Breloom @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Superpower
- Bullet Seed
- Mach Punch
- Force Palm

Boasting a sky-high Attack stat, further boosted by a Choice Band, Breloom functions as a potent wallbreaker in the ORAS OU Metagame. Throwing out powerful, Technician-boosted Force Palms and Bullet Seeds allows it to overwhelm even resistant Pokemon, such as Talonflame, Tornadus-T, and Volcarona, while cleaning weakened teams with its forceful Mach Punches. Furthermore, Breloom's Mach Punch tears through HO because of how hard it is to switch into. Its raw power allows it to quickly tear holes in teams lacking a dedicated hard counter such as Mega Latias or Tangrowth, but even the latter can be 2HKOed by Superpower. However, its mediocre Speed and low bulk make it reliant on solid pivoting support from Pokemon such as Tornadus-T, Rotom-W, and Mega Manectric to bring it in safely. The latter two also pressure Flying-types such as the aforementioned Talonflame and Tornadus-T, which pressure Breloom. Tyranitar is a standout partner, as it is able to Pursuit trap Breloom's biggest counter in Mega Latias, removing it for Breloom to freely punch holes in the opposing team.
