[SET COMMENTS]
Ribombee is the premier Sticky Web setter for Bug teams thanks to its high Speed, access to further utility in Stun Spore, and Shield Dust letting it always get Sticky Web up against threats such as Choice Scarf Sneasler without worrying about status conditions. Moonblast allows Ribombee to hit Dark- and Fighting-types such as Chien-Pao and Great Tusk, which can either outspeed Ribombee or remove Sticky Web thanks to Rapid Spin. Stun Spore allows Ribombee to annoy threats such as Flutter Mane and Choice Scarf Walking Wake, letting its teammates outspeed and remove said foes later on in the game. Quiver Dance allows Ribombee to exert pressure throughout a game while potentially turning it into a win condition in the Dragon and Fighting matchups if it is not needed as a lead. Focus Sash lets Ribombee get Sticky Web up as a lead without having to fear being OHKOed due to its poor bulk.

Choice Scarf Kleavor is an excellent teammate for Ribombee, as it appreciates being able to outspeed nearly everything in the metagame under Sticky Web, including opposing Choice Scarf users such as Roaring Moon and Meowscarada. It also appreciates Ribombee hitting Fighting-types, such as Great Tusk and Iron Valiant, with Moonblast, allowing it to spam Stone Axe late-game to clean up weakened teams. In return, Kleavor threatens Fire-types such as Torkoal and Moltres that Bug teams struggle to break through. It also compounds with Ribombee's entry hazard pressure thanks to Stone Axe setting Stealth Rock. Swords Dance Scizor is another good teammate for Ribombee, as it appreciates being able to hit normally-faster threats that don't mind Bullet Punch, like Heatran and Walking Wake, hard thanks to Sticky Web not forcing it to rely on Bullet Punch for damage. In compensation, Scizor uses its Poison immunity to come in on threats such as Choice Scarf Sneasler that would otherwise threaten Ribombee and use them as a setup opportunity. It also removes Hatterene, which is invaluable to let Ribombee set up Sticky Web. Slither Wing is another great teammate, as it removes common Steel-types such as Hisuian Goodra and Empoleon that Ribombee wouldn't be able to do much against. Forretress can keep hazards off of the field to enhance Ribombee's late-game sweeping potential and preserve its Focus Sash while being able to set hazards itself and take on threats such as Kingambit with Body Press. It also, similarly to Kleavor, can add to the hazard pressure by setting Spikes. Volcarona benefits greatly from Sticky Web, as after one Quiver Dance, it outspeeds Choice Scarf users that would otherwise attempt to revenge kill it, such as Roaring Moon and Urshifu-R. Ribombee, in turn, appreciates the fact that Volcarona can switch in on threats such as Gholdengo and stay healthy while being able to hit Steel-types with a strong Fiery Dance. Lokix can clean teams weakened by Ribombee thanks to its strong U-turn and First Impression while hitting Ghost-types such as Skeledirge and Gholdengo that pose large roadblocks for Bug teams and amplifying the effects of Sticky Web with Knock Off. In exchange, Lokix appreciates being able to outspeed common threats such as Choice Specs Flutter Mane under Sticky Web. Heracross can, in a similar vein to Slither Wing, deal with Steel-types such as Heatran and Kingambit while also using Knock Off to both remove key items from defensive behemoths such as Toxapex and increase the effects of Sticky Web on the opposing team. It appreciates Sticky Web to patch up its lackluster Speed. Finally, Frosmoth is another Quiver Dance user that has massive special bulk thanks to Ice Scales that also appreciates Sticky Web patching up its low Speed.

Bug
--------
Ribombee can also run a dual screens + Light Clay set to further facilitate its team's setup attempts, dropping Stun Spore and Quiver Dance; however, the loss of Focus Sash is notable and getting both Reflect and Light Screen up at times can be difficult due to Ribombee's very lacking bulk. Skill Swap can be used over Quiver Dance in order to force Gliscor out by removing its Poison Heal, since Gliscor is a major problem for Bug teams.

In return, Kleavor threatens Fire-types such as Torkoal Ogerpon-H and Moltres that Bug teams struggle to break through.

Swords Dance Scizor is another good teammate for Ribombee, as it appeciates not having to rely on Bullet Punch to KO faster threats. (like?)

