Ribombee @ Focus Sash
Ability: Shield Dust
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Sticky Web
- Moonblast
- Hidden Power Fire
- Stun Spore / U-turn

Have you been looking for a way to stray from the typical Fairy build in Monotype? Ribombee might just be the Pokemon for you! Its newly granted access to Sticky Web has given it its own niche on Fairy-type teams. Sticky Web as a means of speed control grants Ribombee's teammates more flexibility in their items and movesets, improving Fairy's already stellar offensive presence. Tapu Bulu can take advantage of Choice Band, while Azumarill can more readily outspeed opposing Pokemon, which lessens its reliance on Aqua Jet. Mega Diancie becomes an even greater force to be reckoned with, as it's able to outspeed nearly every common grounded Choice Scarf Pokemon while affected by Sticky Web. Ribombee's stellar Speed allows it to set Sticky Web on nearly any Pokemon, and Focus Sash guarantees it can do so. Even common Magic Bounce Pokemon such as Mega Sableye and Mega Diancie cannot easily prevent Sticky Web from being set, as they are threatened with a 2HKO from Moonblast. Hidden Power Fire is key in preventing threatening Steel-types such as Mega Scizor from freely setting up on Ribombee. That being said, Ribombee is very frail and has a hard time doing much aside from setting Sticky Web. Stun Spore servers as a last-ditch effort in crippling an opposing Pokemon before Ribombee faints, while U-turn can be utilized to gain momentum and potentially keep Ribombee alive to set Sticky Web again. Ribombee is definitely a new and exciting tool to consider when building Fairy-type teams and might be exactly what you're looking for!

Ready for QC (I'll bother someone instead of tagging a bunch of people). I'll look to see if I can find a replay.

Add a line to explain HP Fire, other than it's all good. Well done!

Ribombee is definitely a new and exciting way tool (or whatever else fits. The problem with the sentence is that Ribombee isn't a "way" to build teams) to consider when building Fairy-type teams and might be exactly what you're looking for!
