Fluffy_m1n’s winning team was built around layered support and flexible damage. Choice Scarf Garchomp gave the team immediate speed and pressure with Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Stomping Tantrum, and Rock Tomb, while Rough Skin added passive punishment into contact-heavy lines. The support core was especially dense: Sinistcha with Kasib Berry, Hospitality, Rage Powder, Life Dew, and Protect; Maushold with Focus Sash, Friend Guard, Follow Me, Super Fang, Feint, and Protect; and Incineroar with Passho Berry, Intimidate, Parting Shot, Fake Out, Throat Chop, and Flare Blitz.
That structure gives Delphox and Eternal Flower Floette time to operate. Delphox used Delphoxite with Heat Wave, Psyshock, Nasty Plot, and Protect, giving the team a special attacker that could scale if supported by redirection or Fake Out. Eternal Flower Floette carried Floettite with Dazzling Gleam, Draining Kiss, Calm Mind, and Protect, adding another setup route and sustained Fairy-type pressure. The combination of Friend Guard, Hospitality, Life Dew, Follow Me, Rage Powder, Intimidate, and Parting Shot made the team less about one linear mode and more about controlling the board long enough for its boosted attackers or Choice Scarf Garchomp to close games.
Across the top teams, Garchomp was the clearest repeated attacker, appearing on Fluffy_m1n, Charmoffense, jokerjr888, and TristanBubba. Incineroar was also heavily represented, appearing on five of the top seven teams with Intimidate, Fake Out, and Parting Shot showing up as common utility. Delphox appeared on both first and second place teams with Delphoxite, Heat Wave, Nasty Plot, Psyshock, and Protect between the two sets.
Redirection and damage mitigation were also major themes. Sinistcha appeared on the top two teams, both using Hospitality and Rage Powder, while Maushold appeared on first and fourth with Friend Guard and Follow Me. Focus Sash was common across Maushold, Sneasler, Kingambit, Basculegion, Alolan Ninetales, Excadrill, and Whimsicott in the top eight, underlining how many teams valued guaranteed action from key support or offensive pieces. Sitrus Berry also showed up repeatedly on Incineroar, Farigiraf, Pelipper, and Wash Rotom.
Takeaway for ladder players: Regulation M-B teams that combine fast pressure with redirection, Intimidate, and setup protection are already showing strong results.
