Ogerpon (Japanese: オーガポン Ogerpon) is a Grass-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IX, with The Teal Mask.
While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Ogerpon has four forms, depending on the mask it's wearing, which also changes its typing. Each mask also gives Ogerpon a unique Terastal Form when it Terastallizes.
Teal Mask Ogerpon is the game mascot of The Teal Mask, appearing in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero.
Biology
Ogerpon is a small, green humanoid Pokémon. It has a green torso with a small blue star on its stomach, and long black legs with two toes on each foot. Between its toes are sprouts with two leaves. A green, leafy cloak covers its arms, the neck of which appears to be a large, thorny vine. Two thorns stick out prominently from the top, resembling two large horns. Underneath the mask, Ogerpon has an orange face yellow eyes shaped like a star. It wears a six-spiked headband with a single leaf on top. Ogerpon is a female only species with no male counterpart.
Ogerpon and its former companion were shunned by the people of Kitakami due to their strange appearance, and so they lived in a nearby mountain, isolated from the villagers. The village mask-maker took pity on the pair and crafted four beautiful masks for them, allowing them to blend in with the people during the village festival. However, their fame attracted three greedy Pokémon: Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti, who attacked Ogerpon's companion in their cave while Ogerpon was away, stealing all but the Teal Mask and leaving no trace of the companion when Ogerpon returned. Filled with rage, Ogerpon attacked and defeated the three Pokémon in the village, but its anger caused the villagers to fear it even more. Thus, Okidogi, Munkidori and Fezandipiti were immortalized by the unaware villagers as the Loyal Three, while Ogerpon was left alone in its cave, saddened by the events that had transpired. It mainly resides in the Dreaded Den.
Ogerpon has a curious and mischevious personality. It enjoys spending time with humans while wearing a mask to blend in. It can confuse foes with its nimble movements and kicks. Ogerpon can draw power from the masks it wears, granting its different elements for its cudgel to use. Ogerpon can become weaker should any of its masks get stolen. Returning the mask can restore Ogerpon's full power.
Ogerpon is the only Pokémon capable of using Ivy Cudgel.
Forms
Ogerpon has four forms, each with a unique Terastallized form. Unlike other Pokémon, Ogerpon is incapable of having its Tera type changed at the Treasure Eatery. Instead, its Tera Type is determined by which mask it is currently wearing.
- Teal Mask
Teal Mask Ogerpon's mask is teal color with a mischievous expression. The mouth is tan, sporting two protrusions from the chin that resemble pincers. One both sides of the mouth are three large green leaves that are larger than each one below. On top of the mask are 5 teal leaves fanned out to form a kind of crown, with the outer four having holes cut out towards the center. A type of crystal that resembles those found in the depths of Area Zero adorns its mask, a 4 sided star in the center of its crown, 6 more in the center of each leaf on the side of its mask, and two more used in the center as eyes.
In its Terastallized form, Ogerpon's mask becomes bigger, completely covering all but its legs. The Mask itself floats durning battle. The black part of mouth mask opens up more. The head crystal changes into having the Terastal Symbol at center along with two Ogre-like spikes on front of head. The lower three large green leaves change to bright green. Behind the mask is several bright green leaves and spit vines forming a fur like look for mask. This form will always have a Grass Tera type.
The mask it wears is described as being fearsome[1]. With Teal Mask, Ogerpon can bring life back to any withered green surrounding it.

Trivia
- With a total of four battles, Ogerpon can be fought the most out of any Legendary Pokémon in one playthrough.
Origin
Ogerpon may be based on oni, creatures from Japanese folklore that often are referred to as demons or ogres in English. In particular, it may be based off the oni who live on Onigashima from the story of Momotarō. It may also be inspired by onikenbai, or Devil's Sword Dance, a traditional festival and dance in Kitakami, Iwate.
It also appears to be based on ivy, although its thorny appearance is more similar to plants like bramble bushes.
Name origin
Ogerpon may be derived from ogre and ponkan or dekopon, a variety of orange, as well as ~ぽん -pon, a cutesy suffix applied to names as a form of endearment.
