For The Teal Masks, this stat will likely be her Pace. Being quicker than her opponent is useful, nevertheless it is not going to at all times make up for the forgone dual-typings. Whereas some gamers could love the simplicity of a single-type pokemon, the dual-types actually steal the present.
3 The Cornerstone Masks
Rock-Grass is the primary of the dual-typings, and it alone reveals how uncommon the chosen typings are. The one different Pokemon with this kind is the Lileep line, a fossil Pokemon from era 3. That line doesn’t even seem in Scarlet & Violet. Ogerpon is not going to have Ivy Cudgel as a Rock-type assault, and when in Tera kind her Embody Facet capacity could have her achieve Protection.
Nonetheless, out of the dual-typings, Rock-Grass has probably the most weaknesses at a complete of 4: Combating, Bug, Metal, and Ice.

However Ogerpon absolutely rains on Scovillain’s parade, as she is well the perfect of these two choices.Just like the Wellspring Masks, Hearthflame Masks Ogerpon is barely weak to solely three sorts: Flying, Poison, and Rock. What offers her the sting over the Wellspring Masks is that when Hearthflame Masks Ogerpon goes right into a Tera kind, Embody Facet will improve her Assault stat. Defensive gamers could really feel this isn’t the sting it feels like, however this is able to be forgetting all the gimmick of Ivy Cudgel.
Ivy Cudgel is a bodily assault, which means {that a} enhance to Ogerpon’s assault will enhance the harm output of Ivy Cudgel. So, not solely does she have the fewest weaknesses,, her capacity will now immediately assist her different gimmick involving the Masks. All 4 varieties nonetheless have loads of use, and a participant who needs to maintain Ogerpon as is or use the Cornerstone or Wellspring over the Hearthflame could have their causes for doing so. Nonetheless, solely the Hearthflame Masks mixes good resistance with Ivy Cudgel’s usability. It is too helpful to be something however the winner.
