A complementary typing and a great Attack stat, especially when considering the 1.2x boost from its Wellspring Mask, give Ogerpon-W a niche as a powerful wallbreaker. Water- and Grass-type attacks hit most Pokemon for at least neutral damage, and after a Swords Dance boost, anything that doesn't resist its STAB combination is KOed. Even checks such as Baxcalibur and Tera Grass Heatran struggle to take a Swords Dance-bolstered Ivy Cudgel, and some of the stoutest walls, such as Toxapex, take heavy damage from a boosted Power Whip. Ivy Cudgel is its strongest Water-type STAB option and hits most Pokemon for neutral damage. Power Whip punishes common Water-resistant Pokemon such as Toxapex, Rotom-W, and Alomomola and is preferred to Wood Hammer despite the potential inaccuracy to avoid recoil. Horn Leech can also be used in order to supplement Ogerpon-W's longevity and let it come in more often. Trailblaze is another niche option, usually seen on Aurora Veil or dual screens hyper offense teams, boosting Ogerpon-W's Speed and allowing it to sweep. Play Rough notably hits Dragon-types that otherwise could resist Ogerpon-W's STAB combination such as Baxcalibur and Dragonite. Superpower is another great option, notably KOing Ferrothorn after a Swords Dance boost. Due to its great wallbreaking capability, setup sweepers such as Volcarona and Booster Energy Iron Valiant appreciate defensive cores being heavily weakened, allowing them to sweep. Water Absorb is a particularly useful ability prior to Terastallizing, as Ogerpon-W can find opportunities to set up on Pokemon such as Mega Swampert and Manaphy, as well as block Alomomola's Flip Turn. Ogerpon-W also appreciates entry hazards from Hisuian Samurott and Landorus-T, as the chip helps it pressure defensive cores even further. Despite all this, bulky Grass-types such as Ferrothorn, Amoonguss, and Kartana can check Ogerpon-W, so Pokemon like Iron Valiant, Mega Medicham, and Zapdos are beneficial as teammates. Ogerpon-W is also threatened by faster attackers like Iron Valiant and Mega Lopunny, so defensive pivots such as Landorus-T, Galarian Slowking, and Mega Scizor are also extremely useful. Despite being locked to Tera Water, this is actually very beneficial to Ogerpon-W, taking away its weaknesses to Flying- and Poison-type attacks and letting it stay in on threats such as Tornadus-T and Sneasler. In addition, Tera Water boosts its Ivy Cudgel to stupendous amounts, 2HKOing Ferrothorn after Stealth Rock and minimal chip at +2. The 1.5x Special Defense boost granted upon Terastallizing can also help mitigate attempts to revenge kill Ogerpon-W by foes like Choice Scarf Tapu Lele, Iron Valiant, and Choice Scarf Gholdengo.

A complementary typing and a great Attack stat, especially when considering the 1.2x boost from its mask, give Ogerpon-Wellspring a niche as a powerful wall breaker. Water and Grass hit most Pokemon for at least neutral damage, and after a Swords Dance boost, anything barring a resist is KO'd. Even resists such as Tera Grass Heatran, Baxcalibur, and Kartana, as well as defensive juggernauts such as physically defensive Toxapex and Corviknight cannot safely switch in, as they are all 2HKO'd. Even resists such as Baxcalibur and Tera Grass Heatran struggle to take a Swords Dance bolstered Ivy Cudgel. Even some of the stoutest walls, such as Toxapex, take heavy damage from a boosted Power Whip. Ivy Cudgel is its strongest Water STAB option and hits most Pokemon for neutral damage. Wood Hammer helps punish common Water resists such as Toxapex, Rotom-W, and Water Absorb Clodsire and is usually preferred to Power Whip, as missing out on KO's means that Ogerpon-Wellspring will be KO'd back due to its frailty. Power Whip punishes common Water-resistant Pokemon such as Rotom-W, Rotom-W, and Alomomola and is preferred to Wood Hammer despite the potential inaccuracy to avoid recoil. (Mathematically, Power Whip doesnt miss any KOs Wood Hammer gets as they are the same BP lol) Trailblaze is another niche option, usually seen on HO Aurora Veil/Dual Screen teams, boosting its speed and allowing it to sweep. Play Rough is used as coverage to hit common Dragon, Fighting, and Dark types such as the aforementioned Baxcalibur and Mega-Lopunny. Play Rough notably hits Dragon-types who otherwise could resist Ogerpon-W's STAB combination such as Baxcalibur and Dragonite. Knock Off can also be used, permanently crippling switch-ins. (add section about Superpower here instead, helps to break through Ferrothorn notably) Due to its great wall breaking, setup sweepers such as Volcarona, and Booster Energy Iron Valiant, appreciate taking on frailer options, as after a boost they are ready to sweep. Water Absorb is also a useful ability, as rain- and water-weak teams heavily appreciate its ability to check Floatzel, Manaphy, and Mega-Swampert, as well as wall non-Body-Press Dondozo; it does have to be careful, however, not to Terastallise before this, as it loses its Water Absorb ability. Water Absorb is a particularly useful ability prior to Terastalizing, as Ogerpon-W can find opportunities to set up on Pokemon such as Mega Swampert and Manaphy, as well blocking Alomomola's Flip Turn. Ogerpon-Wellspring also appreciates hazards from Samurott-Hisui and Lando-T, as the chip helps it pressure defensive cores even further. Despite all this, bulky grass types such as Ferrothorn, Amoonguss, and Kartana can check and cripple Ogerpon-Wellspring, so Pokemon like Iron Valiant, Mega-Medicham, and Offensive Zapdos are must-haves beneficial as teammates. Ogerpon-Wellspring is also threatened by faster attackers like Iron Valiant and Mega Lopunny, so defensive pivots such as Lando-T, Corviknight Slowking-G, and Scizor-Mega are also extremely useful. Despite being locked to Tera Water, this is actually extremely beneficial to Ogerpon-Wellspring, taking away its weaknesses to flying and poison, and boosting its Ivy Cudgel to stupendous amounts, with +2 Atk Ivy Cudgel even 2HKO'ing Ferrothorn after Stealth Rock and minimal chip. The Special Defense boost granted upon Terastalizing can also help mitigate attempts to revenge kill by Tapu Lele, Iron Valiant, and Choice Scarf Gholdengo.

