[SET COMMENTS]
Ribombee's ability to set up Sticky Web facilitates a whole host of strong attackers that may struggle to outspeed fast Pokemon, and its high Speed allows it to set up the entry hazard in the face of common Taunt users. Moonblast is the preferred attacking move to hit common lead Pokemon like Zamazenta and Hisuian Samurott, as well as deterring Great Tusk from using Rapid Spin to clear Sticky Web. 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 Pokemon, especially those unaffected by Sticky Web, such as Dragonite, Choice Scarf Landorus-T, and Tornadus-T. Ribombee tends to use Stun Spore before Sticky Web, as paralyzing Pokemon has a large payoff at times despite the chance of Stun Spore missing. Focus Sash grants Ribombee a guaranteed turn to set up Sticky Web. 192 Defense EVs guarantee Ribombee to survive Choice Scarf Urshifu-R's Surging Strikes, one of the few Pokemon that outspeed Ribombee and bypass Focus Sash. Shield Dust has various niche uses, such as preventing Mega Lopunny's Fake Out from flinching, which would otherwise deny Sticky Web.

Ribombee fits on hyper offense teams built around Sticky Web. Pokemon like Ogerpon-W, Tapu Lele, and Raging Bolt set up easily with Swords Dance or Calm Mind, 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 Pokemon like Swift Swim Barraskewda and Mega Swampert are largely unaffected by Sticky Web in rain. Raging Bolt also acts as a great counter to Flying-type threats, resisting the STAB moves of Tornadus-T, Zapdos, and Mega Charizard Y, which are problematic Pokemon due to them not being hindered by Sticky Web. In the same vein, teammates that can handle Levitate Pokemon are appreciated; because Mega Latios is the only common one, partners like Tapu Lele, Weavile, and Gholdengo do the job well. Gholdengo is an especially great teammate, as it denies most entry hazard removal, such as Defog from Corviknight and Zapdos and Rapid Spin from Terapagos and Great Tusk. Gholdengo also poses an immense threat itself thanks to Nasty Plot, threatening Pokemon such as Heavy-Duty Boots Zamazenta, Corviknight, and Ferrothorn. Ceruledge can also be used to deny hazard removal, matching up better against Terapagos; however, it only blocks Rapid Spin and not Defog, notably worsening the matchup against Defoggers like Zapdos, Moltres, and defensive Tornadus-T, which can use Defog with relative safety. Teammates like Booster Energy Speed Great Tusk and Scale Shot Garchomp can threaten Heavy-Duty Boots Cinderace, denying it from being able to use Court Change. Even if Cinderace does pull off Court Change, Serperior acts as a great teammate to gain a Speed boost from Sticky Web while also punishing Defog attempts. Finally, in the case that Sticky Web gets removed, teammates that function well outside of Sticky Web are also appreciated. Volcarona, Mega Charizard X, and Booster Energy Speed Iron Valiant all pack great Speed tiers and can often win games without Sticky Web due to their ability to boost their Speed. Great Tusk is also a great teammate for Ribombee and the Sticky Web archetype, as it can remove entry hazards that can be greatly detrimental to its teammates' health, greatly benefiting sweepers such as Mega Charizard X, Tornadus-T, and Weavile.

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

Ribombee’s ability to set up Sticky Web facilitates a whole host of strong attackers who may struggle to outspeed fast Pokémon, and its high speed combined with Focus Sash although focus sash is talked about later it is relevant in why it is useful allows it to set up Sticky Web in the face of common Taunt users, allowing it near guaranteed setup. Moonblast is the preferred attacking move to hit common lead Pokémon like Zamazenta and Samurott-Hisui harder harder than what? no need, as well as deterring Great Tusk from using Rapid Spin to clear Sticky 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. can mention how ribombee sometimes has a tendency to use stun spore first and then webs despite the miss chance because the payoff from that para is very good 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. make a mention of shield dust somewhere here, how it prevents mlop from denying webs with fake out into frustration by simply not flinching (and any other use case you can think of)

Ribombee fits on Hyper Offense teams built around Sticky Web. Pokémon like Ogerpon-W, Tapu Lele, Raging Bolt set up incredibly fast <= wdym? set up easily? 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 Mega Swampert are largely unaffected by Sticky Web in rain. Gholdengo is a great teammate, as it denies most hazard removal can give examples of threats it denies while posing an immense threat itself what does it threaten? boots zama for example, big anti webs mon thanks to Nasty Plot. Ceruledge can also be used to deny hazard removal specify only rapid spin, matching up better into Terapagos. Teammates like Booster Energy Great Tusk boosting its speed and Scale Shot Garchomp can threaten Heavy-Duty Boots Cinderace, denying it from being able to use Court Change. Both also pack the ability to use Stealth Rocks, denying entry opportunities for Mega Chairzard LOL Y and revenge killing slower teammates like Tapu Lele. Even if Cinderace does pull off Court Change, Serperior acts as a great teammate to gain a speed boost from Sticky Web while also punishing Defog attempts. 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. <= this is too generic; give at least one more reason, since almost anything functions outside sticky web The former two also appreciate Great Tusk as a teammate, as it can remove entry hazards that can be greatly detrimental to their health. <= make sure tusk is reworded to say its good for ribombee and its archetype rather than just the teammates

Ribombee’s ability to set up Sticky Web facilitates a whole host of strong attackers who may struggle to outspeed fast Pokémon, and its high speed combined with Focus Sash allows it to set up Sticky Web in the face of common Taunt users, allowing it near guaranteed setup this kinda implies sash is stopping taunt users from denying, potentially split into 2 bits of the sentence abt fast helping with taunt and sash with other stuff . Moonblast is the preferred attacking move to hit common lead Pokémon like Zamazenta and Samurott-Hisui, as well as deterring Great Tusk from using Rapid Spin to clear Sticky Webs. Skill Swap allows Ribombee to potentially bypass Magic Bounce from Hatterene and Mega Diancie and set up Sticky Web.

Both also pack the ability to use Stealth Rocks, denying entry opportunities for Mega Charizard Y and revenge killing slower teammates like Tapu Lele not a hundred percent sure where u slot rocks on these guys on webs?. Even if Cinderace does pull off Court Change, Serperior acts as a great teammate to gain a speed boost from Sticky Web while also punishing Defog attempts. Finally, in the case that Sticky Web gets removed, teammates who function well outside of Sticky Web are also appreciated. Volcarona, Mega Charizard X, and Booster Energy Iron Valiant id prolly specify booster spa all pack great speed tiers and can often win games even without Sticky Web hindering the opponent. Their ability to boost their speed means the lack of Sticky Webs does not prevent them from outspeeding their opponent. Great Tusk is also a great teammate for Ribombee and the Sticky Webs archetype, as it can remove entry hazards that can be greatly detrimental to their health, greatly benefiting sweepers such as Mega Charizard X, Tornadus-T, and Weavile.

u prolly wanna talk about things that beat flying types and levi mons, this is probably incorporable in other parts of the para, flying resist for things like torn with rbolt mention and levitate mons (basicallly js mtios) can be mentioned with lele or maybe make it its own sentence since its a p major hindrance often
