Strategy Overview

Ribombee is the only viable Sticky Web user in Ubers. It has a niche as a lead for hyper offense teams that is capable of preventing Koraidon from using Scale Shot while potentially paralyzing a threat with Stun Spore. It is just fast enough to outrun Pokemon that commonly run Taunt, like Arceus, while discouraging Koraidon and Miraidon from staying in on it thanks to its STAB Moonblast. Unfortunately for Ribombee, it can be played around by select antileads like Iron Treads and other leads like Glimmora, both of which can prevent Sticky Web from going up pretty consistently. The presence of Zacian-C in the tier can also make Ribombee's job harder, as its user will have to decide to either use Sticky Web or risk Stun Spore missing.
