[SET]
Breloom @ Focus Sash
Name: Focus Sash (Grass)
Ability: Technician

Adamant Nature
- Spore / Swords Dance
- Mach Punch
- Rock Tomb / Close Combat / Bulldoze
- Swords Dance / Close Combat / Bullet Seed

[SET COMMENTS]
Breloom is a great late-game cleaner for Grass teams by virtue of its great Attack stat, access to Swords Dance to increase it further, and great ability in Technician boosting many of its attacks. Spore allows Breloom to incapacitate a threat to open up opportunities for it to set up Swords Dance. Mach Punch boosted by Technician allows Breloom to not only revenge kill fast cleaners like Meowscarada, Greninja, and Barraskewda but also sweep through teams that lack a check to it like Dark and Ice. Rock Tomb provides great coverage, targeting Fire- and Flying-types that switch in on an anticipated Bullet Seed such as Ogerpon-H, Talonflame, and Zapdos. Close Combat is more powerful than Mach Punch, making it suited for slower foes such as Archaludon, while Bulldoze allows Breloom to handle one of its biggest counters in Gholdengo. Bullet Seed is Breloom's strongest wallbreaking STAB option thanks to Technician boosting each of its hits. A Swords Dance + 3 attacks variant can be used as well to further Breloom's role as a sweeper. However, Spore is preferred, since it helps Breloom find chances to set up.

Breloom appreciates entry hazard support from Toedscruel and Brambleghast wearing down foes, as well as breaking Ogerpon-C's Sturdy so Breloom can immediately OHKO it with Mach Punch. Additionally, the two of them provide entry hazard removal with Rapid Spin so that Breloom's Focus Sash does not break. Amoonguss is a great defensive partner that threatens Fairy-types such as Enamorus and Iron Valiant, and it can also run Spore so that Breloom can choose to run Swords Dance instead. Meowscarada appreciates Breloom immobilizing threats with Spore and removing Toxapex and Ting-Lu, and in return, it handles Ghost- and Psychic types such as Gholdengo, Sinistcha, and Latios. Ogerpon-H and Ogerpon-C appreciate Breloom handling their checks such as Greninja, Barraskewda, and Ogerpon-W for them. In return, Ogerpon-H handles bulky Grass-types such as Sinistcha and Amoonguss, while Ogerpon-C threatens Flying-types such as Articuno and Moltres. Abomasnow sets up Aurora Veil to make Breloom harder to take down, allowing it to find more opportunities to set up and sweep.

Breloom @ Focus Sash
Name: Focus Sash (Grass)
Ability: Technician

[SET COMMENTS]
Breloom is a great late-game cleaner for Grass teams by virtue of its great Attack stat which can be further boosted by Swords Dance and a great ability in Technician boosting many of its attacks. Spore allows Breloom to incapacitate a switch-in to it such as Enamorus, Dragapult, and Volcarona (all of these arent swap ins to their respective types. Mention just the threat of a guaranteed sleep and opening up setup opportunities for the mushroom). Swords Dance can be used as well to further Breloom's role as a sweeper by boosting its already high Attack stat. However, Spore is preferred since it can render one of its checks useless, essentially keeping out of the game to get a sweep easier(more of, common team mates like Amoon will have spore already). Mach Punch boosted by Technician allows Breloom to not only revenge kill boosted sweepers like Gouging Fire (idt it ever does. Maybe mentioning stinkers like TA Meow/Gren would be nicer.) and Barraskewda, but it also allows Breloom to sweep through teams that lack a check to it like Dark, Steel (steel has ghold, making it unlikely reoe), and Ice teams. Rock Tomb provides great coverage, targeting Fire- and Flying-types that switch in on an anticipated Bullet Seed such as Ogerpon-H, Talonflame, and Zapdos. Bullet Seed is Breloom's strongest wallbreaking STAB option thanks to Technician boosting each of its hits, while Close Combat is more powerful than Mach Punch, making it suited for slower foes such as (Archaludon?) Hisuian Goodra and Alolan Muk.
*mention Bullzode for Breloom's best counter in Gholdengo

Breloom appreciates entry hazard support from Toedscruel and Brambleghast wearing down foes, which also allows it to immediately OHKO Ogerpon-C with Mach Punch thanks to hazards breaking its Sturdy. Additionally, Brambleghast (both of them spin) also provides entry hazard removal with Rapid Spin so that Breloom's Focus Sash does not break. Amoonguss is a great defensive partner that threatens Fairy-types such as Enamorus and Iron Valiant, and it can also run Spore so that Breloom can choose to run Swords Dance instead. Abomasnow sets up Aurora Veil to make Breloom harder to take down, allowing it to find more opportunities to set up and sweep (move this to last). Meowscarada appreciates Breloom immobilizing threats with Spore and removing Toxapex and Ting-Lu, and in return, it handles Ghost- and Psychic types such as Gholdengo, Sinistcha, and Latios. Ogerpon-H and Ogerpon-C appreciate Breloom handling their checks such as Greninja, Barraskewda, and Ogerpon-W for them. In return, Ogerpon-H handles bulky Grass-types such as Sinistcha and Amoonguss, while Ogerpon-C threatens Flying-types such as Articuno and Moltres.

Breloom is a great late-game cleaner for Grass teams by virtue of its great Attack stat, (AC) which can be further boosted by access to Swords Dance to increase it further, (AC) and a great ability in Technician boosting many of its attacks. Spore allows Breloom to incapacitate a threat to open up opportunities for it to set up Swords Dance. Swords Dance can be used as well to further Breloom's role as a sweeper by boosting its already high Attack stat. However, Spore is preferred since it helps Breloom find chances to set up. Mach Punch boosted by Technician allows Breloom to not only revenge kill fast cleaners like Meowscarada, Greninja, and Barraskewda (RC) but it also allows Breloom to sweep through teams that lack a check to it like Dark and Ice teams.

Close Combat is more powerful than Mach Punch, making it suited for slower foes such as Archaludon, while Bulldoze allows Breloom to handle one of its biggest counters in Gholdengo. Bullet Seed is Breloom's strongest wallbreaking STAB option thanks to Technician boosting each of its hits. A Swords Dance + 3 attacks variant can be used as well to further Breloom's role as a sweeper. However, Spore is preferred, (AC) since it helps Breloom find chances to set up. (per Discord, also add something for spore + 3 attacks if this is a viable permutation)

Breloom appreciates entry hazard support from Toedscruel and Brambleghast wearing down foes, as well as breaking Ogerpon-C's Sturdy so Breloom can which also allows it to immediately OHKO Ogerpon-C it with Mach Punch thanks to hazards breaking its Sturdy.

Ogerpon-H and Ogerpon-C appreciate Breloom handling their checks such as Greninja, Barraskewda, and Ogerpon-W for them.
