How boosted is a Terastillized Ivy Cudgel from an Ogerpon-Masked?
Let’s say you immediately Terastillize and use Ivy Cudgel in a battle. Well, the boost is 2X because of a Terastillization into the user’s type, or 200BP, right? Oh wait, the masks give a 1.2X boost to attacks. Okay? And Embody Aspect does something that might further boost it, or maybe not. Would that mean Embody Aspect gives Ivy Cudgel an additional boost? Or not. I have no idea how Embody Aspect completely works. Please help. Can you explain all the boosts? And if the boost is different for each form, please separate each form. Thanks in advance!

Double for Hearthflame, 4/3 or approximately 1.3x for the other masks.
Since you’re asking for damage, let’s just use Hearthflame Mask, which is the only attack-boosting Embody Aspect form. The mask gives 1.2x damage, but since both Tera and non-Tera Hearthflame-Ogerpon have the Hearthflame Mask, it doesn’t affect the results. Ivy Cudgel has 100 BP (high crit ratio), x2 from the same-type STAB Terastal bonus or 1.5x from normal STAB (since Ivy Cudgel changes types according to form, guaranteeing STAB all the time), and +1 Atk from Embody Aspect.
The first calc uses 1.5x STAB, which almost hits 50%. The second calc uses 2x STAB and +1, which is effectively x3. Since 3 is two times 1.5, the second calc hits almost 100%, double the output of the first calc. Ultimately, this means that Terastallized Ogerpon-Hearthstone dealstwiceas much damage as non-Tera with Ivy Cudgel. If you use the Wellspring or Cornerstone masks, the STAB bonus of 2x from Terastallization compared to non-Terrastalized 1.5x deals 4/3 times the damage.
For your second question, Embody Aspect is an ability that only takes place after Terastallizing Ogerpon. Before Terastallization, Ogerpon can have the following three abilities depending on form:
After Terastallizing Ogerpon, it will replace any of those four abilities with the ability Embody Aspect, which just raises one stat by one stage depending on form:
You can only Terastallize each form depending on their original typing, so each form can only haveonepossible Tera Type instead of 18:

Hope I helped!
