Best move types to use

Move availability depends on game version and learnset data, so this page recommends move types rather than guaranteed moves.

Counter notes for Ogerpon-Hearthflame

• Ogerpon-Hearthflame is a Grass / Fire Pokémon with 110 base Speed and stronger physical attack (120 Attack). Poison, Flying, and Rock attacks all work offensively, but safer counters are usually the ones that reduce risk from its own STAB types.
• Ogerpon-Hearthflame has several 2x weaknesses rather than a single 4x weakness, so the best counters are the ones that can hit it super-effectively while also reducing the risk from Grass / Fire STAB.
• Known abilities include Mold Breaker. This page does not assume ability-specific battle effects, so verify the format before relying on a single counter.
• Avoid counters that are weak to Grass / Fire unless they are fast enough to pressure immediately or bulky enough to survive the exchange.
• Ogerpon-Hearthflame has alternate forms that can change this matchup, including Ogerpon, Ogerpon-Cornerstone, and Ogerpon-Cornerstone-Tera. Check the specific form before relying on this defensive profile.

What not to use

These attacking types are resisted or blocked by the defender's typing, so they are usually lower-priority choices unless they provide a special battle role.

Battle caveats

• This ranking uses modern Gen 6+ type matchups, STAB value, defensive switch-in safety, and base stats.
• Abilities, held items, Terastallization, weather, terrain, and format rules can change real battle outcomes.
• Coverage moves can punish obvious counters, so treat this as type-based guidance rather than a full matchup simulator.
• Move availability depends on game version and learnset data; this page recommends attacking types rather than guaranteed moves.
