MegaUmbreonVGC’s winning team leaned on layered positioning tools and multiple win paths. Raichu with Raichunite Y, Lightning Rod, Fake Out, and Protect gave the team immediate disruption while threatening Zap Cannon and Focus Blast. Rillaboom added a second Fake Out user, Grassy Surge, Miracle Seed-boosted Wood Hammer, and priority Grassy Glide, creating a strong terrain-based tempo core with Incineroar’s Intimidate, Fake Out, and Parting Shot.
The more proactive side of the team came from Eternal Flower Floette, Volcarona, and Basculegion. Eternal Flower Floette used Floettite with Protect, Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, and Calm Mind, giving the team a special attacker that could pressure both single targets and both opposing slots. Volcarona’s Grassy Seed set paired Quiver Dance with Heat Wave and Giga Drain, fitting naturally beside Grassy Surge support. Basculegion rounded out the six with Choice Scarf, Adaptability, Wave Crash, Last Respects, Flip Turn, and Soak, giving MegaUmbreonVGC speed control through item choice and a direct way to punish weakened endgames.
Across the top cut of the standings, Rillaboom was one of the clearest repeats. It appeared on MegaUmbreonVGC’s, malyssious’s, E1Diablo’s, and averagememer57’s teams, always with Miracle Seed and Grassy Surge. Fake Out plus Grassy Glide was a common pairing on those Rillaboom sets, reinforcing how valuable priority and terrain control were in this event.
Raichu also stood out near the top. MegaUmbreonVGC and malyssious both used Raichu with Raichunite Y, Lightning Rod, Timid, Zap Cannon, Focus Blast, Fake Out, and Protect. Basculegion was another repeated pressure piece, appearing on the first-, fourth-, and seventh-place teams, with Choice Scarf Adaptability sets in both first and fourth.
The runner-up team took a different route, built around Politoed with Drizzle, Swampert with Swampertite, Archaludon with Leftovers and Stamina, and Whimsicott with Prankster Tailwind. That combination placed weather, speed control, and bulkier special pressure near the top of the standings, while Salamence and Chandelure gave the team additional offensive coverage and utility.
Takeaway for ladder players: prioritize teams that combine Fake Out pressure, speed control, and at least one clear late-game damage plan.
