Congratulations to Avendesora for winning the week! You will be added to the Hall of Fame soon.
Moving on to week 3...
Breloom is a suprisingly strong physical attacker with it's huge base 130 attack being higher than OU staples; Weavile and Bisharp while also rivalling Pokémon like Garchomp and Mega-Charizard X. It's movepool and abilities are quite varied as well letting it play a variety of roles such as support and attacker with it's ability Poison Heal giving it both a status immunity and passive healing that's better than leftovers while it's Hidden Ability, Technician, leans in to it's access to useful but 'weak' attacks like Mach Punch, Bullet Seed and Rock Tomb.
Aside from it's damage dealing moves, Breloom has been blessed with the coveted 100% accurate sleep move; Spore. By having this move alone, Breloom can force mindgames that benefit the Breloom user as they restrict the options and tools the opponent has. The two choice items of Choice Band and Choice Scarf help Breloom abuse it's accessibility to Spore especially since running a Choice Band allows Breloom to forgo Swords Dance in order to do insane damage with it's low base power moves through the multiplier stacking of STAB, Technician and the Choice Band while the Choice Scarf allows Breloom to get off fast sleep with speed on par with the ubiquitous Choice Scarf Volcanion.
I hope to see some creativity with Breloom that takes advantage of its many talents especially now with the prevalence of Sand structures and Dark types in the tier.
The deadline for submissions this week is 13.09.2024 at 20:59 GMT +3.
Have fun and happy posting!

As this weeks pokémon of choice is Breloom, and it so happens that I have built a really recent Breloom team that I have been getting really good success with on the ladder, I'll share it with y'all.
The team, of course, is built around Breloom. It has a twist, however, as this Breloom set is a Swords Dance Poison Heal set featuring Facade instead of a grass stab. Pairing it with the support of Mega Alakazam's offensive prowess was the second step for creating this team. In fact, this Mega Alakazam has future sight to further support this Breloom set in breaking teams much faster. As this Swords Dance Breloom is unable to tatch ghost type pokémon whatsoever, a pursuit user was mandatory, so Weavile was added. With it's incredible speed tier, ability to use Knock Off and priority in Ice Shard, it was the best option amongst the pursuit users in the tier. Slowbro makes a return from last weeks team, with the same item and all! Besides letting Weavile in scot-free, it also lets Breloom activate its Toxic Orb without coming in on undesired Knock Offs or any other attacks that would do big damage. As a bonus, it also lets in Mega Alakazam, who will have trouble coming in on attacks as well. The last two pokémon from here were quite clear, as I needed both a ground type, a rocks setter, a hazard removal, and a ground immunity. So Excadrill and Thundurus made their way into the team. Excadrill is the ground type of choice because it can both set up rocks and remove them from your side of the field. Thundurus, on the other hand, is my ground immunity of choice because of mainly two reasons: it is really good at grabbing momentum for the team, and most important of all, it spread paralysis, a really useful status for Breloom to be even more dangerous, as one of the best ways to deal with it is to revenge kill it.

SD Breloom + FSight MZam + Keldeo
Since almost nothing in the tier seems to be walling Breloom with future sight support, I've decided to teambuild around SD Breloom and Future Sight Mega Alakazam.
I choose Keldeo as my next member since he offers ice resistance and improves the team's performance against offensive teams. Keldeo also appreciates Future Sight support from Mega Alakazam.
I choose Hippowdon for my next teammate because it provides Stealth Rock and helps against Mega Lopunny, Mega Alakazam, Mega Diancie, Volcarona, Thundurus, and Mega Manectric.
My next Pokemon is Excadrill since it can be used to check sweepers like Volcarona, Mega Charizard X, Dragonite, and Mega Altaria. It also helps against Clefable.
The final member is Tornadus-Therian because it helps against Serperior and offers a ground immunity
Edit :
1) I use poison heal over technician for better matchup against rotom-wash
2) Shadow ball over recover for better matchup against Mega Latias and Modest Mzam

Bre-Voir Sand
Poison Heal Breloom is great to bully Rotoms and other water types. Therefore Sand is a great partner. Sp.def Hippo leaves them with a choice: Water move and risk a free Breloom, else they could Volt Switch and eat a Toxic
The sand combination provides you with a lot of utility, defensive coverage and speed control.
I like M-Gardevoir here because it breaks down about every wall that is in your way, while being remarkably bulky on the sp.def side. Tornadus is a great way to make progress while staying relatively save and in combination with Rotom-Wash allows you to easily pivot into your wall breakers.
My friend kingofking ran the test games for the team and seemed to really enjoy himself.
That is the goal here: Have a team that provides defensive stability, while maintaing the speed/pressure and aggression paired with great tools to break down any team.
Give it a try and enjoy climbing

I chose choice band breloom because of it's 130 base atk and having the access to technician ability to deal heavy damages, next we have excadrill as a spinner and to deal with fairy types we have substitute on it to avoid willowisps from cofag/rotom on 1v1 situation. Tornadus-T and heatran to deal with stuff like Lati's/kazam/volcarona while heatran providing rocks. cofagrigus to check fighting types and threatening opponents team with burn and setting up tspikes to wear down the opponent's team with poison last we have Mega slowbro to check the physical threat's.
Threats to the team: Kyurem-B/volcarona/ttar
