No one's really discussing this little guy yet...
Ribombee @ Life Orb
Ability: Shield Dust
EVs: 252 Spe / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Timid/Modest Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Moonblast
- Energy Ball
- Bug Buzz/Pollen Puff
Pollen Puff heals an Ally instead of damaging them if you target them, otherwise it does the same damage as Bug Buzz. The only reason why you should/would use it over Bug Buzz was if Soundproof becomes more prevalent. But I'm not sure if Pollen Puff gets through Bulletproof atm.
Baton Pass build:
Ribombee @ Leftovers
Ability: Shield Dust
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Def
Bold/Calm Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Baton Pass
- Aromatheorapy/Roost/Stun Spore/Toxic
- U-Turn/Roost
Defensive Support build:
Ribombee @ Leftovers
Ability: Shield Dust
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Def
Bold/Calm Nature
- Roost
- Stun Spore/Toxic
- Aromatheorapy
- U-Turn
The more I look at this little guy, the more I see it was designed for Double Battles mainly, so here's a doubles build:
Ribombee @ Leftovers
Ability: Sweet Veil
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Def
Bold/Calm Nature
- Protect/Quiver Dance
- Stun Spore/Toxic
- Dazzling Gleam/Toxic/Stun Spore
- Pollen Puff
Maybe Speed Swap for a slower partner? Otherwise, this little cutiebug has got a lot of possible potential ahead of it imo.
Also, why are you guys putting Mental Herb on Minior? The defensive debuff won't matter when Shields Down happens, it'll still die to threats like Scizor Bullet Punch and Azumarill Aqua Jet with or without the debuff out of it's shell
