Ogerpon has been a staple in the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet metagame since its release in The Teal Mask DLC, and more recently it’s seen very impressive usage stats at the Europe International Championships (EUIC)—so we asked VGC pros what makes the ogre so strong and popular without being gamebreaking.
According to the EUIC usage chart provided by The Pokémon Company, Wellspring Ogerpon was used by 36.4 percent of the competition, while its Hearthflame form was sitting at 20.2 percent. Both Wellspring and Hearthflame Ogerpon were among the top 12 Pokémon at the event, with 56.6 percent of players including one of those forms on their team. This didn’t even include its less common forms, Cornerstone and Teal. Regardless, this technically made Ogerpon the most-used ‘mon in the entire event.