- Maybe joint Scizor + Sturdy Forretress being checks to Flutter Mane


Volcarona is a great user of Sticky Web, as after one Quiver Dance, it outspeeds a lot of the metagame. In return, Volcarona can switch in on threats such as Gholdengo and Sneasler and stay healthy, while hitting Steel-types with a strong Fiery Dance. (This transition needs some work. "In return" is fluff" and the first sentence indicates that you arent going to cover the topic, id rather you just be more direct and cut the fluff and say "Volcarona is a great Sticky Web abuser as it has access to Quiver Dance, allowing it to muscle and outpace Pokemon like xyz")

- light clay + reflect + light screen add to OO. If you arent familiar with this set i can write this section for you

- For the teammates section i see sticky web kinda scattered around but we have to make sure we really explain 1. what the Pokemon in question does and 2. the sticky web being more secondary in terms of importance. we also mentioned "Choice Scarf Sneasler" 6 times in a 2 paragraph analysis. Lets try and use some examples or remove some things so its not so much repetition

will recheck after these comments

Done, thanks for the check roxie. I have no idea about the Dual Screens set, so I'd greatly appreciate your help with writing it.

Quiver Dance allows Ribombee to exert pressure throughout a game without having to be a lead, while potentially turning it into a wincon win condition in the Dragon and Fighting matchups. (Focus Sash as item to allow Ribombee to safely lead and set Sticky Web without fear of being OHKOed)

Choice Scarf Kleavor is an excellent teammate for Ribombee, as it appreciates being able to outspeed nearly everything in the metagame under Sticky Web, including opposing Choice Scarf users such as Roaring Moon and Meowscarada. It also appreciates Ribombee hitting Fighting-types (such as Great Tusk and Iron Valiant) with Moonblast, allowing it to spam Stone Axe lategame to clean up weakened teams. (Kleavor also compounds on offensive pressure of Sticky Web with Stealth Rock from Stone Axe) In return, Kleavor threatens Fire-types such as Torkoal and Moltres that Bug teams struggle to break through. Swords Dance Scizor is another good teammate for Ribombee, as it appeciates being able to hit (Sticky Web slowing down?) faster threats that don't mind Bullet Punch, like Heatran and Walking Wake, hard. It also takes advantage of Choice Scarf Sneasler to set up (rephrase for clarity; Scizor uses Poison immunity to switch into and threaten Sneasler for Ribombee. Sciz also really important for removing Hatt which blocks Sticky Web). Slither Wing is another great teammate, as it removes common Steel-types such as Hisuian Goodra and Empoleon that Ribombee wouldn't be able to do much against. Forretress can keep hazards off of the field to enhance Ribombee's lategame sweeping threats potential and preserve its Focus Sash, while being able to set hazards itself and take on Flutter Mane (Flutter Mane mention is iffy here since Forre can only win in a clean 1v1. I think something like Forre being able to take on Kingambit with Body Press is more pertinent. Forre also sets Spikes to compound on Sticky Web). Volcarona is a great user utilizer of Sticky Web, as after one Quiver Dance, it outspeeds Choice Scarf users that would attempt to revenge kill it, such as Roaring Moon and Urshifu-R. Ribombee, in turn, appreciates the fact that Volcarona can switch in on threats such as Gholdengo and Sneasler (you do not want Volc to get status'd) and stay healthy, while being able to hit Steel-types with a strong Fiery Dance (in particular Corv because it threatens Defog). Lokix can clean teams weakened by Ribombee - its extreme frailty also means that it usually cannot stay for long, so Sticky Web lets it use its usually Tinted Lens-boosted U-turn first to both heavily damage the foe and pivot out into a defensive answer. (filler; just say Lokix appreciates foes' Speed being reduced by Sticky Web) Finally, it hits Skeledirge and Gholdengo with Knock Off, which are big roadblocks to Bug teams otherwise (Knock Off also removes HDBs and opens up foes to Sticky Web). (Frosmoth and Heracross as other offensive Bug teammates who benefit from Sticky Web due to their lackluster Speed; Heracross especially notable because it deals with Steel-types and has Knock Off)

[OTHER OPTIONS]
Ribombee can also run a Dual Screens + Light Clay set to further facilitate its offensive teammates setting up, dropping Stun Spore and Quiver Dance. (However you miss Focus Sash) (Skill Swap can be used over Quiver Dance as a surprise move to cripple Gliscor and force it out; important because Bug teams struggle to get through it)

Quiver Dance allows Ribombee to exert pressure throughout a game without having to be a lead (RC) while potentially turning it into a win condition in the Dragon and Fighting matchups.
