How to beat Breloom
The threat is Spore, not the type chart — a free 100% sleep that sets up Swords Dance or a Technician Mach Punch. Bring a Flying-type: they resist both of Breloom’s STABs AND hit its 4× weakness. Ghost-types are outright immune to its Fighting moves. Either lead with a sleep-absorber you can spare, or pack a fast Fairy/Psychic/Flying that OHKOs before it can boost.
Flutter ManeGhostFairyIts Ghost typing makes it IMMUNE to Breloom’s Mach Punch and Close Combat, and Moonblast OHKOs — just respect Spore on the switch-in.
