Terastal Phenomenon
In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (Generation 9), each Pokémon in Paldea has a Tera Type. A Pokémon's Tera Type is inactive until the Pokémon Terastallizes, at which time the Pokémon's type will change to its Tera Type.
There are 18 types, meaning there are countless combinations of Pokémon and Tera Types. Terastallizing a Pokémon allows you to enhance your battle strategies by increasing the power of any moves that have the same type as your Pokémon’s Tera Type or by changing your Pokémon’s weaknesses.
Fire moves are bad against Water/Dragon/Rock/Fire.
Flying moves are bad against Steel/Rock/Electric.
Poison moves are bad against Steel.
Rock moves are bad against Steel/Fighting/Ground.
Steel moves are bad against Water/Steel/Electric/Fire.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Ribombee is: Steel
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Bug or Fairy ) could also prove beneficial.

Special Sweeper Ribombee (Shield Dust)
Ribombee is a decent Special Sweeper for single battles. This moveset attempts to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. Throat Spray activates when a Pokemon uses a sound-based move (in this case Bug Buzz) and boosts Ribombee's special attack stat by 2 stages. Focus Sash helps protect Ribombee from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. With Shield Dust, Ribombee is not affected by the secondary effect of another pokemon's attack.
