smearglegoat’s winning team was built around two setup-capable special attackers, Delphox and Eternal Flower Floette, supported by a very compact defensive and disruption core. Delphox used Delphoxite with Heat Wave, Psyshock, Nasty Plot, and Protect, giving the team immediate spread pressure with the option to snowball when protected by Fake Out or redirection. Eternal Flower Floette added a second boosting line with Floettite, Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, Calm Mind, and Protect, making the team difficult to answer if opponents gave it free turns.
The support structure was straightforward but effective. Incineroar carried Sitrus Berry, Intimidate, Fake Out, Flare Blitz, Darkest Lariat, and Parting Shot, providing positioning and attack control. Sinistcha added Hospitality recovery, Rage Powder, Life Dew, Matcha Gotcha, and Protect while holding Kasib Berry. That combination gave the team both redirection and mid-game sustain. Kingambit, with Black Glasses, Defiant, Kowtow Cleave, Sucker Punch, Swords Dance, and Protect, punished stat drops and offered a strong late-game physical win condition. Sneasler rounded the team out with Focus Sash, Poison Touch, Fake Out, Dire Claw, Close Combat, and Quick Guard, giving the composition speed, disruption, and priority protection.
The clearest top-table trend was the Delphox, Incineroar, Sinistcha, Kingambit, and Sneasler shell appearing on both first and second place. lorcylovesyou used the same five Pokemon and added Blastoise with Blastoisinite, Water Spout, Dark Pulse, Shell Smash, and Protect, while the champion chose Eternal Flower Floette instead. Across those two teams, Focus Sash Sneasler, Sitrus Berry Incineroar, Black Glasses Kingambit, and Delphoxite Delphox were all repeated.
Sun also had a major presence just behind the finalists. OrangeSteve, scoobydrew [US], and RikoVGC [ES] all used Charizard with Charizardite Y alongside Garchomp, Sylveon, and Farigiraf variants. Venusaur appeared on both OrangeSteve’s and scoobydrew’s teams with Focus Sash and Chlorophyll, while Farigiraf supplied Trick Room utility and Armor Tail support. Rain was represented by Scarlett01 and Joseph Kanik [US], both using Swampert, Archaludon, and Pelipper structures, with Scarlett01 adding Basculegion, Maushold, and Gardevoir.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Delphox plus Incineroar/Sinistcha/Kingambit/Sneasler cores first, then make sure your team has coherent plans into Charizardite Y sun and Pelipper rain.
