Taunt + Synthesis Breaker

by Kd458

Although Wellspring lacks the overbearing ability to break that Hearthflame Ogerpon had with Mold Breaker, Taunt allows Ogerpon-Wellspring to beat almost anything on stall single-handedly while Synthesis helps with needed longevity. Power Whip immediately threatens Dondozo, Alo and Pex, while Knock Off enables permanent progress by making the aforementioned mons take hazard chip, which can add up quickly in a metagame where max hazards are often achievable and not difficult to maintain with the presence of Gholdengo and more Spikers than there is removal. On a team with solid hazard setters, Knock Off is likely preferable. The given spread maintains enough speed for offensive Great Tusk and lives a Corviknight Brave Bird from full; with rocks up, Corvi in fact gets 2HKOd by Ivy Cudgel + Brave Bird recoil. This set also hard walls Gliscor even if it Teras, as it can taunt to prevent Toxic and Protect and resists EQ, taking only minimal damage while not even letting it get up hazards. Tera is mostly unnecessary on this set, but it improves the matchup into stall Tornadus-T, Corviknight and Sludge Bomb Toxapex, no longer being weak to their attacks and gaining a Sp.Def boost to take even less from special hits from mons like Gholdengo and Specs Dragapult. Pure Water is just a good typing to have defensively, also removing your weakness to U-turn to improve the Cinderace matchup. The additional damage is also appreciated, with Ivy Cudgel now being a roll to 2HKO Corviknight from full.
