NU [NU] Ribombee [QC 1/1] [GP 1/1]

Ribombee @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Shield Dust
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Moonblast
- Psychic
- U-turn

Ribombee's excellent Speed combined with U-turn makes it a fantastic pivot, capable of bringing in strong wallbreakers that answer its checks; in addition, its arrival has lowered the effectiveness of once dominant Dark-types like Alolan Persian and Silvally-Dark. Quiver Dance gives Ribombee late-game sweeping potential and causes it to have a limited number of defensive threats like Rapidash, Silvally-Steel, and Galarian Stunfisk, all of which can still take it down after one boost. Because Ribombee draws in Steel-types, it pairs well with teammates like Gallade and Ninetales that appreciate being safely brought in via U-turn to threaten them. In return, Ribombee can handle threats to them like Sableye for Gallade and Silvally-Dragon for Ninetales. Entry hazards like Stealth Rock and Spikes from partners like Mudsdale and Garbodor make Ribombee's job at sweeping much easier. Mudsdale in particular can deal with the numerous Steel-types that NU has. Lastly, a VoltTurn partner like Rotom-S or Clawitzer synergizes with Ribombee, given that they can chip at the opposing team and enable Ribombee to sweep.

I think you can work the Dark-types point into the first sentence. Something like "stuff about pivoting; in addition, its arrival has lowered the effectiveness of once-dominant Dark-types like Alolan Persian and Silvally-Dark." This helps with organization and better addresses its influence on the metagame.

Work into the Quiver Dance section how it gives Ribombee more late-game sweeping potential.

I think the rest of the information is good. You could maybe work the points about VoltTurn and entry hazards into one sentence under the theme of residual damage, but it's not overly necessary. QC 1/1 when done.

Ready for its GP check!

Since this was around 200 characters over the limit, I had to trim it a bit. Remember to keep spotlights short and sweet!
