite's Multiscale. With Hearthflame Mask, Ivy Cudgel turns into a powerful Fire-type move, and combined with its Speed, Ogerpon-H is able to beat the likes of Alolan Ninetales and Corviknight before a Swords Dance boost, as well as Hisuian Goodra after. Horn Leech grants Ogerpon-H some form of longevity. Play Rough allows Ogerpon-H to threaten the likes of Kommo-o, and after a Swords Dance Boost, it can 2HKO Dragonite. Alternatively, Trailblaze gives Ogerpon-H potential as a sweeper. After one Trailblaze, Ogerpon-H outspeeds the likes of Chien-Pao and Choice Specs Greninja. Lastly, with Zen Headbutt, Ogerpon-H can surprise would-be switch-ins such as Toxapex, Clodsire, and Iron Moth.

Entry hazard support from the likes of Brambleghast and Toedscruel is appreciated to wear down foes into OHKO range from Ogerpon-H. Notably, Ogerpon-H has a chance to OHKO Kingambit with one layer of Spikes. The two of them also have access to Rapid Spin, allowing them to remove hazards so that Ogerpon-H has more opportunities to switch in without getting worn down. Toedscruel can also take Fire-type attacks from Iron Moth and KO it back, while Brambleghast can switch into a predicted Flying-type move as well as revenge kill Flutter Mane with Shadow Sneak. Amoonguss is another great teammate, as its bulk and access to Spore allow it to either incapacitate or force out foes such as Dragonite. Choice Scarf Meowscarada outspeeds and removes potential threats to Ogerpon-H like Spectrier and faster Dragon-types, and it can bring Ogerpon-H in safely. Ogerpon-H's wallbreaking enables sweepers such as Hisuian Liligant and Torterra. In return, the two of them can handle foes Ogerpon-H struggles with, such as Landorus for the former and Toxapex for the latter. Rillaboom is a great revenge killer and wallbreaker to pair with Ogerpon-H, as with Grassy Glide, it can remove faster threats such as Flutter Mane and Hoopa-U. Aside from this, Rillaboom also provides Grassy Terrain to boost the power of Ogerpon-H's Grass-type moves. In return, Rillaboom appreciates Ogerpon-H removing foes Rillaboom struggles with such as Corviknight and Articuno. Breloom is another great teammate, as due to its Fighting typing and access to Mach Punch, it can easily deal with Kingambit. Lastly, Abomasnow has some niche as a teammate, as it can set up Aurora Veil to make Ogerpon-H and its teammates harder to KO.

Other Options
=============
Knock Off can be used in order to provide coverage against Skeledirge while also removing key items such as Heavy-Duty Boots from the likes of Dragonite and Pelipper. Power Whip with Rillaboom support can be used to OHKO Toxapex with Grassy Terrain and minimal chip damage.

Ogerpon-H is an invaluable asset on Grass teams. With Swords Dance, Ogerpon-H serves as a strong wallbreaker, further amplified due to the damage bonus from Hearthflame Mask. Its Fire-typing also allows Ogerpon-H to give Grass teams a hand in both the Steel and Ice matchups. With Hearthflame Mask, Ivy Cudgel turns into a powerful Fire-type move, and combined with its Speed, Ogerpon-H is able to beat the likes of Alolan Ninetales and Corviknight without a Swords Dance boost, as well as Hisuian Goodra after a Swords Dance boost. Horn Leech grants Ogerpon-H access to some form of longevity. Play Rough allows Ogerpon-H to threaten the likes of Kommo-o and (its the only mon that kills Multiscale Dnite [at +2 tho]) Hex Dragapult. Alternatively, Trailblaze can also be used to give Ogerpon-H potential as a sweeper. After one Trailblaze, Ogerpon-H outspeeds the likes of Flutter Mane and Iron Valiant (Chien-Pao and specs Gren too, more importantly).
note somewhere that Mold Breaker itself is pretty unique, letting you bypass threats like Flash Fire Heatran, unaware dozo, and multiscale dnite

Entry hazard support from the likes of Brambleghast and Toedscruel is appreciated by Ogerpon-H, as their hazards can wear down foes into OHKO range from Ogerpon-H. Notably, Ogerpon-H OHKOes Dragapult (you probably dont wanna combat pult) and potentially Kingambit with one layer of Spikes. The two of them also have access to Rapid Spin, allowing them to remove hazards so that Ogerpon-H has more opportunities to switch in without getting worn down (toeds also can take special fire attacks and kill them, like Moth, while Bramb stumps Hurricaners and can potentially revenge-kill FM because stronk shadow sneak). Amoonguss is another great teammate, as with its bulk and access to Spore, it can either incapacitate or force out foes such as Dragonite and Kingambit (doesnt really since Kingambit can kill it, but you can choose some other target). Rillaboom is a great revenge killer and wallbreaker to pair with Ogerpon-H, as with Grassy Glide, Rillaboom can remove faster threats such as Flutter Mane and Hoopa-U (move this mon down, below scarf meow/Breloom/H.Lili). Aside from this, Rillaboom also provides Grassy Terrain to boost the power of Ogerpon-H's Grass-type moves. In return, Rillaboom appreciates Ogerpon-H removing foes Rillaboom struggles with such as Corviknight and Articuno. Choice Scarf Meowscarada outspeeds and removes potential threats to Ogerpon-H like Iron Valiant, and it can bring Ogerpon-H in safely (deals with a lot of dragons too). Lastly, Ogerpon-H's wallbreaking enables sweepers such as Hisuian Liligant and Torterra. In return, the two of them can handle foes Ogerpon-H struggles with, such as Landorus for the former and Toxapex for the latter.(Add breloom, he deals with gambit because gambit can sucker punch pon to dead :(
Abomasnow is also a fair niche mention due to the screens it sets+ "beats" Chien-pao)
