Rillaboom is a fairly powerful physical attacker with solid bulk, setting up Grassy Terrain to aid its teammates and throw off a high-Base Power priority STAB move. High Horsepower provides valuable coverage against otherwise problematic Fire- and Poison-types like Chi-Yu, Arceus-Poison, and Galarian Slowking, as well as dealing with Steel-types such as Solgaleo and Kingambit. Alternatively, Knock Off serves as a valuable utility tool, as well as providing more power against Psychic- and Ghost-types like Mewtwo and Giratina. Tera Grass's power boost gives Rillaboom a 50% chance to OHKO bulky Great Tusk and a guaranteed OHKO on Regieleki with Grassy Glide. In terms of useful teammates, Sneasler is a very strong pick, because Grassy Terrain activates its Grassy Terrain + Unburden combination, raising its Speed to extremely high levels and providing a nice Defense boost; additionally, Grassy Terrain reducing Earthquake's damage improves its survivability even further. Bulky Pokemon without reliable recovery like Magearna and Palkia-O are also aided by the recovery effect of Grassy Terrain. Rillaboom fears strong, faster attackers that it can't threaten with its coverage, such as Chi-Yu, Arceus-Poison, Chien-Pao, and Kyurem-W, so Pokemon that can take these threats on like Zamazenta-C, Zacian, and Choice Scarf Landorus are helpful partners. Grassy Terrain nerfing Earthquake's damage aids many other Pokemon that are vulnerable to Ground-types, such as Arceus-Poison, Solgaleo, and Chi-Yu.
