Timid Nature
- Sticky Web
- Moonblast
- Psychic Noise / Skill Swap
- Stun Spore / Skill Swap

Ribombee finds its place as a consistent Sticky Web setter with a solid Speed tier and STAB Moonblast to deter Great Tusk, the tier's best entry hazard remover. Sticky Web disrupts frailer offensive Pokemon as well as Speed Booster Energy Pokemon like Iron Hands and Iron Moth. Moonblast nails the aforementioned Great Tusk and Iron Hands while also acting as a consistent damage source. Psychic Noise hits Poison-types such as Pecharunt and Iron Moth but more importantly denies recovery from Pokemon like Rest Dondozo and Recover Clodsire. Stun Spore slows down and cripples foes including Flying-types and Pokemon holding Heavy-Duty Boots, which ignores Sticky Web Speed drops. On the other hand, Skill Swap allows Ribombee to set up Sticky Web on Hatterene as well as temporarily remove important abilities such as Regenerator. Shield Dust allows Ribombee to avoid secondary effects such as Salt Cure from Garganacl and Malignant Chain from Pecharunt, which, combined with Focus Sash, nearly always guarantees it two turns on the field to set up Sticky Web, do damage with Moonblast or Psychic Noise, or paralyze a foe. While Ribombee should rarely Terastallize, Tera Ghost allows it to spinblock Pokemon like Iron Treads in a pinch.

Ribombee should typically be placed in a dump slot that no teammate really wants. Although it appreciates a donation of high Special Attack from gods like Kyurem-W, it is often better to grant that damage increase to other wallbreakers or sweepers on the team. Wallbreakers with mediocre Speed such as Kyurem-W, Manaphy, Hoopa-U, and Urshifu-S are all beneficiaries of Ribombee's Sticky Web, with the latter three allowing them to be utilized in non-Speed slots while maintaining their ability to attack first. Sticky Web also lets faster wallbreakers such as Iron Moth, Zamazenta, Roaring Moon, and Ogerpon-W to forgo a Speed-boosting nature for increased damage. Roaring Moon and Ogerpon-W are especially useful, as they offer strong Knock Offs to remove Heavy-Duty Boots from faster threats such as Iron Treads, Hisuian Electrode, and Eternatus, allowing Ribombee's slower teammates to overwhelm them. Since Ribombee's value lies almost entirely in Sticky Web, Ghost-types such as Pecharunt, Sinistcha, and Arceus-Ghost, which can block Rapid Spin, are incredibly important, while Pokemon that can deter Defog such as Ogerpon and Enamorus should also be considered.

Ribombee finds its place as a consistent Sticky Web setter with a solid Speed tier and STAB Moonblast to deter Great Tusk, the tier's best hazard removal. Sticky Web slows down foes, crippling frailer offensive Pokemon and disrupting Booster Energy Speed Pokemon like Iron Moth Hands I went with Hands here to not only differentiate the specific mention of a Booster mon here and later on in the analysis, but also to showcase Hands being a common mon in the Speed slot. Moonblast nails the aforementioned Great Tusk and Iron Hands for super-effective damage, while also acting as a consistent damage source. Psychic Noise hits Poison-types such as Pecharunt and Iron Moth, but more importantly denies recovery from Pokemon like Rest Dondozo and Recover Clodsire. Stun Spore adds further utility, slowing down and crippling foes, I would specifically make a mention here of Stun Spore hitting Flying-types and mons that commonly run Boots as those are unaffected by Sticky Web while Skill Swap allows Ribombee to set up Sticky Web on Hatterene as well as temporarily remove important abilities such as Regenerator. Shield Dust allows Ribombee to avoid secondary effects such as Salt Cure from Garganacl or Malignant Chain from Pecharunt, which, combined with Focus Sash, nearly gurantees it 2 turns on the field to set up Sticky Web, do damage with Moonblast or Psychic Noise, or paralyze a foe. While Ribombee should rarely Terastallize, Tera Ghost allows it to spinblock Pokemon like Iron Treads in a pinch.

Ribombee enjoys partnerships with high Special Attack gods, as being able to output more damage prevents it from being setup fodder. Notably, Kyurem-W grants Ribombee a gargantuan Special Attack stat, allowing it to pull off feats like 2HKOing uninvested Eternatus with Psychic Noise. In return, Ribombee helps Kyurem-W circumvent its mediocre Speed stat with Sticky Web. Other wallbreakers with mediocre Speed that benefit from Sticky Web include Rillaboom, Hoopa-U, and Urshifu-S. I would make a mention here by elaborating more on  why this is so huge because the Speed slot for most Gods is coveted by Pokemon such as these 3 mentioned and many others so with Webs you are allowed to run Hoopa-U in Defense and Urshifu-S in Special Defense to augment their bulk while also still allowing them to be threatening. Rillaboom also becomes less reliant on Grassy Glide with being able to outspeed things at -1. Sticky Web also allows faster wallbreakers such as Iron Moth and Weavile I think Weavile, even with Webs support, still wants to run Jolly to make sure it outspeeds things and very rarely will run Adamant. I would recommend either Tusk or another potential Booster mon that may be in Speed slot but wants to boost their attacking stat. to forego a Speed-boosting nature for an additonal power boost. Weavile in particular is helpful, as its powerful Knock Off also removes Heavy-Duty Boots from faster threats such as Electrode-H and Iron Treads, which can allow Ribombee's slower teammates overwhelm them. Since Ribombee's value lies almost entirely in Sticky Web, Ghost-types such as Sinistcha Arceus-Ghost and Pecharunt I went with more relevant Ghosts here that can block Rapid Spin and Pokemon that can deter Defog such as Ogerpon and Enamorus are incredibly important.

Could specifically mention corviknight, as skill swap lets you take pressure, thus giving sticky webs more pp than defog and letting you always keep them up Shield Dust allows Ribombee to avoid secondary effects such as Salt Cure from Garganacl or Malignant Chain from Pecharunt, which, combined with Focus Sash, nearly gurantees it 2 turns on the field to set up Sticky Web, do damage with Moonblast or Psychic Noise, or paralyze a foe.

In return, Ribombee helps Kyurem-W circumvent its mediocre Speed stat with Sticky Web. Other wallbreakers with mediocre Speed that benefit from Sticky Web include Rillaboom Would mention a different mon, like manaphy, as rilla doesn't really abuse webs that well and is entirely unseen on webs teams, Hoopa-U, and Urshifu-S, allowing them to be utilized in non-Speed slots while maintaining their ability to attack first. Sticky Web also allows faster wallbreakers such as Iron Moth and Lokix to forgo a Speed-boosting nature for an additonal power boost. Lokix in particular is helpful, as its powerful Knock Off removes Heavy-Duty Boots from faster threats such as Electrode-H and Iron Treads, which can allow Ribombee's slower teammates overwhelm them. These 2 sentences are a bit weird, since lokix doesn't really fit on webs unless in very speficic instances (due to needing a high attack donation), and even if it did, then you're not really clicking knock off vs electrode since it just... dies to the bug stab. If you want to mention a knocker, it'd be much better to say like, ogerpon-w, as it fits a lot better and can actually abuse the webs and use them to make significant progress Since Ribombee's value lies almost entirely in Sticky Web, Ghost-types such as Pecharunt, Sinistcha, and Arceus-Ghost that can block Rapid Spin and Pokemon that can deter Defog such as Ogerpon and Enamorus are incredibly important.

Sticky Web slows down foes, crippling frailer offensive Pokemon and disrupting Speed Booster Energy Speed Pokemon like Iron Hands and Iron Moth.
