[SET COMMENTS]
<p>Breloom can also effectively use a Bulk Up set to attempt a sweep that gives troubles to common physical walls such as Gliscor, Quagsire, (add comma) and most members of a stall teams. It should also be noted that, when using this moveset, this variant of Breloom can set up on a multitude of common threats, such as Tyranitar (nor Fire Blast or Ice Beam will KO, and smart Tyranitar users don't leave their weather starter against something that can OHKO them), Ferrothorn, Forretress, and Politoed, among others. Rotom-W, which usually causes troubles to most teams, can't touch this Breloom either, because both of Rotom-W's its STABs are resisted and Will-O-Wisp won't have any effect if Toxic Orb has already activated.</p>
<p>Bulk Up is the crux of this set, boosting Breloom's already massive Attack to powerful levels and its while also boosting its mediocre Defense, which enables Breloom to survive moves like Choice Band Terrakion's Close Combat, Mamoswine's Ice Shard and Scizor's Bullet Punch, meaning they will fail to revenge kill the mushroom Pokémon. Spore is quite useful, especially with the mechanics in BW, and essentially disables one of your opponent's Pokemon. , with the new Sleep mechanics, is really overpowered, disabling, possibly for the rest of the game, one pokemon, which might put your opponent in a pinch (holy crap 6 commas in one sentence...). Seed Bomb is Breloom's most powerful Attack without drawbacks, and it also hits bulky Water-types waters such as Rotom-W, Politoed, Gastrodon, and Quagsire extremely hard, being useful against targets such as Rotom-W, Politoed, Quagsire, Gastrodon, and others. Drain Punch, when used in conjunction with Poison Heal, recovers Breloom's health, making it even harder to take down, and while still decimates threats such as like Tyranitar, Blissey, and Ferrothorn, and others. Additionally, the annoying 'Volt-Turn' (single quotations) combos with Rotom-W and Scizor will also have trouble with this set;, because (add semicolon, remove comma) Breloom can set<space>up on and destroy Rotom-W, and if it has boosted, Scizor will fail to beat it (This sentence is very strangely worded, but I can't figure out a way to reword it xD).</p>

<p>The EV spread might seem strange, but it does have its uses function. 236 HP EVs will ensure that Breloom will have the highest HP number that is divisible by per 8, meaning that it will recover the most HP from have the best Poison Heal. recovery; (add period, remove semicolon) 60 Speed EVs will allows Breloom to reach 191 Speed, and outspeeds minimum Speed Heatran and other bulky pokémon such as like Choice Band Tyranitar, Standard Skarmory, and defensive Politoed, etc; the rest is put sent into the Special Defense in order to take hits such as like Rotom-W's Hydro Pump much better, as well as surviving moves such as like Defensive Reuniclus's Psychic and Celebi's Hidden Power Fire. Drain Punch is used for its higher power and extra healing, but Mach Punch can might also be used for useful Fighting Priority, but it is not recommended due to its weak Base Power. Stone Edge is also an option over Seed Bomb, (remove comma) if you wish to hit Flying-types (add hyphen) for super effective hard damage, but Seed Bomb hits bulky Water-types super effectively, and this is one of Breloom's selling points.</p>
<p>This set works especially well against 'Volt-Turn' teams. This set is a great team player, so teams that are weak to scouting teams, Rotom-W or stall teams should at least consider this Breloom, because it helps a lot against them. As for our mushroom's partners, Latios gets a special mention, because not only he resists Breloom's Psychic- and Fire-type weaknesses, he can also OHKO troublesome Pokemon such as Acrobatics Gliscor and Skarmory, while Breloom can easily defeat Tyranitar and, if it has set up, Scizor. Drizzle teams Rain teams with Drizzle Politoed might also enjoy this Breloom's presence, because it's effective against both Sandstorm teams and Rotom-W, and while Breloom loves the rain Politoed brings, which greatly weakens attacks such as so that it can survive Heatran's Flamethrower and random Hidden Power Fires. Lastly, using another Fighting-type Pokemon (no accented e) is also a pretty good cool idea, as since Breloom lures and severely weakens targets such as (or, sometimes, even defeat) Gliscor and Reuniclus, clearing the way for another sweeper to clean up Swords Dance Lucario, a Bulk Up Conkeldurr or a Double Dance Terrakion sweep.</p>
