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.
