[SET COMMENTS]
Ribombee’s ability to set up Sticky Web facilitates a whole host of strong attackers who may struggle to outspeed fast Pokémon. Moonblast is the preferred attacking move to hit common lead Pokémon like Zamazenta and Samurott-Hisui harder. Skill Swap allows Ribombee to potentially bypass Magic Bounce from Hatterene and Mega Diancie and set up Sticky Web. Stun Spore allows Ribombee to hinder faster Pokémon, especially those unaffected by Sticky Web, such as Dragonite, Landorus-T, and Tornadus-T. Focus Sash grants Ribombee a guaranteed turn to set up Sticky Web. 192 Defense EVs guarantees Ribombee to live Choice Scarf Urshifu-R’s Surging Strikes, one of the few Pokémon that outspeed Ribombee and bypass Focus Sash.

Ribombee fits on Hyper Offense teams built around Sticky Web, and the attackers on these teams commonly focus on their strength while Sticky Web grants them a speed advantage. Pokémon like Ogerpon-W, Mega Pinsir, and Thundurus-T set up incredibly fast with Swords Dance or Nasty Plot, and their decent speed tiers are elevated thanks to Sticky Web. Ogerpon-W in particular fits well due to its ability to counter rain teams, as Pokémon like Swift Swim Barraskewda and Kingdra are largely unaffected by Sticky Web in rain. Gholdengo is a great teammate, as it denies both forms of hazard removal while posing an immense threat itself thanks to Nasty Plot, while also packing Psyshock for the stall matchup. Ceruledge can also be used to deny hazard removal, matching up better into Terapagos and packing priority to boot. Finally, in the case that Sticky Web gets removed, teammates who function well outside of Sticky Web are also appreciated. Tornadus-T, Weavile, and Booster Energy Iron Valiant all pack great speed tiers and can often win games even without Sticky Web hindering the opponent.

Ribombee’s ability to set up Sticky Web facilitates a whole host of strong attackers who may struggle to outspeed fast Pokémon mention how it outspeeds all taunt pokemon so its almost guaranteed to get webs up. Moonblast is the preferred attacking move to hit common lead Pokémon like Zamazenta and Samurott-Hisui harder mention how it stops tusk from spinning away webs. Skill Swap allows Ribombee to potentially bypass Magic Bounce from Hatterene and Mega Diancie and set up Sticky Web. Stun Spore allows Ribombee to hinder faster Pokémon, especially those unaffected by Sticky Web, such as Dragonite, Choice Scarf Landorus-T, and Tornadus-T. Focus Sash grants Ribombee a guaranteed turn to set up Sticky Web. 192 Defense EVs guarantees Ribombee to live Choice Scarf Urshifu-R’s Surging Strikes, one of the few Pokémon that outspeed Ribombee and bypass Focus Sash.

Ribombee fits on Hyper Offense teams built around Sticky Web, and the attackers on these teams commonly focus on their strength while Sticky Web grants them a speed advantage filler. Pokémon like Ogerpon-W, Mega Pinsir, and Thundurus-T Tapu Lele, and Raging Bolt mpinsir is super niche while thundy isnt even ranked set up incredibly fast with Swords Dance or Nasty Plot, and their decent speed tiers are elevated thanks to Sticky Web heavily appreciate Sticky Web support as they wallbreak and sweep. Ogerpon-W in particular fits well due to its ability to counter rain teams, as Pokémon like Swift Swim Barraskewda and Kingdra Mega Swampert not even ranked are largely unaffected by Sticky Web in rain. Gholdengo is a great teammate, as it denies both forms of most hazard removal while posing an immense threat itself thanks to Nasty Plot, (RC) while also packing Psyshock for the stall matchup. too niche Ceruledge can also be used to deny hazard removal, matching up better into Terapagos and packing priority to boot. shadow sneak isnt even good on ceru Finally, in the case that Sticky Web gets removed, teammates who function well outside of Sticky Web are also appreciated. Tornadus-T, Weavile, and Booster Energy Iron Valiant all pack great speed tiers and can often win games even without Sticky Web hindering the opponent. should mention teammates like booster tusk and scale shot chomp that can outspeed and prevent cinderace from using court change; could mention serp to abuse cinder after its clicked that. tusk also removes hazards with spin which is nice for teammates like tornT and weavile; should mention having mons that setup stealth rock to deny zardy from easily revenge killing slower teammates like lele
