Name: Focus Sash (Grass)

-Mach Punch
-Rock Tomb
-Bullet Seed / Swords Dance / Close Combat

[SET COMMENTS]
Thanks to its high Attack, great ability in Technician, and a STAB priority move, Breloom is a staple on Grass teams as a late-game cleaner. Besides boosting Mach Punch, Technician provides Grass teams with powerful Rock-type coverage in its Rock Tomb. These two moves and Focus Sash allow Breloom to handle an assortment of major threats to grass teams, including Volcarona, Chien-Pao, Iron Jugulis, Kilowattrel, Choice Specs Greninja, and Kingambit. With Bullet Seed or Close Combat, it also can function as a good wallbreaker. Spore is an amazing utility move to stop threats and force out Pokemon like Skeledirge. However, with the use of other Spore users like Amoonguss and Toedscruel, Spore can be replaced with Swords Dance. With it, Breloom can set up when opponents predict it will use Spore, increasing its late-game cleaning potential. An Adamant nature is standard, but Jolly Breloom can outspeed Adamant Dragonite, Adamant Cetitan, and Choice Specs Pelipper.

Other offensive teammates like Meowscarada and Rotom-C benefit from Breloom forcing out threats with Spore or breaking through Pokemon like Toxapex, Corviknight, or Ting-lu with its high Attack stat and Spore. In exchange, Meowscarada handles Psychic-types such as Gallade and Espathra. Setup Pokemon like Substitute Rotom-C work especially well with Breloom, as they can come in freely on a slept enemy or a physical wall Breloom draws in. The type's more passive defensive Pokemon also support Breloom, with Amoonguss dealing with Fairy-types and Wo-Chien, by using Leech Seed on a foe, allowing chipped Breloom to switch in and restore its Focus Sash protection. Breloom also enjoys Spikes or Toxic Spikes Brambleghast or Toedscruel to chip foes into KO range, including Toxapex and Iron Hands after a Swords Dance. Aurora Veil from Abomasnow can increase Breloom's chances to set up with Swords Dance. Breloom is weak against bulkier Pokemon with multi-hit moves, which can instantly KO it through Focus Sash, like Icicle Spear from Baxcalibur. Thus, entry hazards to wear them down and physical walls, like Body Press Abomasnow, are very important. Once chipped, Breloom's frailty and low Speed make it weak to faster priority users and to other offensive Pokemon not bothered by Mach Punch. To handle the latter, such as Flutter Mane and Paldean Tauros-B, faster teammates like Choice Scarf Meoscarada and Rotom-C can be very helpful.

including Volcarona, Chien Pao, Iron Jugulis, Kilowattrel, Specs Greninja, King Gambit, and so on.
I wouldn't put Greninja as Adamant Breloom doesn't outpace Greninja at -1 and it could run things like Extrasensory which means Rock Tomb + Mach Punch don't kill it, you can just remove it. King Gambit is misspelled (it's Kingambit) and avoid saying "and so on." as you can just stop after including some examples.

-Mention more individually how mons like Appletun and Guss can help and what they do.



Ill recheck it after those get implemented

Okie, 2 paras nowwww. On greninja, match punch is koing before type change. That sentence you are referring to is meant to capture the importance of having rock tomb + mach punch for grass. It is not necessarily limited to just adamant sets.

Thanks to its high Attack, a great ability in Technician and a STAB priority, Breloom is a staple on Grass teams. With a high attack stat, access to priority, and technician for an ability, Breloom is a physical attacking mainstay on grass. But with new additions like Meowscarada and Toedscruel, much of Breloom's role on grass has shifted in gen 9 from a lead spore-spammer to a late-game cleaner. Breloom's ability allows it to make great use of its priority move Mach Punch and provides Grass teams grass with powerful rock coverage in Rock Tomb. Having the ability to fire off these two moves, without being OHKO'ed thanks to Focus Sash focus sash, allows Breloom to handle an assortment of the type's major threats, including Volcarona, Chien Pao, Iron Jugulis, Kilowattrel, Choice Specs Greninja, and Kingambit. Bullet Seed and Close Combat allow for better wall-breaking potential. Spore is an amazing utility move that allows Breloom to stop threats and pressure out Pokemon like set-up Skeledirge. But with the use of other Spore users like Amoonguss and Toedscruel, Spore is not nearly as necessary for Breloom as it is in previous generations. This allows Breloom to use Swords Dance better on a predicted Spore to increase its late-game cleaning potential. An Adamant nature maximizes Breloom's should usually run an adamant nature to maximize its attacking potential, while a Jolly nature can But jolly is sometimes useful to outspeed Adamant Dragonite, some bulky Volcarona sets, and tie with other positive-nature base 70 Speed Pokemon such as Polteageist.