wanna give this one more look before 1/1, lmk when implemented!
 
Got it, I just wanted to note one thing with Wood Hammer vs Power Whip. What I was trying to say was that due to the 85% accuracy, missing is detrimental to Ogerpon, not that it can’t KO
 
Oh got it. That’s my bad there, apologies. Power Whip should still be the superior option however imo
 
Despite all this, bulky grass types such as Ferrothorn, Amoonguss, and Kartana can check and cripple Ogerpon-Wellspring
Click to expand...

Remove "and cripple" from this

taking away its weaknesses to flying and poison
Click to expand...

Add examples afterwards such as Tornadus-T & Sneasler

QC 1/1, lovely read.

A complementary typing and a great Attack stat, especially when considering the 1.2x boost from its mask Wellspring Mask (Capitalize the name of items.), give Ogerpon-Wellspring Ogerpon-W a niche as a powerful wall breaker wallbreaker. Water- (AH) and Grass-type attacks (AH) hit most Pokemon for at least neutral damage, and after a Swords Dance boost, anything barring a resist is KO'd KOed. Even resists such as Baxcalibur and Tera Grass Heatran struggle to take a Swords Dance bolstered Ivy Cudgel. (RP) Even , (AC) while some of the stoutest walls, such as Toxapex, take heavy damage from a boosted Power Whip. (I connected the two sentences since it removes repetition from the beginning of the sentences "Even... Even...", and also connecting two points that fit together in the same sentence [boosted STABs doing too much damage].) Ivy Cudgel is its strongest Water-type STAB option and hits most Pokemon for neutral damage. Power Whip punishes common Water-resistant Pokemon such as Toxapex, Rotom-W, and Alomomola and is preferred to Wood Hammer despite the potential inaccuracy to avoid recoil. (You put Horn Leech as one of the attacks that Oger wants to use, but don't actually talk about it here. Just something I'd noticed.) Trailblaze is another niche option, usually seen on HO Aurora Veil/Dual Screen Aurora Veil or dual screens hyper offense teams, boosting its speed Speed and allowing it to sweep. Play Rough notably hits Dragon-types who that otherwise could resist Ogerpon-W's STAB combination such as Baxcalibur and Dragonite. Superpower is another great option, notably KO'ing (RA) Ferrothorn after a Swords Dance Boost boost. Due to its great wall breaking wallbreaking capability, setup sweepers such as Volcarona, (RC) and Booster Energy Iron Valiant, (RC) appreciate taking on frailer options, as after a boost they are ready to sweep. (It's not entirely clear to me what you're trying to say here. Are you suggesting that these sweepers appreciate Oger weakening checks for Volc/IV to sweep after only 1 boost?) Water Absorb is a particularly useful ability prior to Terastalizing Terastallizing, as Ogerpon-W can find opportunities to set up on Pokemon such as Mega Swampert and Manaphy, as well as blocking Alomomola's Flip Turn. Ogerpon-Wellspring Ogerpon-W also appreciates entry hazards from Samurott-Hisui Hisuian Samurott and Lando-T Landorus-T, as the chip helps it pressure defensive cores even further. Despite all this, bulky grass types Grass-types such as Ferrothorn, Amoonguss, and Kartana can check Ogerpon-Wellspring Ogerpon-W, so Pokemon like Iron Valiant, Mega-Medicham Mega Medicham, and Zapdos are beneficial as teammates.

(RC, AP) and boosting In addition, Tera Water boosts its Ivy Cudgel to stupendous amounts, 2HKOing Ferrothorn after Stealth Rock and minimal chip at +2. with +2 Atk Ivy Cudgel even 2HKO'ing Ferrothorn after Stealth Rock and minimal chip. (I split the Tera Water sentence into multiple sentences so that the idea didn't seem like it was running too long. Also, I reconfigured the Ferrothorn part so that it fit once the sentences got split.) The 1.5x Special Defense boost granted upon Terastalizing Terastallizing can also help mitigate attempts to revenge kill Ogerpon-Wellspring Ogerpon-W by foes like Choice Scarf Tapu Lele, Iron Valiant, and Choice Scarf Gholdengo.

1/1 GP Team done, credit grabby as well
you missed some of the changes from above, so i'd recommend using this method to implement checks (point 3)
