[SET COMMENTS]
Swords Dance Rillaboom functions as a dangerous revenge killer, being able to leverage its decent bulk and access to good priority in Grassy Glide to effectively clean up games. Swords Dance turns Rillaboom into a threatening set up sweeper, letting it revenge kill foes such as Deoxys-S, Darkrai and Ogerpon-W with Grassy Glide more easily. Grassy Glide also allows Rillaboom to threaten other faster foes such as Great Tusk, Barraskewda and weakened Walking Wake. Wood Hammer is Rillabooms strongest option, being able to threaten an OHKO on foes such as Gliscor and Toxapex after a Swords Dance, while also preventing foes such as Landorus-T from switching in safely. Knock Off allows Rillaboom to punish foes such as Zapdos and Moltres switching in, removing their Heavy-Duty Boots and therefore making them vulnerable to hazards, while also hitting Gholdengo, Pecharunt and Galarian Slowking for super-effective damage. Life Orb can be used in order to significantly increase Rillabooms damage output, letting it threaten foes such as Darkrai and Ogerpon-W more effectively, while Leftovers when combined with Grassy Terrain can greatly improve Rillabooms longevity. Tera Grass is the tera type of choice in order to further bolster Rillabooms revenge killing capabilities, while also allowing Wood Hammer to deal even more damage, notably securing a 2HKO on Raging Bolt.
Swords Dance Rillaboom fits primarily on more offensive structures, where its ability to revenge kill common foes and clean up late game is greatly appreciated.

- a brief example of foes that the analysed Pokemon is vulnerable to + teammates to help cover them.
