Ogerpon (F) @ Scope Lens
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Grass
Jolly Nature
- Ivy Cudgel
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Encore
Ogerpon serves as a strong offensive pivot thanks to U-turn alongside high Attack, a decent Speed tier, and Encore. Ivy Cudgel is a strong STAB move that threatens defensive Pokemon like Alomomola and Garganacl with 2HKOs; giving Ogerpon a Scope Lens increases the chance for Ivy Cudgel to land a critical hit to 50%. Knock Off can deter potential switch-ins like Dragonite and Cinderace by removing their Heavy-Duty Boots, making them easier for teammates to break through. Encore allows Ogerpon to lock foes into non-damaging moves, such as Roost, and potentially force the foe to switch out. Ogerpon can only Terastallize to Tera Grass, giving it a Speed boost thanks to Embody Aspect, which makes Encore stronger as Ogerpon can lock faster threats like Zamazenta and Gouging Fire even after a Dragon Dance. Ogerpon struggles to make progress against Fire- and Dragon-types like Gouging Fire and Dragonite, and appreciates allies like Great Tusk and Primarina that can better handle them. Physically defensive Flying-types like Skarmory and Corviknight easily wall Ogerpon, so specially offensive teammates like Kyurem and Deoxys-S that can remove them are necessary.
