When it isn't pollinating, Ribombee can be found dominating PU teams late-game, to an extent that very few other Pokemon can. Its great Speed tier gets the jump on many fast Pokemon like Whimsicott and Archeops, as well as Choice Scarf users like Mesprit at +1. The combination of Aromatherapy and Roost means that it can set up on anything that can't 2HKO it, like Sandaconda without Stone Edge or Jellicent. However, bee very careful, as Steel-types like Togedemaru and Aggron can all impede a sweep; Charizard and Gallade are good partners that can threaten out these Pokemon. Charizard can also run Toxic to cripple Gigalith and make it easier for Ribombee to sweep. Entry hazard setters like Sandaconda and Ferroseed can help further wear down Ribombee's switch-ins and switch into Gigalith and Togedemaru for it; in return, they enjoy a switch-in to Grass- and Fighting-type moves in a pinch like Power Whip and Close Combat. Ribombee appreciates Charizard switch-ins like Audino and Gigalith, which can also use Knock Off and Toxic to wear down Ribombee answers like Articuno. They also appreciate Ribombee's Aromatherapy healing annoying status for them.
