Choice Band Rillaboom is a terrifying wallbreaker that can easily break through offensive teams and revenge kill offensive staples like Iron Valiant and Iron Boulder with its strong priority move in Grassy Glide. Wood Hammer is an even stronger STAB move, allowing Rillaboom to dispatch defensive stopgaps like Toxapex and Landorus-T; its recoil is also partially offset by Grassy Terrain recovery. Knock Off lets Rillaboom force progress on its rather limited defensive answers like Corviknight, Ferrothorn, and Zapdos by removing their Leftovers and Heavy-Duty Boots and making them more prone to being worn down by repeated hits or entry hazards, while Superpower shellacks supposed switch-ins like Heatran and Ferrothorn. U-turn lets Rillaboom pivot itself out from unfavorable matchups against the aforementioned Corviknight, as well as against Dragonite and Mega Scizor, letting it form a pivoting core with teammates like Urshifu-R or switch into threatening teammates like Volcarona and Heatran. Hawlucha in particular greatly benefits from being able to activate Unburden through Grassy Seed, giving it a Defense boost and letting it sweep weakened teams. In return, it threatens the Steel-types that wall Rillaboom, like Ferrothorn and Heatran. Dragon-types like Raging Bolt and Gouging Fire can be massive headaches for Rillaboom, so teammates that can threaten them, like Weavile, Iron Valiant, and Tapu Lele, are great partners for Rillaboom. On the flip side, teammates like Gouging Fire and Mega Scizor can struggle to break through bulky Water-types like Rotom-W and Toxapex, a job well-suited for Rillaboom. In return, those teammates appreciate Rillaboom's Grassy Terrain halving the power of miscellaneous uses of Earthquake, while they break through troublesome Steel- and Poison-types like Heatran and Galarian Slowking.
