Breloom (Japanese: リザードン Kinogassa) is a Grass/Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in the Ruby and Sapphire versions of the games. It has been in the OU tier since its introduction in the third generation, mainly because of its access to a reliable sleep-inducing move in the form of Spore. In D/P, it gained the ability Poison Heal, which allows double the recovery provided by Leftovers while Breloom is poisoned. With the introduction of the status inducing items, Flame Orb and Toxic Orb, Breloom can poison itself almost instantly, giving it this recovery and an essential immunity to other status effects. It can switch in on specific threats, namely Swampert, and effectively use them to set up by either sleeping or scaring them off while Breloom uses Substitute. Behind a Substitute, Breloom can attack with STAB Focus Punch which is coming off of a huge Attack stat of 130. To cover other threats, Breloom can use Leech Seed, Seed Bomb or Stone Edge in the final moveslot. The common way to deal with a Breloom is to take advantage of Sleep Clause. Let it put one of your Pokémon to sleep, then switch in a Pokémon that Breloom can't stop without Spore. Examples of this are Gengar, Cresselia and Gliscor. Now force it out with the best move for killing Breloom.
