Done [Ubers] Ribombee

Ribombee @ Focus Sash
Ability: Shield Dust
Tera Type: Steel / Normal
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Sticky Web
- Moonblast
- Stun Spore
- Tailwind / Quiver Dance

Ribombee finds its place in Ubers as a dedicated Sticky Web lead on hyper offense teams. Moonblast allows Ribombee to threaten out opposing lead Koraidon and do decent damage to Giratina-O, and Stun Spore lets it stop faster leads like Zacian-C, Eternatus, and Choice Scarf Kyogre from outspeeding and 2HKOing Ribombee. Tailwind offers yet another support option for Ribombee's teammates, while Quiver Dance can be run to prevent lead Zacian-C from setting up reliably. Tera Steel stops Glimmora from removing Sticky Web through Mortal Spin, while Tera Normal specifically counters Giratina-O by preventing it from removing Sticky Web, then KOing Ribombee with Shadow Sneak before it can be set again. Because Ribombee's purpose is to set Sticky Web above all else, it won't be doing much in the way of offensive pressure and is best paired with strong threats like Calm Mind Arceus variants, Kyurem-B, and Necrozma-DM that appreciate opposing Pokemon being slowed and paralyzed. Terapagos is a good teammate for Sticky Web builds that can remove entry hazards for the rest of the team, while Arceus-Ghost and Lunala can spinblock Terapagos on opposing Sticky Web teams.

Ribombee finds its place in Ubers as a dedicated Sticky Web lead on hyper offense teams. Moonblast allows Ribombee to threaten out opposing lead Koraidon and do decent damage to Giratina-O, one of the two viable hazard removers in Ubers, Better to not mention this, I can think of Glimmora, Gira-O and Terapagos which are good, and then more niche options like regieleki, excadrill and treads which are usable and Stun Spore lets it cripple an opposing threat for its more offensively-oriented teammates. word this a little differently - stun spore is what threatens and prevents fast stuff like koraidon zacian eternatus scarf kyogre from just leading, outspeeding, and 2hkoing bee Tailwind offers yet another support option for Ribombee's teammates, while Quiver Dance can be run to prevent lead Substitute Zacian-C from setting up reliably. more rarely to turn Ribombee into a surprise offensive threat that outspeeds the entire unboosted metagame and 2HKOs Giratina after one boost, though it falters against the likes of Necrozma-DM, Ho-oh, and defensive Arceus variants. QD Bee is not actually going to pressure the opponent ever and is solely used to beat sub zacian, and it has about the same usage as Tailwind so I removed the "used rarely" part. Tera Steel stops Glimmora from removing Sticky Web through Mortal Spin, while Tera Normal specifically counters Giratina-O by preventing it from removing Sticky Web, then KOing Ribombee with Shadow Sneak before it can be set again. Because Ribombee's purpose is to set Sticky Web support its teammates above all else, it usually won't be doing much in the way of offensive pressure and is best paired with strong threats like Koraidon and Zacian-C that appreciate opposing Pokemon being slowed and paralyzed. you can keep mention of Koraidon and Zacian-C but they are staples on all types of HO and they do just fine with or without Sticky Web - better to mention other examples like eternatus, lunala, cm arc, ndm, kyurem-black etc which can actually benefit from webs.

Do mention that Terapagos is a good teammate that can phase out set up sweepers in a pinch and spin away hazards set by lead deoxys or glimmora, or tinglu.

Also, give a shout to Arceus-Ghost or Lunala as teammates specifically since they are staples on Sticky Web builds because of their ability to block Rapid Spin from Terapagos which is often seen in webs mirror.

1/1 when implemented
