1.2x Damage Boost to All Damaging Moves in Masked Forms

When Ogrepon has a Mask Held Item (Wellspring Mask, Hearthflame Mash, or Cornerstone Mask, not the Teal Mask base form), it receives an additional 20% damage boost on all moves, regardless of whether they are STAB or not.

This bonus also applies even if Ogrepon is not Terastallized. This amounts to a total of a 1.7x damage boost when accounting for STAB + Mask Boost. If Terastallized and using a move which matches the Tera Type, this reaches up to a 2.2x Damage boost!

Ability and Held Item

Ability	Held Item
Water Absorb	Wellspring Mask

Ogerpon's Ability when it is in its Wellspring Mask form is Water Absorb, which will restore HP when hit with a Water-type Move. Ogerpon also uniquely has Embody Aspect, an additional ability that triggers upon Terastallization, that gives Ogerpon a stat boost based on what Mask it is wearing.

In this form, Ogerpon will get a Special Defense boost upon Terastallization.

The chosen Held Item for this build is the Wellspring Mask, which will change Ogerpon's type to Water / Grass when held.

Ivy Cudgel, or 'Water Cudgel' as it is sometimes called, is a powerful coverage option with 100 Base Power. It will be a Water-type Attack when used by Ogerpon Wellspring Mask. Ivy Cudgel in this form is a strong Water-type attack that doesn't make contact.

Horn Leech is Ogerpon's other main STAB move. Horn Leect is a Grass-type attack that heals Ogerpon for 50% of the damage dealt.

Synthesis and Leech Seed give Ogerpon other means of HP recovery. Synthesis heals Ogerpon for half of its health when there's no weather, while Leech Seed will passively drain 1/8th of the opponent's HP while healing Ogerpon for the damage dealt.

How to Use Wellspring Mask Ogerpon (Water) Effectively

Use as a Defensive Switch In

Ogerpon Wellspring Mask has a great defensive typing in Grass and Water. During turns where your other Pokemon are threatened by strong attacks, switch in Ogerpon to resist and tank those attacks instead.

Embody Aspect's Stat Buff

Embody Aspect grants Ogerpon a boost to its Special Defense while in its Wellspring Mask form. Utilize this to tank the damage of strong Special Attackers like Gholdengo and Flutter Mane.

How to Build a Team with Wellspring Mask Ogerpon (Water)

Ogerpon is best used as a defensive pivot in this form while still being able to threaten a lot of damage. Use it as a switch in to tank threatening moves like Gholdengo's Make it Rain, or absorb Urshifu Rapid Strike's Surging Strikes.

Sample Singles Teams

Lead/Physical Attacker	Physical Attacker	Special Attacker Attacker
Iron Treads	Ogerpon (Wellspring Mask)	Flutter Mane

The trio of Iron Treads, Ogerpon, and Flutter Mane compliment each other by being able to resist each other weaknesses.

Iron Treads is used as the lead to set up Stealth Rocks while also being able to remove opposing hazards with Rapid Spin.

Ogerpon and Flutter Mane can both run more defensive sets in order to catch opponents off guard with their survivability by running moves like Leech Seed and Calm Mind respectively.

Sample Doubles Teams

Intimidate / Physical Attacker	Physical Attacker
Landorus (Therian Forme)	Ogerpon (Wellspring Mask)
Physical Attacker	Speciall Attacker
Iron Hands	Heatran

Running a bulkier team with Intimidate support is best for Ogerpon's Wellspring Mask form. Being able to constantly pivot out with moves like U-Turn and Volt Switch will make it difficult for your opponent to select moves because they might use it on a Pokemon that resists it instead.

Counters for Wellspring Mask Ogerpon (Water)

Use Priority Moves

While Ogerpon is decently fast, Priority and faster Pokemon can handily deal with it.

The best users of Priority are the combo of Chien-Pao and Dragonite, who both can threaten Ogerpon with their offensive options.