Other offensive teammates like Meowscarada and Rotom-C benefit from Breloom's ability to force a threat out or make a hole in the opposing team with its high Attack stat or Spore. This is especially helfpul for set-up mons like Substitute Rotom-C who can then come in freely on a sleeping enemy or physical wall. Meowscarada appreciates Breloom being able to weaken up opposing teams and in exchange it handles Psychic-types such as Gallade and Espathra. Or weaker scarfed mons like Meowscarada who require the enemy to be weakened before being able to KO. One key example is Calm Mind Hatterene which can set up on most grass Pokmeon and heal damage with Draining Kiss. Breloom will live a draining kiss on 1 HP and then be able to fire off an attack with Hatterene unable to heal the damage off in response. (I don't think this is necessary to be explained so widely, you can use Hatterene as a short example if you want tho) Further, the type's legion of more-passive defensive Pokemon in Amoonguss, Wo-Chien, Toedscruel, Appletun, and Abomasnow also enjoy Breloom's presence as it can force out threats that come in to set up. These defensive mons are in-turn important for Breloom as switch-ins so it can avoid taking damage and breaking its focus sash or leech seeders able to restore Breloom to full HP. (Most of those can handle setup sweepers with moves like Spore, Foul Play, Clear Smog, or just offensively. You can briefly mention Amoonguss being able to help with Fairy-types, Wo-Chien being able to restore Breloom's sash thanks to Leech Seed.) Breloom also enjoys utility support in the form of Spikes or Toxic Spikes from Toedscruel and Brambleghast to chip opponents and bring them into KO range after a Swords Dance. Aurora Veil from Abomasnow can increase Breloom's chances to set up with Swords Dance. improve its bulk and chances to set up. and rarer status moves like toxic or leech seed from Amoonguss or Appletun to provide chip and additional pressure on otherwise bulkier opponents. Breloom is weak to bulkier mons with multi-hit moves that can instantly KO it through its Focus Sash like Icicle Spear from Baxcalibur, so hazard support and physical walls like Abomasnow are very valuable. all the more important. Once chipped, Breloom's frail Defenses and slow Speed stat make it weak to other priority attacks like Ice Shard from Chien Pao and to other offensive Pokemon immune or resistant to its priority like Flutter Mane and Tauros-Paldea-Blaze, so faster teammates like Choice Scarf Meowscarada and Choice Scarf Rotom-C can be very helpful.

But with new additions like Meowscarada and Toedscruel, much of Breloom's role on Grass teams has shifted in gen 9 from a lead spore-spammer to a late-game cleaner. (We cant reference past gens in new analyses. Perhaps you can reword this to: "Breloom excels as a late-game cleaner due to its teammates in Toedscruel and Amoonguss being able to debilitate an opponent with Spore"? Reword to fit whatever you want it tho. Meow also doesnt make much sense in the sentence due to it not having spore and also being an excellent late-game cleaner in its own right too.) Breloom's ability allows it to make great use of its priority move Mach Punch and provides Grass teams with powerful rock coverage in Rock Tomb. Having the ability to fire off these two moves, without being OHKO'ed thanks to Focus Sash, allows Breloom to handle an assortment of the type's major threats, including Volcarona, Chien Pao, Iron Jugulis, Kilowattrel, Choice Specs Greninja, and Kingambit.

(very unlikely mons)

Other offensive teammates like Meowscarada and Rotom-C benefit from Breloom's ability to force a threat out or wallbreak (an example of what Loom breaks, like Corv for Meow or someone for Rotom-C would be nice) make a hole in the opposing team with its high Attack stat or Spore. This is especially helpful for set-up mons like Substitute Rotom-C who can then come in freely on a sleeping enemy or physical wall. Meowscarada appreciates Breloom being able to weaken opposing teams, and in exchange, it handles Psychic-types such as Gallade and Espathra. The type's more-passive defensive Pokemon also support Breloom, with Amoonguss able to deal with fairy types and Wo-Chien able to restore the slugger's focus sash with leech seed. Breloom also enjoys utility support in the form of Spikes or Toxic Spikes from Toedscruel and Brambleghast (swap the two mons so that Spikes->Bramb and Toxic Spikes->Toeds) to chip opponents and bring them into KO range after a Swords Dance. Aurora Veil from Abomasnow can increase Breloom's chances to set up with Swords Dance. Breloom is weak to bulkier mons with multi-hit moves that can instantly KO it through its sash like icicle spear from Baxcalibur, so hazard support and physical walls like Abomasnow are very important (Doesnt obama also deal with Pao via body press?). Once chipped, Breloom's frail Defenses and slow Speed stat make it weak to other priority attacks like Ice Shard from Chien Pao and to other (Scarf Meow/Rotom-C wont help much vs pao anyway ;w;) offensive Pokemon immune or resistant to its priority like Flutter Mane and Tauros-Paldea-Blaze, so faster teammates like Choice Scarf Meoscarada and Rotom-C can be very helpful.

Will recheck after these edits. (More like just reread, its already good...)
Thank you Winemom :blobnom:
 
Edits dooooone. The only thing I didn't change was the priory of moves for the fourth move slot. I wouldn't recommend Close Combat over Bullet Seed or Swords Dance most of the time.

GP Team done, lmk if any qs

(left the second able to, as it is more situational than the former).
(Tauros isn't immune & doesn't have faster priority, so it's slightly out of place in this exact context, but I believe you mean Intimidate makes it so Breloom's priority is weakened or along those lines?)
good insights & way of thinking (i handled the underlying problems slightly differently than you but you'll notice i still addressed them)

and paldean tauros is A/B now :)
