Ogerpon Scarlet & Violet Guide

  • In Scarlet & Violet, Don't let Ogerpon's 550 base stat total fool you. Water Absorb is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it B-Tier as a sweeper. Ivycudgel with Choice Band is the standard set.

  • In Scarlet & Violet, watch for Roserade (Poison), Braviary (Flying), and Genesect (Bug) when using Ogerpon. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB.

  • In Scarlet & Violet, Run Water Absorb on Ogerpon. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. With base 110 Speed, Water Absorb gives Ogerpon an edge before opponents can react.

  • In Scarlet & Violet, Ogerpon fills the sweeper role. It's a physical attacker with base 120 Attack. Base 110 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.

  • In Scarlet & Violet, run Ivycudgel, Knock Off, U Turn, and Rocktomb on Ogerpon. Ivycudgel is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the sweeper role with a mix of damage and utility.

Game Availability

Introduced in Scarlet & Violet, Ogerpon has appeared in 1 games across 2 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
