Ogerpon-Wellspring's timid appearance masks a leviathan of the DOU metagame! While DOU may seem saturated with bulky Grass types, Ogerpon drowns out the competition with a combination of typing, ability, and access to a seemingly bottomless well of moves. Follow Me provides redirection that can both protect allies from powerful offensive moves and redirect Amoonguss' Spore to itself, rendering it harmless. Horn Leech and a special Special Defense boost on Tera provide recovery and bulk, perfectly complementing its Grass/Water typing to create a menace that can both redirect damage and threaten out Pokemon with its Ivy Cudgel. Ogerpon works best when it can support powerful offensive options that can use the redirection. Setup threats like Archaludon and Gouging Fire appreciate a redirector that resists Ground moves, giving them free reign to terrorize the battlefield. However, watch out! Ogerpon can't do much damage to Grass types like Rillaboom or Dragon types like Raging Bolt. Ogerpon will often have to switch to avoid taking heavy hits or becoming setup fodder!
