[SET COMMENTS]
Ogerpon-H is an incredibly potent stallbreaker and sweeper in Ubers UU due to Mold Breaker and Swords Dance. Trailblaze allows Ogerpon-H to boost its Speed past that of usually faster Pokemon, such as Deoxys, Dragapult, Zacian, Choice Scarf Chi-Yu, and Choice Scarf Landorus. Power Whip and Horn Leech can be run as stronger Grass-type moves to hit Palafin and Great Tusk for super effective damage. Ivy Cudgel gives Ogerpon-H a strong, non-contact Fire-type STAB move to hit Magearna and Skarmory with while avoiding Rocky Helmet chip damage. Play Rough is for Dragon-types like Giratina and Reshiram that resist its STAB moves, whereas Knock Off is for general utility and hits Mewtwo and Lugia. Terastallizing Ogerpon-H gives it an Attack boost, letting it grab OHKOs on bulky neutral Pokemon like Zacian and Dialga without a Swords Dance boost. Ogerpon-H is best dealt with using offensive counterplay that takes advantage of its poor bulk, as Pokemon like Deoxys, Zacian, Choice Scarf Landorus, Chi-Yu, and Palafin can outrun and KO it. Defensively, almost nothing can take Ogerpon-H on, as Mold Breaker ignores Unaware, so only the likes of Moltres can safely handle it. Entry hazards are also a huge problem for Ogerpon-H, as it cannot hold Heavy-Duty Boots, meaning it will take significant chip damage when hitting the battlefield. Ogerpon-H especially appreciates support from Corviknight, which can help Ogerpon-H safely hit the field and remove hazards. Ogerpon-H also forms strong offensive cores with priority users like Rillaboom, Palafin, and Arceus formes due to them being able to eliminate the few faster threats in the metagame. Ogerpon-H also pairs uniquely well with Sticky Web Galvantula, as the foes' Speed drops let it move before everything in the unboosted metagame besides priority users, making it much more threatening.

Ogerpon-Hearthflame is an incredibly potent stallbreaker and sweeper in Ubers UU, as it runs a wide range of moves. Swords Dance for boosting past anything that might live a hit, such as Dialga and Landorus-T Running a variety of moves isn't super relevant to stallbreaking. Swords dance is also self explanatory. Trailblaze to ensure nothing can outspeed and revenge kill you Trailblaze allows you to boost your speed past faster pokemon, such as Deoxys and Dragapult and Zacian, or Choice Scarf Chi-Yu and Landorus. Power Whip & Horn Leech for a can be run as stronger Grass STAB moves to hit Palafin and Great Tusk for super effective damage. Ivy Cudgel gives you a strong non-contact fire STAB to hit Magearna and Skarmory with while avoiding Rocky Helmet chip. Add a lead-in for this section about Ogerpon's coverage moves Play Rough for Dragon Types like Arceus-Dragon Giratina who would resist the your STABs moves, Stomping Tantrum for the Fire Types who also resist the your STABs moves, such as Arceus-Fire and Heatran and Knock Off is for general utility and team support. Tera Fire is unique on Ogerpon-H as when you Terastallize you gain a Permanent +1 Attack boost making Ogerpon-H incredibly hard to stop as you grab OHKOs on bulky neutral Pokemon like Zacian and Dialga without a Swords Dance in conjunction with the inherent 1.2x power from the Mask Boost Probably worht mentioning that Ogerpon-H is locked into tera fire, and that you gain a +1 attack on switch in, not necessarily a permanent +1. It might also be worht mentioning that the ogerpon masks actually give you 1.2 times boosts on your stabs because it's not an especially widely known thing. Ogerpon-H is best dealt with using offensive counterplay to abuse its poor bulk, as Pokemon like Deoxys, Zacian and Choice Scarf Landorus and Chi-Yu and Palafin can outrun and KO before she becomes a significant threat her. Defensively, almost nothing can take Ogerpon-H on, as Mold Breaker ignores Unaware, so only the likes of Moltres and Landorus-Therian can safely handle Ogerpon-H. Hazards are also a huge problem for her, as she cannot hold Heavy-Duty-Boots, meaning she will take significant chip when hitting the battlefield add the corviknight section right here because it flows better. Also mention Hatterene as a solid teammate for it's ability to bounce back hazards. For this reason It doesn't make sense why priority users work good because hearthpon is weak to hazards? I'd just re-write the lead in to good offensive synergies, Ogerpon-H forms strong offensive cores with priority users like Rillaboom, Palafin-H and Arceus. As well as this, Ogerpon-H especially appreciates the support from Corviknight, who can slow pivot to help Ogerpon-H hit the field and can also Defog away the hazards.

(I'd add a sentence about Hearthflame's synergy with Sticky web and Galvantula, as it allows it to outspeed faster threats like Arceus.)
