Sun Sweeper (Gloom) @ Leftovers / Lum Berry
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 80 HP / 252 SpA / 176 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 2 Atk / 30 SpA / 30 Spe
- Sunny Day
- Solar Beam
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Synthesis

With Chlorophyll shoring up Gloom's terrible Speed, it can make full use of its high Special Attack and great bulk to be a potent sun sweeper. In sun, Solar Beam can even 2HKO some foes that resist Grass such as Ponyta and Quilava. Hidden Power Fire hits Grass-types such as Tropius and opposing Gloom as well as Magnemite. It also threatens certain Poison-types such as Koffing, Ariados, and Beedrill. Synthesis provides Gloom with recovery to help it remain healthy while it trades blows with foes such as opposing Gloom and Koffing. The given EV spread maximizes Gloom's Special Attack while allowing it to outspeed base 95 Speed Pokemon, such as Elekid, while in sun. The longevity provided by Leftovers can be eschewed in favor of Lum Berry preventing a foe such as Porygon from paralyzing Gloom once.

Gloom best fits on offense teams looking for a potent sun sweeper, being mandatory on dedicated sun teams and excellent on semi-sun teams. Gloom and other Chlorophyll sweepers such as Tropius and Exeggcute are able to weaken and remove each other's shared checks. Sun setters, such as Ponyta, can help Gloom by setting up sun and luring in Pokemon it checks such as Corsola and Clamperl. Gloom is notably very effective at removing Water-types such as Corsola, making it a natural teammate for Pokemon such as Aipom, Doduo, and Ponyta. Gloom struggles with Fire-types such as Ponyta and Quilava; while sun is active, Gloom can deal heavy damage to them with Solar Beam, but is usually OHKOed back; outside of sun, Gloom is completely helpless. Checks to them such as Flash Fire Ponyta and Chinchou make for great partners as a result. While it also hates taking Fire-type moves, Tropius can take advantage of Gloom's sun with Chlorophyll and, depending on its Attack investment, even OHKO most Fire-types with Earthquake. Offensive variants of Tropius can serve as potent checks to Gloom, outspeeding it even in sun and 2HKOing it with Hidden Power Flying or Fire, making checks to it such as Porygon good partners. Castform is a danger to most sun teams due to its good bulk and ability turning it into a Fire-type while in sun, making checks to it such as wallbreakers in Aipom and Doduo and bulky Pokemon in Noctowl and Koffing good teammates. There are a few special walls such as Porygon and Noctowl that can wall Gloom, making it appreciate support from strong physical wallbreakers such as Aipom and Doduo.

With Chlorophyll shoring up Gloom's terrible Speed, it can make full use of its high Special Attack and great bulk to be a potent sun sweeper. Hidden Power Fire targets the Grass-types and Magnemite that resist Gloom's Grass-type STAB moves. It also threatens certain Poison-types such as Koffing with heavy damage. Synthesis provides Gloom with recovery to help it remain healthy while it trades blows with foes such as opposing Gloom and Koffing. The given EV spread maximizes Gloom's Special Attack while allowing it to outspeed base 95 Speed Pokemon, such as Elekid, while in sun.
Mention other Poison-types that Hidden Power Fire hits. Also please be specific about other Grass-types as well.
A sentence about the interaction Gloom has with opposing Tropius (Sun boosted Hidden Power Fire) is warranted.
Mention why you'd use Leftovers over Lum Berry and Vice Versa

Gloom is a fixture on dedicated sun teams, with it and other Chlorophyll sweepers such as Tropius and Exeggcute able to weaken and remove each other's shared checks.

While it also hates taking Fire-type moves, Tropius can take advantage of Gloom's sun with Chlorophyll and OHKO most Fire-types with Earthquake.

I'd mention that while Gloom is required on dedicated Sun teams it also excels on Semi-Sun.
Mention Pokemon that can remove Castform as Castform walls / Cripples Gloom

Good Work 1/2

With Chlorophyll shoring up Gloom's terrible Speed, it can make full use of its high Special Attack and great bulk to be a potent sun sweeper. I would maybe comment on Solarbeams power since it's the grass type move of choice over something that doesn't need to work outside of the sun. maybe mention it has a chance to 2hko ponyta and delcatty or whatever you see as relevant Hidden Power Fire hits Grass-types such as Tropius and opposing Gloom, as well as Magnemite, for super effective damage. It also threatens certain Poison-types such as Koffing, Ariados, and Beedrill. Synthesis provides Gloom with recovery to help it remain healthy while it trades blows with foes such as opposing Gloom and Koffing. The given EV spread maximizes Gloom's Special Attack while allowing it to outspeed base 95 Speed Pokemon, such as Elekid, while in sun.

With Chlorophyll shoring up Gloom's terrible Speed, it can make full use of its high Special Attack and great bulk to be a potent sun sweeper. In sun, Solar Beam is a brutally powerful and spammable move that can even 2HKO some foes that resist Grass such as Ponyta and Quilava. Hidden Power Fire hits Grass-types such as Tropius and opposing Gloom (remove comma) as well as Magnemite (remove comma) for super effective damage. It also threatens certain Poison-types such as Koffing, Ariados, and Beedrill. Synthesis provides Gloom with recovery to help it remain healthy while it trades blows with foes such as opposing Gloom and Koffing. The given EV spread maximizes Gloom's Special Attack while allowing it to outspeed base 95 Speed Pokemon, such as Elekid, while in sun.

There are a few special walls such as Porygon and Noctowl that can wall Gloom, making it Gloom appreciate support from strong physical wallbreakers such as Aipom and Doduo.
