Charjabug is the premier Sticky Web user in the metagame thanks to its solid Bug / Electric typing letting it threaten Hattrem and pivot out of common Defog users with Volt Switch. It's also blessed with a solid Defense stat and a resistance to Fighting, which lets it switch into Machoke and Galarian Farfetch'd with ease. X-Scissor is Charjabug's primary attack, which is capable of 2HKOing Hattrem. Volt Switch lets Charjabug generate momentum and safely switch out of setup sweepers such as Hakamo-o, Klang, and Pawniard, which all would otherwise use it as setup fodder. Lastly, Thunder Wave lets Charjabug lower the Speed of Pokemon that are unaffected by Sticky Web such as Haunter and Klang.
Charjabug should avoid setting up Sticky Web if the opponent's entry hazard control has not already fainted. Charjabug should instead use Volt Switch to pivot around common Defog users such as Togetic, and Vullaby or use X-Scissor if it predicts Hattrem to switch in. Pawniard makes for a solid partner because its Defiant ability dissuades the use of Defog. Wallbreakers like Machoke, and Haunter make great use of the speed control that Charjabug provides and benefit greatly from its ability to bring them in safely with a slow Volt Switch, the latter also being an offensive spinblocker. Charjabug has no reliable recovery and is very prone to being worn down, so pairing it with Wish users like Clefairy and Togetic can increase its longevity; the aforementioned Fairy-types also function as great physically defensive walls and can alleviate some pressure from Charjabug. Charjabug's weakness to entry hazards limits the number of times it is able to switch in, so Rapid Spin users like Wartortle and Carkol are beneficial. Spikes users such as Carkol, Roselia, and Ferroseed not only form solid entry hazard-stacking cores but can act as specially defensive walls covering Charjabug's mediocre special bulk.
