Strategy Overview
Ribombee is an effective Sticky Web setter thanks to its blistering Speed, decent offensive potential, and ability to threaten common Defoggers like Mandibuzz, Salamence and Rotom-W in addition to other leads like Cobalion. It's also immune to secondary effects thanks to Shield Dust; this makes it impossible for Pokemon like Choice Scarf Jirachi to antilead it, and its access to Skill Swap means that not even Hatterene can prevent it from getting its entry hazard up. As a result, Ribombee is a cornerstone on Sticky Web teams as the best available setter. It can struggle with certain hazard removers that resist Moonblast, though; examples include Excadrill, Moltres, and Tentacruel. It can also give free turns to the likes of Amoonguss, Scizor, and Autotomize Celesteela, though the latter dislikes being hit by Stun Spore.
