Ribombee's access to Sticky Web, high Speed tier, and support movepool allow it to carve a niche as a reliable Sticky Web setter. U-turn lets Ribombee pivot its teammates into favorable matchups. Stun Spore paralyzes Crobat, allowing Ribombee's teammates to easily revenge kill it and keep Sticky Web up by denying Defog. Focus Sash lets Ribombee survive any one hit from foes like Choice Scarf Heracross, Choice Scarf Flygon, and Talonflame.

Pokemon such as Slurpuff, Polteageist, and Cloyster can find setup opportunities against common revenge killers such as Raikou and Choice Scarf Flygon. Lucario, Xurkitree, and Mimikyu are effective Sticky Web users, as they are harder to revenge kill with Sticky Web up. Sticky Web teams appreciate having fast Pokemon like Raikou and Cobalion, which are not completely reliant on Sticky Web to be effective. With Sticky Web up, they outspeed Choice Scarf users like Gardevoir and Xurkitree.

put more emphasis on these guys - you're not just using them cause they can set up on scarfers (although thats obviously good), they're potent sweepers in their own right and can run adamant/modest now that they don't need to outspeed mienshao

Reflect and Light Screen are alternative options over U-turn and or Stun Spore to allow Ribombee's teammates easier set up, but at the cost of thwarting Defog Crobat and the ability to pivot teammates in.
i wouldn't include these if it were up to me but ill leave it for someone else to decide

QC 1/2, nice work

I am very unsure on the adamant / modest thing Idt we should recommend people to run an attack boosting nature on them. They will now miss out on scarf flygon and are reliant on webs being up for Mienshao
I implemented this anyways
Screens I think are a fine option, you miss out on crobat but some teammates like cloyster can brutally punish crobat if they get in.

Ribombee's access to Sticky Web, paired its high speed tier outspeeding the vast majority of the metagame, and its support movepool make it a reliable Sticky Web setter. Ribombee is the only viable Sticky Web setter is necessary to the functioning of Sticky Web teams (bit oddly phrased). Stun Spore thwarts Defog attempts from Crobat, capable of preventing scenarios where the Defog user comes in with a U-turn teammate after Ribombee's sash has been broken punishing it with Paralysis (again could use rephrasing). U-turn lets Ribombee try and pivot its teammates into favorable one versus one matchups and set Sticky Web for later if need be. Focus Sash lets Ribombee survive any take one hit and get Sticky Web up from the likes of Choice Scarf Heracross, Choice Scarf Flygon, and Talonflame.

Ribombee's niche is as a Sticky Web setter so it should only be used on Sticky Web teams. Lucario, Xurkitree, and Mimikyu make effective Sticky Web abusers being harder to revenge kill with Sticky Web up. Sticky Web teams appreciate having fast Pokemon like Raikou and Cobalion as these Pokemon are not reliant on Sticky Webs which are ignored by many common Flying-types and Heavy-duty Boots Pokemon to be functional. They also with webs up outspeed Choice Scarf Pokemon like Gardevoir and Chandelure. Choice Scarf Pokemon such as Flygon and Raikou that can revenge kill the Sticky Web teams Pokemon even with Sticky Web up can be turned into set up opportunity by teammates like Slurpuff, Polteagiest and Cloyster (switch this sentence so teammates are at the beginning, also make sure you dont make it seem like raikou is scarf).

Ribombee's access to Sticky Web, paired its high speed tier outspeeding which allows it to outspeed the vast majority of the metagame, and its support movepool make it allows it to carve a niche as a reliable Sticky Web setter. Ribombee is the only viable Sticky Web setter making it necessary to the functioning of Sticky Web teams. (makes it more concise, sticky web setter being used on sticky web teams is obvious, so no need to say that). Stun Spore thwarts Defog attempts from Crobat, allowing its teammates to easily revenge kill paralyzed Crobat and keep Sticky Web up. U-turn lets Ribombee try and pivot its teammates into favorable one versus one matchups and set Sticky Web for later if need be. (you can save it to set up webs later even if you dont run u-turn. bring this sentence before the stun spore sentence btw, follow the move order in ur set). Focus Sash lets Ribombee survive any one hit from the likes of Choice Scarf Heracross, Choice Scarf Flygon, and Talonflame.

Raikou and Choice Scarf Flygon can revenge kill the Sticky Web teams Pokemon even with Sticky Web up they can be turned into set up opportunity by teammates like Slurpuff, Polteagiest and Cloyster. Pokemon such as Slurpuff, Polteageist, and Cloyster can find set-up opportunities against common revenge killers such as Raikou and Choice Scarf Flygon. (fixed sentence to make it more concise and coherent while retaining the same meaning). Ribombee's niche is as a Sticky Web setter so it should only be used on Sticky Web teams. (with the edit on first paragraph, u wouldnt need this as it wld be just a repeat mention) Lucario, Xurkitree, and Mimikyu make effective Sticky Web abusers being as they are harder to revenge kill with Sticky Web up. Sticky Web teams appreciate having fast Pokemon like Raikou and Cobalion as these Pokemon that are not completely reliant on Sticky Webs which are ignored by many common Flying-types and Heavy-duty Boots Pokemon to be functional effective. (sticky webs are always nice and any mon can be functional, so just slight fixes here). They also with webs up With Sticky Web up, they outspeed Choice Scarf Pokemon like Gardevoir and (and who?)
