Is it just me, or has Breloom gone extinct?
Breloom is a considerable threat in the OU metagame; however, it has really died down in usage and effectiveness. From being able to always sleep an opponent successfully with Spore, set up Substitute, and fire off hard-hitting Focus Punches, Breloom is struggling to be even thought about on any team. The reason for this is because of the inclusion of Fidgit, Revenankh, and Kitsunoh. Fidgit gives Breloom massive trouble due to its immunity to Spore via Vital Spirit and access to Encore to keep Breloom using Spore or Substitute over and over again, forcing it to switch out. Revenankh can set up Bulk Up easily against Breloom, as it is immune to Focus Punch and is not necessarily threatened by Spore because of its Shed Skin ability. Finally, Kitsunoh is immune to Focus Punch and is resistant to Seed Bomb, two of the most common moves on Breloom, and can then threaten Breloom with ShadowStrike, an 80 Base Power physical Ghost-type attack that has a 50% chance to lower the opponent’s Defen
