Choice Band Rillaboom is an incredibly strong wallbreaker that threatens almost all defensive cores because of terrain-boosted Wood Hammer and its synergy with entry hazard setters thanks to Knock Off. Grassy Glide provides Rillaboom with speed control, threatening faster Pokemon like Ogerpon-C, Ogerpon-W, Weavile, and Bulk Up Great Tusk alongside some potential prior chip damage. U-turn lets Rillaboom make progress by forcing in counters like Skarmory and Pecharunt for another teammate to pressure. Tera Grass boosts the damage of Wood Hammer and Grassy Glide to absurd levels, giving Rillaboom the ability to 2HKO physically bulky Grass-resistant foes like Necrozma-DM and Mandibuzz with Wood Hammer and OHKO Ogerpon-W, Iron Valiant, and Great Tusk with Grassy Glide.

Choice Band Rillaboom best fits on offense and balance teams looking for a strong wallbreaker with priority. High Attack gods like Necrozma-DM and Rayquaza are mandatory, as Rillaboom's base Attack is not enough to overwhelm cores. Teammates that can make use of Grassy Terrain like Sneasler, Hisuian Electrode, and Pecharunt are good partners, with Sneasler being able to activate Unburden, Hisuian Electrode gaining significant power on its Leaf Storm, and Pecharunt both taking less damage from Earthquake and gaining extra recovery while providing pivoting with Parting Shot. Pivots like Sandy Shocks, Hisuian Electrode, and Iron Moth that can pressure Grass-resistant foes make for great teammates, as they can pressure the few switch-ins to Rillaboom, especially Skarmory, Moltres, and Hydrapple, while also creating VoltTurn cores. Slow pivots like Slowking, Mandibuzz, and Pecharunt help Rillaboom switch in safely, allowing it more chances to wallbreak. Spikes setters like Skarmory, Ting-Lu, and Sandy Shocks make for fantastic teammates, as they, in conjunction with Knock Off from Rillaboom or other teammates, considerably chip grounded foes who don't have Heavy-Duty Boots like Pecharunt, Necrozma-DM, and Tera Steel users like Slowking and Clodsire. Similarly, Stealth Rock setters like Landorus-T, Clefable, and Necrozma-DM make for great teammates, with the former having U-turn and the latter two also having Knock Off to reduce the necessity for Rillaboom to use Knock Off itself.

Choice Band Rillaboom is an incredibly strong wallbreaker that threatens almost all defensive cores thanks to terrain-boosted Wood Hammer and its synergy with entry hazard setters thanks to Knock Off. Grassy Glide provides Rillaboom with speed control, threatening faster Pokemon like the Ogerpon formes and Weavile Would probably mention speed invested bu tusk asw, as it's one of the more common targets for rilla to hit with glide with some chip. U-turn provides Rillaboom with the ability to make progress by forcing in a counter like Skarmory, Pecharunt, and Tera Steel users like Clefable I'm pretty sure that we should avoid mentioning tera mons out of principle because then it becomes very abstract as to where the limit goes for another teammate to pressure. Tera Grass boosts the damage of Wood Hammer and Grassy Glide to absurd levels.

Pivots that can pressure Grass resists like Sandy Shocks, Hisuian Electrode, Iron Moth, and Rayquaza Rayquaza rarely, rarely ever uses a moveset that includes u turn, and it doesn't really threaten many common grass resists make for great teammates as they can pressure the few switch-ins to Rillaboom, especially Skarmory, Moltres, and Hydrapple, while also creating Volt-Turn cores. I'd also mention slow pivots that help get Rillaboom onto the field Spikes setters like Skarmory, Greninja, and Sandy Shocks Would definetly mention ting lu instead of these two make for fantastic teammates, as they can allow Rillaboom to more effectively wallbreak while it removes opponents' Heavy-Duty Boots with Knock Off. Similarly, Stealth Rock setters like Landorus-T, Clefable, and Necrozma-DM make for great teammates, with the former having U-turn while the latter two also having Knock Off to reduce the necessity for Rillaboom to use Knock Off itself.

Choice Band Rillaboom is an incredibly strong wallbreaker that threatens almost all defensive cores thanks to terrain-boosted Wood Hammer and its synergy with entry hazard setters thanks to Knock Off. Grassy Glide provides Rillaboom with speed control, threatening faster Pokemon like the Ogerpon formes Not terribly sure about this, but you may wanna specify that it is mainly to hit Wogerpon or Rockpon as reg Ogerpon still resists and even with Tera, Rillaboom only 2HKOes with Grassy Glide at 150 Attack , Weavile, and Bulk Up Great Tusk alongside some potential prior chip. U-turn provides Rillaboom with the ability to make progress by forcing in counters like Skarmory and Pecharunt for another teammate to pressure. Tera Grass boosts the damage of Wood Hammer and Grassy Glide to absurd levels, including the ability to 2HKO physically bulky resists like Necrozma-DM and Mandibuzz with Wood Hammer I would like to see a mention here of Tera Grass Grassy Glide OHKOing something that Rilla needs to use said Tera for otherwise just strike the Grassy Glide mention.
