Breloom is a solid choice for Fighting teams thanks to Spore alongside super powerful Technician-boosted STAB moves Bullet Seed and Mach Punch, alleviating some of the pressure from the Water and Dark matchups. Spore gives Breloom setup opportunities and impedes otherwise major threats to the team such as Flying-types like Corviknight and Pelipper and Poison-types such as Toxapex, Iron Moth, and Clodsire. Focus Sash guarantees it can use Spore at least once—provided Breloom can keep itself at full HP—and also gives Breloom the opportunity to use Swords Dance as well. Bullet Seed is a fantastic STAB move that threatens Water-types like Dondozo and Quagsire. Mach Punch provides Breloom with a super strong STAB move with priority to not only circumvent its below average Speed but also threatens faster Pokemon such as Meowscarada, Iron Treads, and Cyclizar. Swords Dance allows Breloom to not only power up its STAB moves but takes advantage of the setup opportunities that Spore can provide. Bulldoze, however, can apply pressure to Poison-types such as Skuntank and Toxapex while also putting the foe at a potential Speed disadvantage.

Setup sweepers such as Paldean Tauros-F and Lucario appreciate Breloom's ability to potentially impede their checks such as Toxapex, Dondozo, and Quagsire, giving them ample setup opportunities. Paldean Tauros-F handles the Dark matchup fairly easily thanks to it avoiding being burned by Sableye while also resisting Meowscarada's and Chien-Pao's STAB moves. Lucario can threaten Fairy-types such as Flutter Mane and Iron Valiant with its STAB Bullet Punch. Assault Vest Iron Hands is another great partner that can handle the special attacking Fairy-types such as Flutter Mane and Hatterene while also handling Flying-types such as Dragonite and Iron Jugulis which could otherwise threaten Breloom out. Entry hazard control from Great Tusk is imperative to allow Breloom to keep its Focus Sash intact. Great Tusk also helps Breloom by providing Stealth Rock, which racks up chip damage with the switches Breloom can force. Gallade is a great partner that can threaten Poison-types such as Amoonguss and Toxapex. Iron Valiant is another fantastic partner for Breloom, providing Future Sight support to ward off the Poison-types that like to switch into both of Breloom's STAB moves. Its Fairy STAB moves also ease the Dark and Dragon matchups as well as being quite useful in the Fighting mirror.

Breloom is a solid choice for Fighting teams thanks to being able to put the opponent to sleep with a 100% accurate sleep move in Spore(Its kinda not really just spore, its the strong mach punch + Bullet Seed being able to remove troublesome guys for Fighting too tbh). Spore gives Breloom setup opportunities or the ability to cripple an otherwise major threat to the team such as Flying-types like Corviknight and Dragonite or Poison-types such as Toxapex, Iron Moth, and Clodsire (Dragonite isnt that much of a threat, maybe you can add something with sash + spore if ever?). Bullet Seed is a fantastic STAB move that threatens Water-types such as Dondozo, Rotom-W, and Azumarill (Azu can have sap sipper '-'). Mach Punch provides Breloom with a super strong STAB priority move to not only circumvent its below average Speed, but to also threaten faster Pokemon such as Meowscarada, Chien-Pao, and Cyclizar. Swords Dance allows Breloom to not only power up its STAB moves, but take advantage of the setup opportunities that Spore can provide. Rock Tomb, on the other hand, can nail Flying-types such as Dragonite or put the opponent at a Speed disadvantage. (Add mentions of Bulldoze)

Setup sweepers such as Tauros-Paldea-Blaze and Lucario appreciate Breloom's ability to potentially cripple their check, giving them ample setup opportunities. Lucario in particular can threaten Fairy-types such as Flutter Mane and Iron Valiant with its STAB Bullet Punch. Assault Vest Iron Hands is another great partner that can also handle the Fairy-types while also handling Flying-types such as Dragonite, Corviknight (hands doesnt handle corv), and Iron Jugulis which could otherwise threaten Breloom out. Entry hazard control from the likes of Great Tusk is imperative to allowing Breloom to keep its Focus Sash intact. Great Tusk also helps Breloom by providing Stealth Rock, which racks up chip damage with the switches Breloom can force. Gallade is a great partner that can threaten Poison-types such as Amoonguss and Toxapex for Breloom.

