BDSP Breloom

[dex]

Breloom @ Life Orb / Focus Sash
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Spore
- Bullet Seed
- Mach Punch
- Rock Tomb / Force Palm / Swords Dance

Breloom makes its grand return to competitive play in BDSP OU as a devastating wallbreaker and sleep user. It can instantly take a foe out the fight as the sole viable Spore user and blast through opposing teams with Technician-backed Bullet Seed and Mach Punch. Rock Tomb slows down faster foes like Nidoking, Togekiss, and Latios, leaving them susceptible to Spore or an outright KO. Breloom can also opt to run Force Palm, which is a more consistent STAB option, or Swords Dance, which grants Breloom some serious sweeping power. Life Orb lets Breloom deal as much damage as possible while retaining its ability to use Spore, while Focus Sash guarantees landing Spore on a faster Pokemon like Latios or Gengar. Breloom is very consistent in its role as a sleep user; however, Gliscor can switch into Spore freely once it is poisoned, so Pokemon like Latios, Feraligatr, and Weavile that excel at pressuring Gliscor are excellent teammates, all of which can take deadly advantage of Breloom putting a foe to sleep. Faster Pokemon that resist or are immune to Breloom's STAB moves like Latios and Gengar can give Breloom issues, so using teammates like Scizor and Tyranitar can help ease these matchups.

mention how mach makes up for its low speed, and lets it rk weakened faster targets

change washtom mention to smtg else, for one most washtom are slower if they are defensive, they also wont s/i and you want to bseed them anyways, not spore them.

and it also slows down faster foes like Rotom-Wash and Latios, leaving them susceptible to Spore

add on a mention here that u can outspeed and ko certain things because of rock tombs speed drop like nidoking, smtg like, “slows down faster foes like Togekiss, Nidoking, and Latios, allowing Breloom to KO the former two and leaving the latter susceptible to Spore”

rest is fine, 1/1
