[Tricking]

Spore + 3 attacks
########
name: Spore + 3 attacks
move 1: Spore
move 2: Bullet Seed
move 3: Mach Punch
move 4: Rock Tomb
ability: Technician
item: Focus Sash
evs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
nature: Jolly

Moves
========
Spore to put the opposing Pokemon to sleep.
Bullet Seed Grass-type STAB + Techincian boost which can go through Sturdy.
Mach Punch STAB + Technician boost. Force Palm if you need a more powerful attack without +1 Priority.
Rock Tomb to hit Flying and Fire-Types + Technician boost.

Set Details
========
252 Atk for power
252 Spe and a Jolly Nature to outspeed more things after the Rock Tomb drop + tie with other 70 speed base Pokemon especially Jolly Bisharp, Custap Berry Skamory and Metagross in the Mega-Evolution turn and it outspeeds 80 base Speed with a neutral nature as well as faster uninvested Pokemon.
Focus Sash to survive at least one hit and put something to sleep.

Usage Tips
========
Use Spore against every Pokemon (except for the ones who are immune), then deal as many damage as you can against the opposing team thanks to its powerful STAB + Rock Tomb speed drops. Breloom can easily tear down the opposing team by predicting what is going to be switched in.

Team Options
========
Fire-Type mons to get rid of everything immune to Spore.
Flying-, Poison-Type resistors such as Heatran.
Mega Venusaur's solid checks such as latwins, Gothitelle or Mega-Metagross.
Fast Pursuit Trappers against Gengar.
Hazards Removers if you can't use Breloom as a lead and you don't want to waste Focus Sash.

Mach Punch STAB + Technician boost.
Swords Dance to set up against Ferrothorn or other Pokemon immune to Spore instead of wasting a turn.

Set Details
========
252 Atk + Adamant Life Orb to deal as much damage as you can especially to OHKO Excadrill, Mega Lopunny.
252 Spe to outspeed as many Pokemon as possible.

Usage Tips
========
Use Spore when possible. Use Swords Dance if you force a switch thanks to Spore/after you have used Spore, then just attack with the powerful STAB moves.

========
Fire-, Flying-type counters. Pursuit trappers for Psychic-type Pokemon. Something to hit Mega-Venusaur, Poison-Type in general especially Gengar which can be KOed with Pursuit as well as Fighting-type Pokemon.

Checks & Counters
########

**Mega-Venusaur**: completely walls every Breloom's moveset.

**Gengar**: immune to Breloom priority, able to revenge-kill it or use substitute on Spore.

**Mandibuzz**: immune to Spore, it can deal much damage against Breloom with Foul Play if boosted and it walls every attack, including Rock Tomb.

**Revenge-Killers**: Mach Punch is too weak to get rid of the majority of its revenge-killers so it is a very easy Pokemon to KO, but it almost always can put a Pokemon on the opposing team to sleep.

Life Orb attacker should be first set. It's too easy to take advantage of Sash in the meta right now, the SD / Spore one which you should call Life Orb Attacker btw. Rock tomb needs a mention in moves for that set and Focus Punch / slashed after SD.

Life Orb Attacker
########
name: Life Orb Attacker
move 1: Spore
move 2: Mach Punch
move 3: Bullet Seed
move 4: Swords Dance / Focus Punch
ability: Technician
item: Life Orb
evs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
nature: Jolly / Adamant

Elaborate on the differences between Swords Dance and Focus Punch. Focus Punch allows you to heavily damage switch ins that are common to Breloom such as Skarmory and Scizor. Swords Dance helps you wall-break and is somewhat a given as far as what it does and has already been explained. If running Focus Punch an Adamant nature is preferred on this variant.

Poison Heal attacker needs a set with details that are pertinent to the set itself.

Poison Heal Attacker
########
name: Poison Heal Attacker
move 1: Swords Dance
move 2: Superpower / Drain Punch
move 3: Seed Bomb
move 4: Facade
ability: Poison Heal
item: Toxic Orb
evs: 12 HP / 244 Atk / 252 Spe
nature: Jolly / Adamant

Sash set last for the time being. This might be removed in the future btw after QC talks about it for the fact it's easy to take advantage of but if you're adamant about keeping it by all means let us know.

Various revenge killers should just say Revenge Killers. When you explain it they'll understand the various aspect of it. Just elaborate on team options the stuff that is generally pretty bare right now so it starts to look a bit more complete. QC 1/3 once you've done all of this.
