Breloom (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
IVs: 0 SpA
- Seed Bomb / Bullet Seed
- Mach Punch
- Spore
- Swords Dance / Stone Edge
Analysis
Choice Scarf makes Breloom faster with his lackluster Speed.
Technician boosts Mach Punch and makes it an 80 BP priority move. It boosts Bullet Seed as well.
Seed Bomb is STAB and is incredibly strong. Bullet Seed is strong as well but is inconsistent.
Mach Punch is boosted by Technician, becoming an 80 BP priority move.
Spore puts the opponent to sleep and lets Breloom get off a few hits before going down (if he does).
Swords Dance boosts Breloom's already monstrous Attack. Stone Edge gets rid of two of Breloom's weaknesses.

Why Spore and Swords Dance with Choice Scarf?
Spore isn't that bad as it destroys common switch-ins (besides Choice users are more hit-and-run type Pokemon), but Swords Dance is really pointless on a Scarf set and you're only hurting yourself by putting it (or any boosting move, for that matter) on a Scarfer.

Breloom @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Spore
- Focus Punch
- Seed Bomb
- Stone Edge / Swords Dance

Explanation: Spore prevents the opponent from setting up and puts them to sleep, while Focus Punch and Seed Bomb are strong STAB that works great with the Spore set up. Stone Edge is a powerful move that covers Breloom’s weaknesses to fire, ice and flying, but you can choose swords dance instead to raise your attack.


The reason I used the Poison Heal + Poison Orb combo instead of giving it Leftovers and Technician is because Poison Heal heals more HP and you can still get very powerful STABS without Technician.

Hope this Helped!

Solar beam is TERRIBLE on breloom and jolly I believe lowers Spa, just because a move is strong doesn't mean its always good.
Ok changing it to seed bomb. Sorry, I have a really bad habit of confusing special moves and physical moves ( sometimes )..  ( also my edited answer isn’t approved so I’ll just edit my comment since I can’t add a new one: I fixed the explanation )
Your explanation still says solar beam...
