Due to Ribombee's great natural Speed, it can reliably set up Sticky Web for Fairy teams. STAB Moonblast and Bug Buzz allow Ribombee to avoid becoming passive. Stun Spore slows down foes further by halving their Speed, allowing teammates such as Togekiss to set up against faster threats such as Dragapult. Ribombee's EV spread alongside its Timid nature will enable it to hit as fast as possible. Its Focus Sash ensures it can always lead and set up Sticky Web.

All of Ribombee's teammates appreciate its ability to set Sticky Web. Choice Scarf Gardevoir especially appreciates this, as it becomes even harder to stop with foes slowed down. Togekiss becomes faster than all unboosted grounded Pokemon, which allows it to easily set up Nasty Plot, Dynamax, and use Max Airstream to further boost its Speed. Togekiss can also break past Steel-type Pokemon such as Aegislash and Ferrothorn that wall Ribombee. Since Ribombee's main niche is setting Sticky Web and Mimikyu can block Rapid Spin, the two make good teammates. Mimikyu appreciates Sticky Web as well, as it becomes less reliant on Shadow Sneak to hit threats such as Durant and Dragapult. Grimmsnarl can also pick off weakened airborne threats such as Gyarados with Sucker Punch, which are immune to the effect of Sticky Web.

"Its EV spread alongside its Timid nature will enable it to hit as strong and hard as possible."
- I think we can delete this line since it's a given? Ribombee isn't even strong enough to make the max special attack mention worth it.
- Can mention Gardevoir becoming an even more efficient revenge killer with Sticky Web in the teammates section

Rest is good, 2/2
