Something I'm surprised you didn't mention. Not only does 100 base power ivy cudgel not have a drawback, but it also has increased crit rate.

We're only just in the part 1 of the DLC yet Ogerpon is already bonking the competitive scene in 4 colors. 💀

It makes sense that Ogerpon is so powerful, she canonically KILLED the loyal 3, who resist and are super effective against grass, with only the Teal Mask

Ogrepon.. The Pokemon that Tinkaton wishes it could be.

Let's also not forget 3 of the 4 masks works even better in weather, Water mask in rain can now do more damage, Rock mask in sandstorm now has both a +1 def boosts from tera and the sandstorm sp.def increase, and then Fire mask in sun just nukes whatever in front of her

Ogerpon is one spore away from having every single good grass moves.

But she’s a cutie patootie

Ogrepon’s attack stat is Base 120 not 110. Upon initial stat reveal at 2:42 both Attack and Speed are listed as 110 but the Attack bar is longer and a darker shade of green.

I don’t know how relevant this is in VGC, but I believe you forgot to mention that Ivy Cudgel is a non-contact move, so you get to ignore things like rocky helmet, rough skin, poison point, static, and flame body

I really love when they add busted Pokémon like this. Yeah she’s totally cracked, but there’s so much variety in the way you can play with ogerpon. It’s not just “put it on your team or you won’t win” there’s some choice there when choosing things like her mask/typing

I’m just happy we’ve finally got an offense-oriented busted Grass type. And in such a cute little friend too.

Can't believe Wolfy forgot to mention that ogerpon is so cute the player doesn't want to hurt it with attacks

Seeing how strong Ogerpon is makes me wonder how powerful Terapagos will be when the Indigo Disk releases. Edit Update: as of 12/16/2023, Terapagos just got unanimously banned from Smogon OU. I can't wait to see this Terastal Turtle terrorize VCG if it's ever allowed.

Tinkaton trotted so Ogerpon could sprint

Correction: Ogerpon has 120 attack, not 110

I would have liked the ability Rock Head better for its Rock Mask. Wood Hammer with no drawbacks would have been amazing!

There should be a sign in the next few tournaments: Beware! Ogerbonk ahead

Pretty sure Ogerpon is exactly the type of Pokemon to have that move since it's whole life it wanted Attention. Half of the story in Teal Mask was about Ogerpon wanting to be followed and seen.

Maybe I’m wrong but it feels like Ogerpon will be the new Lando T rather than the new zacian. Just very splashable and needs to be considered rather than an overwhelming threat your whole team has to be built around.

Editing is fantastic, big shoutout to the editors. 👏 great video Wolfey 😄

Ogerpon is _easily_ the *most* customizable Pokémon to have been introduced, and I honestly love that for it (even if I hate how broken it is). Maybe it would've been better for it's stats to not have been as insane but still useable?

While I agree that Orgepon is too strong, I do really like the concept of having Legendary Pokemon a high skill-ceiling, forcing players to play smart when using the Pokemon at highest potential vs non-Legendary Pokemon where not as strong but easier to use by most people. Kinda wish they did this with all Legendary Pokemon tbh since it made sense to me that they would be harder to use due to how strong they are compared to non-Legendary Pokemon.

Fun fact- Jolly Tera Grass Ogrepon under tailwind has 700 Speed. Ivy Cudgel also has increased crit rate. It one shot most fluttermane variants BEFORE the swords dance as well, and one shot almost any bulky non-resist after. And don't forget, try to focus it and she might Spiky Shield :D

Ogerpon is such a funny pokemon, glad to see its doing well.

It's amazing how this is basically the first pokemon where every single choice, every step of the way, every little decision you make about this mon leaves some other possibility on the table.

Doesn't matter, Ogerpon is the cutest legendary ever released 🥺. Protec her

I didnt even know the masks boosted her damage by 20%

Ogerpon is absolutely amazing, especially in double battle gimmicks

I love the little animation of your illustrations in this video. It feels as if im watching a battle simulation what if scenatio as the abilities, moves and types were being explained.

