Oricorio-G is one of the best wallbreakers in PU due to its near-unresisted STAB combo and decent Speed and Special Attack. Oricorio-G excels against balance teams because it can exploit common defensive cores like Mesprit + Weezing, and it has an easier time finding opportunities to set up against them, and it can even find setup opportunities against offense by capitalizing on Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Primeape locked into Close Combat. The combination of Substitute + Supersonic Skystrike allows Oricorio-G to get around Dark-types such as Absol and Skuntank which would otherwise be an annoyance due to Sucker Punch. Its Ghost typing allows it to block Rapid Spin, so entry hazard setters such as Ferroseed and Mesprit make for good partners, as the hazards they set wear down a lot of Oricorio-G's checks such as Lanturn and Regirock. However, Oricorio-G has its faults. Its bulk is average, and it is slower than common offensive Pokemon such as Archeops. Despite these hindrances, however, Oricorio-G is still an exceptional Pokemon, and definitely worth using.
