[SET COMMENTS]
Offensive Swords Dance Rillaboom serves as a great mid- and late-game threat largely due to the threat of priority Grassy Glide boosted by Swords Dance thanks to its ability to set Grassy Terrain. Knock Off is great at nailing Gholdengo while dealing decent damage against other Grass-resistant foes, such as Moltres and Zapdos; it can also remove crucial items from these Pokemon, notably Heavy-Duty Boots from the latter two. Superpower dispatches other Steel-types easily, such as Heatran and Melmetal, while Drain Punch provides more longevity against foes such as Kingambit at the expense of dealing less damage and missing out on the OHKO on Raging Bolt and Melmetal when at +2. Adamant nature maximizes Rillaboom's damage output, and the lost Speed doesn't matter much due to its subpar Speed tier and Grassy Glide's priority with Grassy Terrain. Life Orb also provides a damage boost, and the HP reduction is mitigated by Grassy Terrain healing and Drain Punch.

Swords Dance Rillaboom fits best on offensive teams that can make use of its high power, shore up its low Speed stat, and appreciate the Grassy Terrain it provides. Swords Dance-boosted attacks can dispatch a variety of slow, bulky Pokemon, such as Ting-Lu, Slowbro, and Alomomola; therefore, teammates that can clean up after Rillaboom's mid-game assault, such as Dragonite, Volcarona, and Iron Valiant, are highly valued. Against faster teams, Rillaboom's strong priority Grassy Glide can KO frailer, faster Pokemon such as Iron Valiant and Urshifu-R; however, it struggles against Pokemon that resist Grass, such as Volcarona, Mega Charizard Y, and Dragonite. As a result, teammates that can dispatch these Pokemon, such as Urshifu-R, Raging Bolt, and Weavile, are greatly appreciated. With base 125 Attack, Rillaboom's damage may struggle to pick up KOs on bulkier Pokemon. Pokemon like Gholdengo, Volcarona, and Kingambit appreciate Earthquake's damage being halved by Grassy Terrain, with Kingambit also enjoying that Rillaboom can remove Psychic Terrain to enable its Sucker Punch.

Offensive Swords Dance Rillaboom serves as a great mid- and late-game threat largely due to the threat of Priority Grassy Glide boosted by Swords Dance. also mention that it spawns grassy terrain, which can help teammates.Knock Off is great at nailing Gholdengo while dealing decent damage against other Grass resists, such as Moltres and Zapdos also mentions how it removes items from these Pokemon, especially heavy duty boots for the flying types. Superpower dispatches other Steel types easily, such as Heatran and Kingambit, while Drain Punch provides more longetivity at the expense of some damage, such as missing out the OHKO on Raging Bolt and Melmetal. Adamant nature maximizes Rillaboom’s damage output, and the lost speed doesn’t matter much due to Rillaboom’s subpar speed tier and Grassy Glide’s priority. Life Orb also provides a damage boost, and the HP reduction is mitigated by Grassy Terrain healing and potentially Drain Punch.

Swords Dance Rillaboom fits best on offensive teams that can make use of its high power and shore up its low Speed stat, while also appreciating the Grassy Terrain that Rillaboom provides. Rillaboom’s Swords Dance boosted attacks can dispatch a variety of slow, bulky Pokemon, such as Ting-Lu, Heatran, you don’t nessesarily switch into Heatran, maybe switch to something like slowbro or tusk and Alomomola. Therefore, teammates that can clean up after its midgame assault are highly valued, such as Roaring Moon, Volcarona, and Iron Valiant. Against faster teams, Rillaboom’s strong priority Grassy Glide can KO frailer faster Pokemon; however, it struggles against Pokemon that resist Grass, such as Volcarona, Mega Charizard Y, and Roaring Moon. As such, teammates that can dispatch Grass resists these Pokemon , such as Urshifu Rapid Strike Urshifu-RS, Raging Bolt, and Weavile are greatly appreciated. With 125 Base Attack, Rillaboom’s damage may struggle to pick up KOs on bulkier Pokemon. Grimmsnarl can set up dual screens to allow Rillaboom to grab a Swords Dance boost easier, while offensive entry hazard setters like Mega Diancie and Landorus-T provide that extra damage through hazards. lowkey mention how grassy terrain helps it’s teammates, as it’s lowkey one of the main reasons to use it over something like bolt ngl

Offensive Swords Dance Rillaboom serves as a great mid- and late-game threat largely due to the threat of Priority Grassy Glide boosted by Swords Dance. Rillaboom’s ability to summon Grassy Terrain via Grassy Surge can benefit Ground-weak teammates such as Raging Bolt and Heatran this feels like it should be a p2 thing with examples, id prob just mention that it sets gterrain and leave it at that, merge with sentence 1. Knock Off is great at nailing Gholdengo while dealing decent damage against other Grass resists, such as Moltres and Zapdos. It can also remove crucial items from these Pokemon, notably Heavy-Duty Boots from the latter two. Superpower dispatches other Steel types easily, such as Heatran and Kingambit Melmetal, dpunch better into gambino while Drain Punch provides more longetivity against foes such as Kingambit at the expense of some damage, such as missing out the OHKO on Raging Bolt and Melmetal. Adamant nature maximizes Rillaboom’s damage output, and the lost speed doesn’t matter much due to Rillaboom’s subpar speed tier and Grassy Glide’s priority. Life Orb also provides a damage boost, and the HP reduction is mitigated by Grassy Terrain healing and potentially Drain Punch.

Therefore, teammates that can clean up after its midgame assault are highly valued, such as Roaring Moon, Volcarona, and Iron Valiant. Against faster teams, Rillaboom’s strong priority Grassy Glide can KO frailer faster Pokemon like who? could potentially make a new sentence about rilla rkilling mons like val + shifu; however, it struggles against Pokemon that resist Grass, such as Volcarona, Mega Charizard Y, and Roaring Moon. As such, teammates that can dispatch these Pokemon, such as Urshifu-RS, Raging Bolt, and Weavile are greatly appreciated.

Grimmsnarl can set up dual screens to allow Rillaboom to grab a Swords Dance boost easier, while offensive entry hazard setters like Mega Diancie and Landorus-T provide that extra damage through hazards. As much as it pains me to admit it, grimm is bad, and idk how often ur gonna slot rilla on screens anyway. hazards also just seems generic rn, is there anything rocks lets u KO that u otherwise couldnt? Finally, Rillaboom’s Grassy Terrain can be helpful to its teammates even if it is unable to sweep itself. ? merge these here asw Pokemon like Gholdengo, Volcarona, and Kingambit appreciate Earthquake’s damage being halved, with Kingambit enjoying that Rillaboom can remove Psychic Terrain to enable its Sucker Punch.
