Ribombee (Fairy)

by Bka Onon

This little yellow bee's webs turns its teammates, Mimikyu and Tapu Lele, into even greater threats! Ribombee's excellent speed tier lets it get the jump on most Taunt users such as Cobalion, while Shield Dust is great for consistently setting webs as it ignores flinches from Fake Out and Iron Head. Bug Buzz deals with Deoxys-S and HP Fire denies Ferrothorn a free switch-in. Stun Spore debilitates threats such as Cinderace and makes Ribombee more annoying to handle. Swords Dance Mimikyu, Swords Dance Tapu Bulu, Choice Specs Tapu Lele, Belly Drum Azumarill and even Mega Diancie greatly appreciate outspeeding their opponents and throwing off their monstrous attacks and keeping the momentum of the game for them. Tapu Koko pressures common Defog users such as Volcanion and Corviknight, and is also a fast teammate that deals with threats such as Choice Scarf Greninja and Cinderace.
