After Poison Heal Breloom activates its Toxic Orb, its immunity to status means it doesn't have to fear attempts to status it from Thunder Wave Galarian Slowbro and Scald users such as Vaporeon and Milotic. However, this could be completely negated if Breloom takes a Knock Off or Trick too early from Mienshao or Choice Scarf Florges. Seed Bomb gives Breloom a STAB move to let it reliably threaten bulky Water- and Ground-types like Vaporeon, Swampert, and Palossand, whereas Toxic allows Breloom to pressure troublesome Ghost-types that it would struggle with otherwise such as Chandelure, Hisuian Typhlosion, and Brambleghast as well as physical walls like Sylveon and Bellibolt. Protect allows Breloom to activate its Toxic Orb, gives it a free turn of Poison Heal recovery, and lets it scout out Choice item users like Flygon and Munkidori. Breloom could also choose to opt for other moves too, though. For example, Leech Seed allows Breloom to make progress against bulkier foes like Orthworm and Bronzong, Substitute lets it take advantage of passive Pokemon that give it more turns to heal such as Vaporeon and Gligar, Drain Punch lets Breloom target Dark- and Steel-types like Incineroar and Copperajah, Focus Punch pairs exceptionally well with Substitute and lets Breloom do major damage against the aforementioned foes and others like Diancie and Tsareena, and Swords Dance, which should be used in combination with Bulldoze as its last move, allows Breloom to become more threatening more quickly. The EV spread allows Breloom to maximize Poison Heal recovery, outspeed Dragalge, and OHKO Vileplume with a +2 Tera Normal Facade.
Breloom appreciates pivot support from Flygon, Mienshao, Incineroar, and Inteleon, as they can force in Water-types like Milotic and Vaporeon for Breloom to take advantage of, and they grant it free entry because if it switches into a Scald without its Toxic Orb activated already, it risks getting burned. Physical walls like Galarian Slowbro, Milotic, and Dragalge are great partners for Breloom, since they can handle faster, more powerful foes like Mienshao, Chandelure, and Paldean Tauros-W. Bulky Poison-types like Galarian Slowbro, Vileplume, and Dragalge can tank Breloom's attacks when it's unboosted, so it best partners with Psychic- and Ground-types like Munkidori, Meloetta, and Flygon to check them. Flying-types like Kilowattrel and Tornadus can easily revenge kill Breloom. Thus, it appreciates Pokemon like Bellibolt, Diancie, and Rotom-H to take advantage of them. Breloom works well as a partner to Steel- and Dark-types like Copperajah, Bronzong, and Incineroar, as they can handle Fairy- and Psychic-types like Sylveon, Florges, and Meloetta. Breloom synergizes really well with Incineroar, Chandelure, and Hisuian Typhlosion, as it resists Ground-type attacks and can beat both Water- and Dark-types like Milotic and Scrafty for them. Pokemon that hate Scald like Flygon, Paldean Tauros-F, and Mienshao appreciate Breloom for dealing with Scald users like Vaporeon and Milotic for them.