Hey, she deserves it! First, shes not NEARLY as busted as urshifu was, and shes also the absolute most adorable thing, so she gets a pass! She can be as broken as she wants to be, and no one is allowed to complain, shes just too precious! Also, so i feel the two best ones are easily base and fire. Basic form is best for pure offensive power, you can run life orb for an extra 10% power over the other forms, or even choice band for even MORE power but less versatility, but i would say life orb and swords dance are best, plus you can run adamant nature on her, because if you are going to be outsped, you can just terastalyze, and now you have free choice scarf to shore up your speed tier. Grass has the highest possible damage output of the forms, more incentive to run swords dance over the others, and is less reliant on tera to be good, you can hold off on it for mixups. Fire is definitely also very strong, but it has a much bigger crutch, in that it NEEDS to terastalyze to really do its damage. It pretty much requires that attack boost to be on par with grass form, and since you have that attack boost that youre pretty mucch always going to be using, you have less reason to use a swords dance set, which means it can be online faster, a more immediate threat, but with the downside that you basically need to always run jolly nature, lest you be outsped and stopped in your tracks. It does have the bonus coverage tho, which is truly insane as a free add on. While i think the idea of the other two, with follow me and whatnot, i just dont think its very good. It just doesnt have the defensive stats that youre really gunna want to use either of its other forms, least of all wanting to use your tera on them, and her attack and speed arent outrageous enough to really try for a bully attacker set on her, because she simply doesnt have the needed bulk without full investment, but with zero investment her speed and attack arent really competitive enough to matter. Thats my thoughts on the matter.

At least you get to see which type it is in team preview. This also tells you the item for 3 of the 4 types. Meanwhile, Urshifu typing is still unknown in team preview despite it being the most oppressive mon in the game with being unable to protect in front of it

Your knowledge has what led me into develop interest in competitive battling

This video is so well made, props to the editor who did a fantastic job. I loved all the little animations, graphics and sound effects

I can imagine Rock Ogrepon would work well in a sand team, since you get a Defense Boost when Tera and a Sp Defense under sand

The stone mask could be useful in sandstorm. The boost of spdef is nice, the boost in def when tera synergizes well with it. Paired with something like Hippodown who checks steel types and can yawn while Ogerpon uses follow me, it could be interesting

Ogernpon is so damn cute and also with how cute it is in the story I think everyone SHOULD be using it in competitive! It deserves to be used by everyone :3

With the introduction of such a competitively complex pokemon, I'd love to see you go back in time and talk about a pokemon in a past meta that had similar kinds of intricacies like togekiss. One example is how thunderus was adapted into the vgc meta game before and after the introduction of therian and the kinds of innovations that were discovered

As always, amazing editing to accompany a clear and concise breakdown. Good shit Wolfe!

Your editor is working wonders. Great content Wolfey

They kind of overdid how powerful they made Ogerpon, but her customization makes her super interesting. I would love to see similar innovative ideas for future Pokémon.

HOLLY MOLLY.

Editing was on 🔥 in this video. Very enjoyable to watch. Ogerpon is also ridiculous in singles and the Hearthflame mask got quick banned in OU very fast 😅

the amount of edits and how you explain everything is top notch! really proud to be a sub

I personally really like ogerpon. To be honest it doesn't feel that more broken than other powerful stuff like lando-t, hands, urshi, cress and flutter, but I do think it is a really cool pokemon to have in this meta. There will always be pokemon stronger than others and I feel having ogerpon on top is maybe the most fun pokemon that you can have to be the best.

Before playing the DLC and seeing that Ogerpon had multiple masks, I was definitely scared you would only be able to have just ONE mask (meaning only two forms, base and whatever mask you would choose). I'm glad that you get access to all the masks which makes team building much easier (acting like I'm gonna be doing that). Compared to something like Urshifu where you're locked into one of two forms. Even something like Zacian vs Zamazenta, two different pokemon (obviously) you would most likely have to buy both Sword and Shield to obtain. What I'm trying to say is while a strong Pokemon is locked behind DLC, at least you only need the ONE DLC for multiple forms instead of having to have multiple copies of the same game in order to obtain the different forms.