Breloom is a solid choice for Fighting teams thanks to being able to put the opponent to sleep with a 100% accurate sleep move in Spore alongside a super powerful STAB Bullet Seed and Mach Punch boosted by Technician, which can alleviate some of the pressure from the opponent (odd wording, name some matchups it helps with tho). Spore gives Breloom setup opportunities or the ability to cripple an otherwise major threat to the team such as Flying-types like Corviknight and Pelipper or Poison-types such as Toxapex, Iron Moth, and Clodsire. Focus Sash guarantees this at least once, provided Breloom can keep itself at full HP (add that this supports spore/SD too, since you provided some examples that usually OHKO it). Bullet Seed is a fantastic STAB move that threatens Water-types such as Dondozo and Rotom-W (washtom is usually faster than it, maybe Quag is a better mention, since that kinda walls a lot in Fighting). Mach Punch provides Breloom with a super strong STAB priority move to not only circumvent its below average Speed, but to also threaten faster Pokemon such as Meowscarada, Chien-Pao (Pao outprioritizes and Ice Shards you to dead, pick a diff example), and Cyclizar. Swords Dance allows Breloom to not only power up its STAB moves, but take advantage of the setup opportunities that Spore can provide. Bulldoze, however, can apply pressure to Poison-types such as Skuntank and Toxapex while also putting the opponent at a potential Speed disadvantage.

Setup sweepers such as Tauros-Paldea-Blaze and Lucario appreciate Breloom's ability to potentially cripple their check (which checks?), giving them ample setup opportunities. Lucario in particular can threaten Fairy-types such as Flutter Mane and Iron Valiant with its STAB Bullet Punch. (Pald dels with Dark better, and probably something else. Add that too) Assault Vest Iron Hands is another great partner that can also handle the Fairy-types (only the special ones) while also handling Flying-types such as Dragonite and Iron Jugulis which could otherwise threaten Breloom out. Entry hazard control from the likes of Great Tusk is imperative to allowing Breloom to keep its Focus Sash intact. Great Tusk also helps Breloom by providing Stealth Rock, which racks up chip damage with the switches Breloom can force. Gallade is a great partner that can threaten Poison-types such as Amoonguss and Toxapex for Breloom. Iron Valiant is another fantastic partner for Breloom, providing Future Sight support to ward off the Poison-types that like to switch into both of Breloom's STABs.

Breloom is a solid choice for Fighting teams thanks to being able to put the opponent to sleep with a 100% accurate sleep move in Spore alongside a super powerful STAB Bullet Seed and Mach Punch boosted by Technician, which can alleviate some of the pressure from the Dark and Water matchups. Spore gives Breloom setup opportunities or the ability to cripple impede (avoid using the word "cripple" in analyses, a word like "impede" would be preferred) an otherwise major threat to the team such as Flying-types like Corviknight and Pelipper or Poison-types such as Toxapex, Iron Moth, and Clodsire. Focus Sash guarantees this at least once, provided Breloom can keep itself at full HP, and also gives Breloom the opportunity to use Swords Dance as well. Bullet Seed is a fantastic STAB move that threatens Water-types such as Dondozo and Quagsire. (This is something people would know just by knowing type matchups) Mach Punch provides Breloom with a super strong STAB priority move to not only circumvent its below average Speed, but to also threaten faster Pokemon such as Meowscarada, Iron Treads, and Cyclizar. Swords Dance allows Breloom to not only power up its STAB moves, but take advantage of the setup opportunities that Spore can provide. Bulldoze, however, can apply pressure to Poison-types such as Skuntank and Toxapex while also putting the opponent at a potential Speed disadvantage.

