[OVERVIEW]

Breloom has a lot a lot of positive aspects, including its movepool, ability, and typing. For one, it has Spore, the only 100% accurate sleep move in the game, (AC) which can cripple anything that isn't a Grass-type. This allows Breloom to put pressure on at least one of its checks or counters, making playing around this Pokemon a pain. Also, many of Breloom's (Add apostrophe) other moves benefit greatly from Technician, (AC) including Rock Tomb, Bullet Seed, and priority Mach Punch. It can even put sleep slower threats to sleep and capitalize on the free turns with Swords Dance, sweeping weakened teams with said Mach Punch. Along with this, Breloom has just the offensive typing that lets it it needs to check common offensive threats including the omnipotent (You can't be omnipotent if Breloom checks it.) Colossoil and Kyurem-B.

But Breloom is far from perfect. Its However, Breloom's horrible defensive typing and stats mean it really struggles against anything faster than it that resists Mach Punch,(AC). This can be seen with Pokemon like such as Talonflame, Cawmodore, or and Latios, (AC) among many, many others. Its typing particularly suffers also, especially against Grass-types who that can absorb every move coming at them including Necturna, Tomohawk, (Tomo isn't a Grass-type and Mega Venusaur. This, stacked on top of its very subpar Speed tier, means that a lot of common Pokemon including Charizard, (which one?) Tornadus-T, (AC) and Latios can outspeed and KO it easily, making Breloom overly over-reliant on Mach Punch.

[SET COMMENTS]
========

Spore is a great utility move, as it is guaranteed to cripple one Pokemon (besides the uncommon Grass-types). (Add hyphen and capitalize G) This allows Breloom to get rid of one of its checks or counters for a couple of turns, supporting both the team and itself in a lot of ways, for example, such as providing opportunities for Breloom or its teammates (I presume? In any case, you should mention how it supports the team as well) to set up. Mach Punch reaches 90 Base Power after STAB and Technician, meaning Breloom can clean or revenge kill very well thanks to its great Attack. Bullet Seed is great for breaking through Substitutes and complements Mach Punch very well, scoring hits against Gliscor and Azumarill. Rock Tomb can easily take care of offensive Pokemon that can normally switch in to into Breloom, including Charizard, Talonflame, and Tornadus-T. It Rock Tomb also lowers the opponent's foe's Speed and is boosted by Technician, meaning that so (repetition) Breloom can outpace some threats and put them to sleep with Spore. With Stealth Rock support, (AC) Rock Tomb can beat some defensive checks such as Pyroak. Swords Dance can be used instead of Rock Tomb to boost Breloom's attack by 2 two stages, allowing Breloom to sweep much easier.

Set Details
========
(Insert line break)
Life Orb boosts damage output, allowing Breloom to dent Pokemon that it might normally struggle with, including Crucibelle. Life Orb is also necessary to get the OHKO on Stratagem (with what?). However, Focus Sash makes Breloom a blanket check against set up (Remove space) sweepers, allowing it to live survive at least one hit and send put a Pokemon to sleep with Spore. 252 Attack and Speed EVs boost Breloom's Attack and Speed make Breloom as powerful and fast as much as (repetition) possible, letting it KO Pokemon like such as ("like" is fine) Mega Gyarados and outspeed Pokemon like such as (again, "like" is fine) defensive Heatran. A Jolly nature is necessary to further outpace maximum Speed Scizor, Adamant Bisharp, and neutral-natured Altaria.

Usage Tips
========
(Insert line break)
Breloom gets worn down very quickly, (AC) and, (AC) (comma in the wrong spot) with its bad defenses, it needs all the HP it can get. (I got confused and looked up to check what the HP EV investment was. I would strongly recommend rewording this to be: "should preserve its health as much as possible." or something similar to avoid this.) Because of this, try to bring Breloom in on free switches or through a slow U-turns or Volt Switches. While Breloom has access to Rock Tomb, Flying-types are deadly and Breloom is best kept well away from them unless you can predict the switch. Try to keep from setting up Swords Dance until late-game (Add hyphen) when Breloom can clean up with Mach Punch. Breloom can also function well as a revenge killer for a lot of Pokemon, (AC) including Stratagem and Cawdomore Cawmodore. Sometimes it'(apostrophe)s worth using Spore more tactically to hit incapacitate a threat that otherwise wouldn't switch in on Breloom.