Congratulations to the editor(s), all these videos are super top quality!

Your information has always been top notch but the video editing is really kicking it to another level. Another one well done Wolfey

I honestly have been having quite a lot of success bringing Goodra against Ogerpon. Sap Sipper with tera water basically means that its common sets can't do anything to me.

I think comparing abilities and everything on paper between all forms, cornerstone ogerpon seems like the worst but somehow it is so so good; its extremely underrated, it is only resisted by steel, most top tier mon right now take a good hit from it like tornadus or fire ogerpon, sturdy doesnt seem like that good of an ability but it feels pretty good in it, i am using a team with it right now and i have been able to swords dance most of the time because of it, sturdy also comes clutch a lot of the time if you know how to position even against fire ogerpon with a +1 that tries to KO it and you respond with a 100 base rock type move

I've watched your videos for years and this editing was great Looked good and sounded good keep up the great job team Wolfe!!

I'm very curious to see how Ogrepon is in a game that does not have terastallization

Ogerpon is what happens when Tinkaton and Chi-Yu have a baby together

if archaludon still has stalwart it will be a great/decent anwser to ogerpon since it will fear the low kick/ superpower

Great video! I think a follow up video where you explain ways to take down ogerpon would be cool, but maybe thats revealing too much inside info

Predicting what moveset/Strat your opponents ogerpon is going to use is like driving blindfolded with earplugs while dizzy whilst simultaneously being lectured on astrophysics and having a math test in 4 minutes and 19 seconds

I honestly love Ogerpon but this is before I learned how broken it was going to be. The story of the dlc makes ogerpon cute in my eyes and thus I wanted to use it cause it has water typing available and I love water types. So when I went to build my team I wanted to use waterpon cause Its water type and cause Oregpon is cute and deserves to be happy

Is it a bit much? Yes, but i still like it, and let's be real for a moment, i'd rather have this as a super overpowered pokemon than ZACIAN GO BRRRR Or Geomancy at it's prime....

I like how Wolfe says the DLC “just dropped” like it’s been out for a month at this point 😭

Did you forget to mention that ivy cudgel is also non contact & has increased crit chance?

2:43 Its attack is actually 120 7:51 On an unrelated note, why is Urshifu not going through protect.

Local cutie pie makes World Champ go in depth.

In sword and shield days I've been using Follow Me defensive blastoise lol, hard to imagine they now give it to legendary

Sturdy is quite fitting for Ogerpon-Cornerstone imo. It allows you to just run max Speed so you can get off a quick Focus Energy and start getting guaranteed crits on everything

If I had a nickel for every time the legendary of the first DLC was broken, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but honestly not surprising that it happened twice.

I’d be really interested in a video on kommo-o’s return

I have officially learned the difference between Middling and Bulky for the first time in Pokémon terms thanks wolf y.

One more thing is when you terra you get extra damage on top of the extra dmg from it being Stab I think rock form is very good and people will realize that later on in the format.

It's wonderful seeing such a cute little Pokemon having a ton of dangerous potential.

I feel like ogerpon might have kinda been designed with closed team sheets in mind. Like it has all these crazy traits but the tradeoff is it has very few surprises. As soon as they see it your opponent immediately knows its tera type, its ability, and if youre using one of the masks they also know your item

Hey Wolfey, just curious, but what do you think about Ogerpon being slotted in Weather teams? I know she doesn’t have any weather benefiting abilities, but her types do change to the respective weathers except snow, so Sun and Rain get weather boosted bonks and sand just makes her ever so slightly more bulky. Think it could be worthwhile?

I really like where you explain the “bulk tiers”

Pretty sure Ogerpon has 120 attack

She's not only strong, she's cute as heck.

Ogerpon also learns trailblaze. Which could be an option on hearthflame sets to fix its speed issue and also gain small but respectable grass coverage. There's better options like horn leech, wood hammer, or power whip though. But trailblaze can help you snowball out of control a lot faster.

