IanCCx’s winning team was built around overlapping speed and field control rather than a single mode. Meowstic brought Meowsticite, Prankster, Fake Out, Psychic Terrain, Sunny Day, and Expanding Force, giving the team a clear way to set terrain pressure while also supporting its weather plan. Reuniclus added a second Expanding Force user with Life Orb and Magic Guard, while Trick Room gave the team a slower mode for Torkoal.
The fire core was direct and threatening. Torkoal used Charcoal, Drought, Eruption, Weather Ball, Earth Power, and Helping Hand, while Typhlosion carried Choice Scarf with Flash Fire and Eruption, Heat Wave, Solar Beam, and Flamethrower. That combination let IanCCx threaten immediate spread damage under sun while still having Trick Room access for games where Torkoal could take over.
The support choices also mattered. Tsareena’s Queenly Majesty and Miracle Seed set included Protect, Trop Kick, Helping Hand, and Knock Off, giving the team another Helping Hand user and useful priority denial. Maushold rounded out the group with Wide Lens, Technician, Population Bomb, Follow Me, Taunt, and Protect, adding redirection and disruption beside the main attackers.
Across the top teams, Rillaboom was the most visible repeated Pokemon near the top, appearing on the teams of Foghorn, Unknown6666, and itzricc. Each of those Rillaboom used Miracle Seed, Grassy Surge, and Fake Out, with Grassy Glide and Wood Hammer also common. Eternal Flower Floette was another major trend, appearing on both Foghorn and itzricc in the top four, each with Floettite, Flower Veil, Calm Mind, Dazzling Gleam, and Protect.
Raichu also had a strong showing, appearing on both Unknown6666 and itzricc with Raichunite Y, Lightning Rod, Zap Cannon, Focus Blast, Fake Out, and Protect. Arcanine appeared on Foghorn and itzricc, both using Intimidate, Sitrus Berry, Snarl, and Protect. The broader picture was a top cut filled with Fake Out, terrain control, setup threats, and bulky utility pieces rather than purely offensive six-Pokemon squads.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Rillaboom plus Fake Out structures, but do not ignore sun, Trick Room, and Expanding Force combinations.