Team Options
========

Breloom appreciates Pokemon that can deal with its checks and counters. For example, Mega Manectric and Stratagem can take care of Flying-types, Weavile and Colossoil can beat a lot of Psychic-types, (AC) and Talonflame and Crucibelle handle Fire types;, (Remove comma and add a semicolon.) all of these types are difficult for Breloom to handle. Breloom also likes appreciates (Used "like" later on in the sentence. Feels repetitive) Stealth Rock support from the likes of Crucibelle and Heatran to help pressure Flying-types, (AC) which Breloom does not like. Good Stealth Rock setters include Crucibelle and Heatran. Since Breloom is good at eliminating Dark-, Water-, and Ground-types, (AC) it can pave the way for a Pokemon like such as (no need to replace "like" with "such as" all the time) Victini. Breloom appreciates free switchins switches in, so a Volt-Switch (Remove hyphen. Volt Switch is two words) or U-turn from a Pokemon like such as ("like" is fine here) Crucibelle and Mega Manetric Mega Manectric or Crucibelle (Mega Manectric Volt Switches, while Crucibelle U-turns) works very well. Set up (Remove space. Setup here is one word) sweepers like such as ("like" is better b/c not all setup sweepers beat Fire-types) Naviathan, Azumarill, and Mega Charizard-(RH) X can benefit from Spore and set up on fire Fire-types; Pokemon like (I'm keeping this like because I believe you're comparing the Pokemon to Naviathan. If you meant to use Naviathan as an example, replace "like" with "such as".) Naviathan can do this very especially well. (why?) Reliable entry hazard removal is a must if Breloom is using Focus Sash, as it fails to fulfill its role if Focus Sash gets broken. (Remove line break)
Pokemon that can do this well include Steel-types (Add hyphen) like such as Skarmory, Kitsunoh, and Scizor. However, Flying-types like such as Tomohawk, Zapdos, and Togekiss can also work well.

Other Options
=============
(Insert line break)
Poison Heal is a good way to beat defensive teams but falters against offensive teams. Substitute allows Breloom to set up on the forced switch and works well in tandem with Focus Punch, (AC) but the the combination of Substitute damage and Life Orb recoil whittles it down very quickly. Substitute can work well in tandem with Focus Punch though. Breloom can also work with use an Adamant nature if outspeeding Mamoswine and Mega Altaria isn't important for your team and you appreciate the extra damage on walls like such as Clefable.

Checks and Counters
===================
(Insert line break)
**Grass-types** (Add hyphen and lowercase t): Pokemon with a Spore immunity and Bullet Seed resistance like such as Mega Venusaur and Necturna can deal big damage back to Breloom with their STABs or coverage moves and take only a little bit of damage from Breloom.

**Flying-types** (Add hyphen and lowercase t): Almost all Flying-types (Add hyphen and capitalize F) such as Tornadus-T, Talonflame, and Mega Charizard Y can deal with Breloom offensively or defensively, (AC) and Breloom's 4x weakness to Flying doesn't help. Good examples of this include Tornadus-T, Talonflame, and Charizard. However, these Pokemon can easily be KO'd KOed by a Rock Tomb. (Couple comments: 1- I would prefer to see this written: "However, Breloom can KO these Pokemon with Rock Tomb." 2- You say "KO'd by a", are they OHKOed? If so, I think you should specifically mention that. If they aren't OHKOed, remove the "an" as it takes more than one Rock Tomb.) (I would also like to see it written that way. Active voice all day.) Defensive checks including Tomohawk and Skarmory are more tricky to take down, although Spore can cripple these Pokemon, allowing to allow a partner to come in on the free switch.

**Priority Users**: Faster priority moves can 2KHO 2HKO Breloom if not resisted, such as Weavile's Ice Shard, and some can OHKO it, such as Talonflame's Brave Bird. This includes Brave Bird from Talonflame and an Ice Shard from Weavile. (I think this should be rewritten: "This includes attacks such as Talonflame's Brave Bird and Weavile's Ice Shard.") (Good instinct, but Weavile's Ice Shard isn't an OHKO.)

**Poison-types** (Add hyphen and lowercase t): Common Poison-types (Add hyphen and capitalize P) including Gengar and Plasmanta resist Breloom's STAB attacks and can hit back with a super effective Sludge Wave pretty easily.

**Fire-types** (Add hyphen and lowercase t): Fast Fire-types (Add hyphen and capitalize F) like such as Talonflame and Volkraken can take little damage from Breloom's STABs moves and hit back super effectively. However, they must watch out for Rock Tomb or Spore can be used (specified b/c you can target anything with Rock Tomb or Spore) on the switch.

**Psychic-types** (Add hyphen and lowercase t): Most Psychic-types (Add hyphen) resist Breloom's Mach Punch, (AC) and Pokemon like such as ("like" is better) Latios and Latias also resist Bullet Seed. However, they can be slept put to sleep with Spore and hit for neutral damage with Rock Tomb.

Decent stuff all around, Eien. Be sure to look this over.