Another thing to consider: with how flexible ogrepon is, it's no longer about how to deal with ogrepon, but how to deal with each variant of ogrepon, as a setup sweeper would require different considerations from a tanky follow me, and etc.

The only thing that makes me angry is that the rock form has sturdy which completely anti synergistic with the terrastral form boosting defense

Our favorite Good Girl is doing great for herself

After watching a lot of your videos, I'm genuinely curious as to how you would design a pokemon(appearance, move pool, typing, etc). For competitive would be nice, but also just what you find cool

I think that ogerpon with the wellstring mask(or whatever the water one is called) will ether take out surfing srikes urshifu from the meta because of the ability and follow me, or they both will be meta

Still not as format warping as Urshifu

You made our good girl look evil Wolfey how could you?

The movepool on oger is insanely good, i use focus sash on it, with swords dance, horn leech for recover and grass stab, also helps on recovering for sash sometimes, rock tomb hits for all of it's weaknesses, and stomping tantrum kills the steel and poison types

Love the editing!!!

wolfey i think ogerpon attack is 120

You know with our luck terapogas will end up with a Tera form that’s super effective versus everything

Looking forward to Terapagos possibly marking the Restricted regulation coming soon if SwSh indicates the part 2 legendary gets stats like the main box legendary.

I regret not watching your recent online live tourneys ),: hopefully you can do another

Ogerpon is proof that Gamefreak learned nothing from Zacian.

How is it too strong I wonder? Maybe the FRECAKIN CROWN THAT SUPEREFFECTIVES EVERYTHING? AND THE FREACKIN 100 BASE POWER ALWAYS STAB POWER BOOST WITH MASK LEGENDARY? I wonder what’s OP about that?

This whole video just highlights how cool the design of Ogerpon is. Every form has trade-offs and benefits that make them unique between each form. Of course the Pokemon is busted af and probably the new Zacian but at least we get different flavours this time.

And we thought Urshifu was rage inducing... the water bear shudders at the little mask goblin girl. I absolutely love her.

Bro the sponsorship transition as subtle as a brick

looking forward to see how ogerpon does, especially how much urshifu usage will sink considering its a really strong grass type that will be found on just about every second team

An interesting consideration when it comes to counterplay is actually something I’ve tried out before on showdown when thunderus incarnate was dominant in gen 8, prankster attract, since ogrepon is gender locked to female it will have a hard time making a significant impact if it has a 50% chance to waste a turn, and with open team sheets just the threat of prankster attract might make an opponent hesitant to even bring ogrepon into the battle

I'm using Cornerstone on a sandstorm team in showdown. Pretty funny how bulky that thing gets when tera, considering de SpD bonus from sandstorm and recovery from horn leech + SD

Poor, Wolfey. Thumbnail be showing Ogerpon waking up and choosing violence

From a game design standpoint, it makes sense to make the more interesting game pieces more powerful as a way to incentivize competitive players to use it. There’s an argument that players that like these sort of designs don’t need a competitive push in order to engage with it, however I think that a power boost is needed if you want the really competitive players to engage with it. Regardless of if the power boost was needed, Ogerpon seems like a sweet design with a lot of area to explore and a lot of decision trees. Pokémon could use more designs like these. Oh and it’s really cute to boot, which is also a “reason” to make it powerful so that less competitive players don’t feel bad about using it. Not that needed to do that, single player Pokémon isn’t hard enough to justify that but whatever.

this looks like a job for ogrepon's arch nemeses - the Loyal Three! 😂

personally I think rock form is a really good form as it can allow it to be a hyper offensive bruiser rock type pokemon. though cause of that it is probably best to pair it with a different follow me user like indeedee or clefairy. the reason why I say offensive bruiser is cause you'll be investing in some of the tankier stats like hp and spdef but still put a moderate to most of the amount into attack but don't max out attack. it's just a theory but doing something that people normally don't do is kinda my thing even in other games like league of legends. so where people build faster more aggressive (and passive) I just go for fun and do what I think makes it fun (which is usually off meta builds and sets)
