With the release of the Teal Mask DLC, Ogerpon-W has made quite the splash in the OU metagame! It really has all the tools it needs and then some, being a fast Water-immune Pokemon with a high Attack stat while also having a solid movepool. Ivy Cudgel and Power Whip are powerful STAB moves that have few resistances, with the latter used mainly to hit Water-types and Tera Water Pokemon that might try to come in to pivot, such as Dondozo and Gliscor. Swords Dance helps Ogerpon-W dismantle fatter teams, notably having a roll to KO physically defensive Toxapex with +2 Power Whip after Stealth Rock. Play Rough hits Dragon-types and Tera Dragon Pokemon, including Dragonite and Manaphy. Knock Off is used to remove high-value items, namely Heavy-Duty Boots. However, you can't talk about Ogerpon-W without mentioning its Tera Ability, Embody Aspect! Embody Aspect is an ability granted after Terastallization that raises its Special Defense by 1; this can be used to get the one up on common special attackers that outpace it like Iron Moth and Dragapult in a pinch. Ogerpon-W can fit on all sorts of archetypes, being usable on everything from hyper offense to balance teams.