Setup sweepers such as Tauros-Paldea-Blaze and Lucario appreciate Breloom's ability to potentially cripple impede their check (Checks such as what? Add a couple examples), giving them ample setup opportunities. Tauros-Paldea-Blaze handles the Dark matchup fairly easily thanks to it avoiding being burned by Sableye while also resisting both of Meowscarada's and Chien-Pao's STAB moves. On the other hand, Lucario can threaten Fairy-types such as Flutter Mane and Iron Valiant with its STAB Bullet Punch.

Iron Valiant is another fantastic partner for Breloom, providing Future Sight support to ward off the Poison-types that like to switch into both of Breloom's STABs. (I would also mention Iron Valiant being quite useful in the Fighting mirror as well as the Dark and Dragon matchups thanks to its Fairy STAB attacks)

Breloom is a solid choice for Fighting teams thanks to being able to put the opponent to sleep with a 100% accurate sleep move in a lot to describe the accuracy and effect of the move Spore alongside a super powerful Technician-boosted STAB moves Bullet Seed and Mach Punch boosted by Technician, which can alleviate some of the pressure from the Dark and Water Water and Dark changed the order to match the type order described prior matchups. Spore gives Breloom setup opportunities or the ability to impede an otherwise major threat threats to the team such as Flying-types like Corviknight and Pelipper or Poison-types such as Toxapex, Iron Moth, and Clodsire. changed to plural due to Flying-types and Poison-types Focus Sash guarantees this at least once,(rc) provided Breloom can keep itself at full HP,(rc) and also gives Breloom the opportunity to use Swords Dance as well. Bullet Seed is a fantastic STAB move that threatens Water-types such as like Dondozo and Quagsire. Mach Punch provides Breloom with a super strong STAB priority move with priority to not only circumvent its below average Speed,(rc) but to also threaten threatens faster Pokemon such as Meowscarada, Iron Treads, and Cyclizar. Swords Dance allows Breloom to not only power up its STAB moves,(rc) but take takes advantage of the setup opportunities that Spore can provide. you allude to this this previously when discussing Spore, so mentioning it twice may be redundant Bulldoze, however, can apply pressure to Poison-types such as Skuntank and Toxapex while also putting the opponent at a potential Speed disadvantage.

Setup sweepers such as Tauros-Paldea-Blaze Paldean Tauros-F and Lucario appreciate Breloom's ability to potentially impede their checks such as Toxapex, Dondozo, and Quagsire, giving them ample setup opportunities. Tauros-Paldea-Blaze Paldean Tauros-F handles the Dark matchup fairly easily thanks to it avoiding being burned by Sableye while also resisting both of Meowscarada's and Chien-Pao's STAB moves. On the other hand, this would make sense if you mentioned they're competing for a slot Lucario can threaten Fairy-types such as Flutter Mane and Iron Valiant with its STAB Bullet Punch. Assault Vest Iron Hands is another great partner that can also you don't mention Lucario handles the special fairies specifically handle the special attacking Fairy-types while also handling Flying-types such as Dragonite and Iron Jugulis which could otherwise threaten Breloom out. Entry hazard control from the likes of Great Tusk is imperative to allowing allow Breloom to keep its Focus Sash intact. Great Tusk also helps Breloom by providing Stealth Rock, which racks up chip damage with the switches Breloom can force. Gallade is a great partner that can threaten Poison-types such as Amoonguss and Toxapex for Breloom. implied since this is the Breloom analysis Iron Valiant is another fantastic partner for Breloom, providing Future Sight support to ward off the Poison-types that like to switch into both of Breloom's STABs STAB moves. Its Fairy STAB moves also eases ease moves/ease due to non-specified move (since one may assume physical STAB moves from the beginning of this sentence); if you use Moonblast, which I believe you imply, you can drop the plural and keep the singular the Dark and Dragon matchups as well as being quite useful in the Fighting mirror.
