Ribombee is a metagame-defining Sticky Web lead found in hyper offense teams due to its impressive Speed tier, notably outpacing maximum Speed invested Arceus formes, avoiding Taunt from them. Moonblast allows Ribombee to discourage Ting-Lu from laying entry hazards, Koraidon and Miraidon from setting up, and Giratina-O from using Defog. Stun Spore is used to cripple Pokemon that can otherwise use Ribombee as setup fodder such as Arceus formes and Zacian-C. Psychic is an option to hit Glimmora for super effective damage, deterring it from using Mortal Spin. Charm is also an alternative move that is used to annoy physical attackers, hindering them from setting up. Tera Ghost allows Ribombee to block Rapid Spin from leads like Great Tusk while also providing it with an immunity to Extreme Speed from Arceus. Tera Steel is an alternative option to block Mortal Spin from Glimmora. Teammates such as Koraidon, Zacian-C, Calyrex-S, Arceus-Ground, Extreme Killer Arceus, Miraidon, and Eternatus benefit heavily from Sticky Web being up, as it makes them much more difficult to revenge kill, with some such as Zacian-C and Eternatus also providing utility by blocking Mortal Spin from Glimmora and setting up Toxic Spikes, respectively. As Ribombee gets shut down by Taunt from Calyrex-S and Miraidon, offensive checks to them such as Extreme Killer Arceus and Arceus-Ground are preferred as teammates. As Ribombee lacks Taunt, another lead such as Arceus-Ground or Glimmora can be used to prevent entry hazards from opposing leads.
