[SET COMMENTS]
Okidogi serves Poison teams as a valuable win condition thanks to Bulk Up enabling it to crush types such as Steel and Dark late-game. Drain Punch enables Okidogi to stay healthy while dealing with threats such as Ting-Lu, Bisharp, and Heatran. Knock Off provides solid coverage, hitting Psychic- and Ghost-types like Galarian Slowking and Mega Sableye along with removing annoying held items like Skarmory's Rocky Helmet. Substitute allows Okidogi to safely set up in front of threats such as Sableye and Hisuian Goodra. The first EV spread enables Okidogi to outspeed Jolly Ursaluna and Modest Magnezone while maximizing its special bulk to comfortably take on the likes of Heatran and Kyurem; it also lets Okidogi survive Choice Band Excadrill's Earthquake after a Bulk Up. The second set trades a bit of special bulk while enabling it to outspeed Adamant Bisharp and Modest Volcanion. Alolan Muk is an essential teammate, being able to remove the Psychic- and Ghost-types that majorly threaten Okidogi such as Tapu Lele, Alolan Raichu, and Blacephalon. Toxapex can handle physical attackers such as Mega Scizor, Cinderace, and Barraskewda along with being able to burn foes with Scald, enabling Okidogi to easily set up on physical attackers like Ting-Lu and Corviknight. Mega Venusaur provides Leech Seed support to give Okidogi an easier time getting in and setting up along with handling Ground- and Water-types like Landorus-T, Mamoswine, and Urshifu-R. Galarian Slowking can set Future Sight to pressure checks such as Great Tusk and can bring Okidogi in safely with Chilly Reception. Choice Scarf Nihilego provides incredible speed control, being able to check threats like Tornadus-T, Volcarona, and Kommo-o along with removing Landorus with Hidden Power Ice. Nidoking can obliterate the physically defensive walls wishing to take on Okidogi such as Iron Defense Skarmory, Pecharunt, and Gliscor and in return appreciates Okidogi removing special walls like Blissey and Ting-Lu.
