Strategy Overview

Ribombee carves itself a niche in the tier by its ability to reliably set Sticky Web for offensive teams. Its fantastic Speed and ability Shield Dust let Ribombee overcome common anti-leads, as it is faster than Mega Medicham and can't flinch from Mega Lopunny's Fake Out. It also has some nice utility in Stun Spore and is less passive than other suicide leads thanks to a passable Special Attack stat, a strong STAB move in Moonblast, and the ability to boost in Quiver Dance. Despite this, Ribombee can still be underwhelming, as it lacks power if opting for Stun Spore over Quiver Dance and otherwise struggles with common Pokemon such as Heatran and Tornadus-T.
