[SET]
name: Leech Seed
move 1: Spore
move 2: Leech Seed
move 3: Protect
move 4: Drain Punch
item: Toxic Orb
ability: Poison Heal
nature: Careful
evs: 236 HP / 248 SpD / 24 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

<p>While Breloom is mostly seen as an offensive force, it can function very well in a defensive role. When invested in its bulk, Breloom is a very effective switch-in to the ever-common Water-type attacks that run rampant in the metagame. Its ability to deal with Rotom-W and Scald is priceless; typical physical Pokemon have to worry about being burnt, but since Breloom is already poisoned via Toxic Orb, it can't be crippled.</p>

<p>The trick to this Breloom's success is its longevity. Between Leech Seed, Poison Heal, Protect, and Drain Punch, it is consistently gaining health. While it is staying alive, it is also draining its opponent's health with Leech Seed, stacking up damage quickly with hazard support. Furthermore, with Breloom's signature move, Spore, it can incapacitate an opposing Pokemon.</p>

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

<p> The HP EVs allow for a Poison Heal number. The Speed EVs allow Breloom to outpace Wobbuffet, as well as some Skarmory, Jellicent, and Choice Band Tyranitar.</p>

<p>While this set is a good sponge to Water-type attacks, it is not invincible. In a similar vein, while Breloom is a solid anti-rain measure in the sense that it can tank boosted Water-type attacks, it cannot handle all the attackers typically found on rain teams, such as Tornadus. Thus a teammate that can also deal with these Pokemon is recommended. Luckily, there is no shortage of Pokemon in OU that can fulfill these tasks; Rotom-W in particular stands out due to its ability to handle Tornadus and accommodating Breloom's Flying- and Fire-type weaknessess.</p>

<p>Entry hazards pair well with this set, as with Spore and Leech Seed, Breloom will really be harassing the opposition. Skarmory and Forretress function best on the balanced and defensive teams that this Breloom should generally be used on. While it can annoy them on the switch, strong physical attackers such as Terrakion and Scizor are dangerous to face. A solid physical wall pairs well for this reason; the aforementioned Skarmory is always a good choice, while others such as Hippowdon, Landorus-T, and Gliscor are always reliable as well. Pokemon immune to Leech Seed, most notably Celebi, Reuniclus, and Alakazam, also threaten this set, especially since they take little damage from Drain Punch. Jirachi handles them well along with other threats to Breloom, such as Tornadus and Latias.</p>

u have speed creep and ur infamous random ev's ugh just fix tht
qc approved 1/3

 

[BKC]

ok itll be max/max you unappreciative phillistine

thanks for the approval princess ^_^

edit: alexwolf i changed them to max/max, outrunning sdef tran would result in a tremendous loss of bulk and sometimes they get speedy too so itd be worthless

 

[alexwolf]

Unless you explain what the Atk, Def, and Spe EVs do, and i mean particular examples not generic statements, either max SpD or use enough Spe to outrun SpD Heatran.

EDIT: ninja'd

Grammar-prose team, I would be honored if you would, shall we say, do your thing.

 

[dice]

before gp does anything, why not use a spread of 236 hp / 248 spd / 24 spe?

it's a poison heal number and can outspace fast wobb to leech seed before wobb encores your protect.

 

[BKC]

sure, added

Its ability to deal with Rotom-W and Scald is priceless; typical physical Pokemon have to worry about being burnt, but since Breloom is already poisoned, it can't be touched by them.

While this set is a good sponge to Water-type attacks, it is not invincible. In a similar vein, while Breloom is a solid anti-rain measure in the sense that it can tank boosted Water-type attacks, it cannot handle all the attackers typically found on rain teams, such as Tornadus.

Skarmory and Forretress function best on the balanced and defensive teams that this Breloom should generally be used on.

While it can annoy them on the switch, strong physical attackers such as Terrakion and non-Choice Scizor are dangerous to face.

combine the last three paragraphs (the teammate ones in ac)

[Remove extra period.] Thus, a teammate that can also tank these moves deal with these Pokemon [What you have doesn't make sense. Breloom can't deal with certain rain Pokemon, but can still tank Water moves. Makes more sense to use Pokemon that take care of these nuisances such as Tornadus like you said.] is recommended.

You can use something else if needed].</p>
