UU Setter Ribombee [QC 2/2] [GP 1/1]

[SET]
Sticky Web (Ribombee) @ Light Clay
Ability: Shield Dust
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Tera Type: Ghost
Timid Nature
- Sticky Web
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Moonblast


[SET COMMENTS]
Ribombee sets itself apart from Araquanid, UU's other primary Sticky Web setter, thanks to its high Speed, STAB Moonblast to threaten removers such as Mandibuzz, and access to utility moves like Light Screen and Reflect. Dual screens can further enable setup sweepers like Slither Wing, Keldeo, and Thundurus-T. Tera Ghost is chosen to have an immunity to Rapid Spin from Excadrill and Donphan and Extreme Speed from Hisuian Arcanine, though this should only be used in an emergency.

Ribombee fits on hyper offense teams that appreciate Sticky Web and damage reduction through dual screens. Partners like Serperior and Bisharp stand out due to their abilities that punish Defog usage from Mandibuzz, not to mention they can also use setup moves to try to sweep. Ghost-types like Sinistcha and Hisuian Zoroark are immune to Rapid Spin from Excadrill and Donphan, which prevents them from freely removing Sticky Web. Setup sweepers like Slither Wing, Thundurus-T, and Latios all benefit from Ribombee's support and the Speed drop inflicted on foes, which enables them to outspeed revenge killers such as Greninja and Choice Scarf Gardevoir. Furthermore, these sweepers benefit from the support dual screens provides to help increase their survivability. Pokemon like Weavile and Iron Jugulis can make it hard for Ribombee to set up Sticky Web, so teammates like your own Weavile and Tinkaton are appreciated. Pokemon with Knock Off like Scizor and the aforementioned Weavile and Tinkaton are also appreciated, since they can remove Heavy-Duty Boots as well as threaten Latios, which negates the Speed drop from Sticky Web thanks to Levitate.

All done writing this. It is pretty short but that's because I didn't know what to write or how to make it longer, so this will suffice (and of course, i'm not experienced with Sticky Web and screens teams so the chance that I got something wrong or forgot about including it, is not low)

Ribombee sets itself apart from other Sticky Web users Araquanid thanks to its high speed, STAB Moonblast to threaten removal such as Mandibuzz and access to utility moves like Light Screen and Reflect. It uniquely runs the aforementioned Light Screen and Reflect together in UU since it can further enable setup sweepers like Slither Wing Excadrill, Keldeo, and Thundurus-T. Moonblast is the main STAB move that threatens Latios, Keldeo, and Mandibuzz, it is especially important to threaten Mandibuzz since it can remove Sticky Web, Light Screen, and Reflect. No need to mention STAB moves, I put this part at the starting sentence anyways Tera Ghost is chosen to have an immunity to Rapid Spin from Excadrill and Donphan, and priority from Hisuain Arcanine, Conkeldurr, Conk wants no business with Ribombee and Keldeo, Keldeo doesn't kill with Surf+Vaccum Wave though this should only be done in an emergency.

Ribombee fits on hyper offense teams that appreciate Sticky Web and damage reduction through Light Screen and Reflect. Partners like Serperior and Bisharp stand out due their abilities that benefit from Defog thanks to the boost in stats that they get, not to mention they can also use setup moves to try to sweep. Ghost-types like Sinistcha and Hisuian Zoroark are immune to Rapid Spin from Excadrill and Donphan, which prevents them from freely removing Sticky Web. Setup sweepers like Slither Wing Excadrill, Thundurus-T, and Latios all benefit from Ribombee's support and the speed drop inflicted on opponents, enabling them to outspeed revenge killers such as Greninja and Choice Scarf Gardevoir. Furthermore, these sweepers appreciate the support from screens to help increase their survivability.Talk about how Weavile & Booster Jugulis can be problems as both outspeed and can prevent Ribombee from setting Webs, so allies such as Tinkaton can help with this. Include how Knock Off users like Weavile can threaten Heavy-Duty Boots users. Latios can ignore Sticky Web thanks to Levitate so abusers like Scizor are valuable allies.

trial but would like a ping to second check this once implemented

Ribombee sets itself apart from Araquanid, UU's other primary Sticky Web setter, thanks to its high speed, STAB Moonblast to threaten removal such as Mandibuzz and access to utility moves like Light Screen and Reflect. Added some more context to Ribombee's status in UU as one of the tier's premier Sticky Web users. It uniquely runs the aforementioned Light Screen and Reflect together since it can further enable setup sweepers like Slither Wing, Keldeo, and Thundurus-T. Tera Ghost is chosen to have an immunity to Rapid Spin from Excadrill and Donphan, and priority from Hisuain Arcanine, though this should only be done in an emergency.

Ribombee sets itself apart from Araquanid, UU's other primary Sticky Web setter, thanks to its high Speed, STAB Moonblast to threaten removal removers such as Mandibuzz, (AC) and access to utility moves like Light Screen and Reflect. It uniquely runs the aforementioned Light Screen and Reflect together since it (Grimmsnarl also utilizes dual screens, so this doesn't seem unique to Ribombee. I heavily suggest replacing the highlighted part w/ just "Dual screens.") can further enable setup sweepers like Slither Wing, Keldeo, and Thundurus-T. Tera Ghost is chosen to have an immunity to Rapid Spin from Excadrill and Donphan (RC) and priority (what exact move does Arcanine use?) from Hisuain Hisuian Arcanine, though this should only be done used in an emergency.

Copyedit implemented! Sorry for responding so late, I was waiting for a notification to pop up about this (and the H-Lilligant one) but it just never did, Ik it may seem like an excuse but it really is true.

Anyway, since you did ask what H-Arc runs, I did add Extreme Speed next to it to clear it up. Feel free to check a second time a blue banana
