Ribombee is an excellent Sticky Web setter in the metagame due to its amazing Speed tier and great utility moves in Stun Spore and Skill Swap, allowing it to set up Sticky Web very often while also being to OHKO prominent threats such as Hydreigon, Conkeldurr and Dragapult due to its decent Special Attack stat. Sticky Web allows it to cripple otherwise fast Pokemon such as Zeraora, Dragapult, and Gengar; allowing slow, powerful wallbreakers to outspeed and deal significant damage to them. Stun Spore is used to cripple Pokemon like Aegislash, Corviknight and Excadrill that are not phased by Moonblast. Skill Swap grants Ribombee the ability to set up Sticky Web against Magic Bounce users such as Hatterene and Xatu.

Ribombee fits only on hyper offensive teams, as its Sticky Web can be abused by various wallbreakers. Pokemon such as Crawdaunt and Bisharp highly benefit from Ribombee's Sticky Web support. Bisharp is a near mandatory teammate on Sticky Web teams due to its ability to deter Defoggers such as Mandibuzz and Corviknight due to Defiant, making it an amazing pick on these teams. Offensive Ghost-types such as Dragapult and Gengar can prevent Rapid Spin users such as Excadrill from removing Sticky Web while also posing as a large threat due to their sweeping potential. Setup sweepers such as Terrakion and Hydreigon also benefit from Sticky Web as it is significantly harder to revenge kill them due to the speed drop, allowing them to break through teams with ease. Excadrill is also a great teammate due to its access to both Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin, allowing it to set up Stealth Rock while also removing the opponents hazards.

Ribombee is the best arguments can be made for other Sticky Web setters, so maybe just say "great" or something alike Sticky Web setter in the metagame due to its amazing Speed tier and great utility moves in Stun Spore and Skill Swap, allowing it to set up Sticky Web very often while also being able to threaten and kinda redundant OHKO prominent threats such as Hydreigon, Conkeldurr and Dragapult due to its decent Special Attack stat. Sticky Web allows it to cripple otherwise fast Pokemon such as Zeraora, Dragapult and Gengar, allowing slow, powerful wallbreakers to outspeed and deal significant damage to them. Stun Spore is used to cripple Pokemon like Aegislash, Corviknight and Excadrill that are not phased by Moonblast. Skill Swap grants Ribombee the ability to set up Sticky Web against Magic Bounce users such as Hatterene and Xatu; however you can replace that with U-turn, which allows it to pivot out of an unfavourable matchup, as well as letting in its teammates safely in. Not really worth mentioning (it's a fast U-turn, which doesn't allow for a safe switch-in).

Ribombee fits only on hyper offensive teams, as its Sticky Web can be abused by various wallbreakers. Pokemon such as Crawdaunt, Dracovish, and Bisharp highly benefit from Ribombee's Sticky Web support; the latter of which can deter Defoggers such as Mandibuzz and Corviknight, making them great teammates. This makes it sound like Mandibuzz and Corviknight are great teammates. Are you referring to Bisharp? Make it singular. You should put more emphasis on it and say that Bisharp is near mandatory as a teammate. Offensive Ghost-types such as Dragapult and Gengar can prevent Rapid Spin users such as Excadrill from removing Sticky Web while also posing as a large threat due to their sweeping potential. Setup sweepers such as Hawlucha and Cloyster these two are already incredibly fast after setting up; Hydreigon and Terrakion are better mentions for instance also benefit from Sticky Web as it is significantly harder to revenge kill them due to the speed drop, allowing them to break through teams with ease. I think Excadrill is worth highlighting in particular as it can also set up Stealth Rock and remove hazards without removing your own through Rapid Spin.
