Ribombee thread

>>30436357
Poor Rimbombee is lost among all the waifuing of the humans.

Broest Pokémon this gen, carried me through a bunch of fights.

>>30436620
But Ribombee is my waifu

>>30436686
Why?

>>30436778
FUCK. BEES.

>>30436655
she helps me completed the dragon z move trial a lot easier. Without her, that totem kommo-o likely demolished at least half of my team.

>>30436829
I would like to, yes.

>>30436829
ITS HIP TO

>>30436865
It's pretty funny to one shot the last trial with a girly fly.

Swept Hala with Quiver Dance/ Dazzling Gleam.

She carried my team with Stun Spore.

>Fast as fuck Pokemon among the islands of Aslowla
>Bug Buzz and Dazzling Gleam backed up by good Sp. Attack
>Quiver Dance
>Is cute as fuck
>Bees are bros

Ribombee a best.

>>30436829
based ribombee parasitizing the alolan population of combees into extinction

>>30437270
>bees are bros
Buddy, Ribombee is explicitly not a bee. It is a bee fly. Look up what those fuckers do.

>>30437375
>mostly kill wasps and beetles
I don't see anything wrong with that, familio

>>30437423
They are also known for killing bees. They just fucking hate other winged insects.

best set?

>>30437457
Only if they're solitary.

I want Ribombee to be my shouldermon.

I boxed my starter and adopted a Cutiefly as my actual starter. Never felt as close to any other starter I've had in these games, if you dont count the childlike wonder from gen 1.

Possibly the cutest pokemon ever designed, but the boys in the lab haven't confirmed it yet

>>30436357
NO ES FAKE, ES HADA.

>>30436357
Could you imagine having sex with a Cutiefly and then finding out that it laid eggs inside of you and its babies eat you from the inside out? I've always wanted to be a father.

>>30443198
Pokemon dont actually lay eggs and Cutiefly doesnt eat flesh

From drawthread the other day.

>>30443198
Is that how reproduction with insects actually works?

>>30443198
Unless you're a bee they wouldn't do that.

>tfw when my first cutiefly encounter was a modest with HP fire. it hasn't left my team since. though im skeptical of keeping hp fire and replacing it with psychic.

How do I beat Salazzle with this guy?

>>30443282
Teach it psychic and hope for the best. If you mean totem Salazzle, you pretty much cant, unfortunately.

>>30443282
unless you have Psychic, there's literally no way.

>>30443282
Psychic

Which is better HP fire or Psychic?

>First Cutiefly I find is a shiny
>First shiny I've had in the better part of a decade

Ribombee is my boy.

>>30443321
Psychic is bit more versatile but HP fire is the only hope against steel types for it

>>30443219
>Cutiefly doesn't eat fesh

What about Ribombee?

>>30443321
Depends which tier (when they're out) and threats are of higher priority to you. In-game, four attacks or Quiver Dance + whatever attacks you want works.

In higher tiers you want to ditch the bug move and use Moonblast as the main attack instead. Psychic for Mareanie, HP Fire for Scizor and Skarmory.

>>30443347
right? I'm torn. Its not like there were a plethora of new steel types intruduced and i haven't done the calcs to see if it can withstand a bullet punch from anything.

>>30443348
It eats fucking pollen.

>>30443358
That's a smart way to look at it, but unfortunately my ribombee was wild when I caught it so it doesn't get access to moonblast.

>>30443369
I would keep psychic if you are going competetive.
>if it can withstand a bullet punch from anything
I dont think it can even with quad resist with some exceptions. Its a very squishy bug.

>>30443383
Dammit.

>>30443397
Oh, so for ingame you don't have to do anything special. You can pretty much go the entire game with 4 Attacks (Pollen Puff, Psychic, HP Fire, Dazzling Gleam).

>>30443369
0 Atk Technician Mega Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Ribombee: 146-174 (107.3 - 127.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Yeah you're not staying in front of a scizor no matter what, but HP fire is still good for Ferrothorn, Celesteela, and Skarmory.

>>30443425
all bugs are doomed to be squishy. is psychic more versatile then bug buzz?

Defend this.

>>30443440
its definitely good for ferro and skarm but im iffy on celesteela.

>>30443445
I wouldnt replace bug buzz with psychic thats for sure.

>>30443476
I would like to run quiver dance because why not right? Especially since it opt out on moonblast...thanks gf.

>>30443455
It's so cute and its legs are floppy and silly. That's all the defense it needs.

>>30443497
Quiver dance is given for sure. The bee doesnt have may other uses so might as well make it better at it.

>>30443465
I mean it's your best attack against it, assuming you need to whittle it down for others to take care of it.

>>30443528
so the only move that I could think of replacing is dazzling gleam which I'm unsure if I really want to lose that fairy stab.

>>30443507
She's a bee, right? 'Cause my bird's gonna teach her a lotta 'bout pecking, if you know what I mean.~

>>30443562
yes that is a good point. I love the little bee fly its so versatile

>>30443507
Can you please delete this?

Thanks.

>>30443570
that Bee is a He.

>>30443282
Fairy and Bug attacks should work.

>>30443563
Go quiver dance dazzling gleam bug buzz and psychic

That wasn't so hard, was it?

>>30443563
It's still good STAB despite being weaker than Moonblast. If it's in-game, it don't matter much, and for competitive you want to grab Clefairy or Whimsicott for that and have kids.

>>30443570
She's actually some kind of parasitic insect, but you can still probably fuck it.

>>30443626
It is because you're giving up steel coverage for poison. Do you really want to lose steel SE hits for Poison?

>>30443636
Yeah I just wish its ability was allowing it to have a fifth moveslot.

This little fucker probably lays its eggs inside innocent Beedrills and Combees when no one is looking.
Do you really trust this disgusting Pokemon?

>>30444706
Pokemon dont really lay eggs

should I take the effort to breed moonblast onto a cutiefly for an even scarier ribom or should I keep breeding till perfect iv?

>>30444835
RibomBee Movie confirmed

>>30443417
>accidentally starts eating Oddish one day
The Pokecops were terrified after being called onto the scene

>>30436357
I want her to gather my nectar

Oh what the fuck, why am I turned on by this tiny bee fly?

>>30444843
Both. First, breed a cutie with moonblast, then keep breeding for perfect IV. You have a 6IV ditto, right?

>>30436357
>is small
>is tiny
>is op AF

>>30445313
yeah I do, was halfway through my current ribom when i forgot that i didn't have moonblast. Probably should rebreed since its not full perf iv too.

If nothing else, this is my Razor Claw farming bro.

>>30446719
I didn't notice it was crying until now.

>>30446719
fly potato is not for lewd
only ribombee

>>30446742
Not to get between you and your bro, but wouldn't you want something with compound eyes (butterfree is the best I can think of, but there might be some I've forgotten)? The extra item chance is kind of nice

>>30443242
Look up Cochliomyia hominivorax. It's a fly that does exactly that. Lays some eggs on a little cut or mucus membrane and the maggots eat you alive.

IT'S HIP

Why do I find this arousing.

What moves do you guys run?

>>30450597
Psychic, Dazzling Gleam, Pollen Puff, Quiver Dance. Would run Moonblast and Bug Buzz over puff and gleam if it were competitive.

>>30447064
Butterfree isn't a fairy, and Compound Eyes is ok but you're going to get the fully evolved one often enough in SOS that the chance of getting an item is already massive and not much affected by Compound Eyes. I just want to not take damage. Though I now realise the evolved ones actually have Headbutt so a Ghost might be better.
