SCRAAH’s winning team is built around layered speed control, immediate pressure, and multiple setup threats. Gyarados with Gyaradosite, Intimidate, Dragon Dance, Waterfall, Crunch, and Protect gives the team a physical win condition that can snowball once it finds a safe turn. Chandelure with Chandelurite, Flash Fire, Calm Mind, Heat Wave, Shadow Ball, and Protect fills a similar role from the special side, forcing opponents to respect both boosted spread damage and single-target Ghost pressure.
The support pieces are direct and efficient. Whimsicott brings Focus Sash, Prankster, Tailwind, Sunny Day, Moonblast, and Protect, giving SCRAAH a fast way to dictate tempo. Tinkaton adds Shuca Berry, Mold Breaker, Fake Out, Feint, Gigaton Hammer, and Helping Hand, which is a strong package for enabling partners and breaking through Protect turns. Tsareena’s Wide Lens set with Queenly Majesty, Power Whip, Triple Axel, Low Kick, and Protect adds priority control while still threatening a wide range of targets. Life Orb Garchomp rounds out the six with Rough Skin, Earthquake, Rock Slide, Dragon Claw, and Protect, giving the team reliable spread damage and a second fast physical attacker under Tailwind.
Across the top teams, Garchomp was the clearest recurring pick. SCRAAH, PaperSak, and NateDogGanesh all used Garchomp with Life Orb and Rough Skin, each carrying Earthquake and Protect. Whimsicott also appeared twice in the top three, both times with Prankster and Tailwind, though SCRAAH used Focus Sash while NateDogGanesh used Occa Berry.
Several other patterns stood out through the top eight. Incineroar appeared on SacredZzz, Devin Eliason, navicorrin, and Ragelax, almost always providing Intimidate, Fake Out, and Parting Shot. Kingambit appeared on NateDogGanesh, Devin Eliason, navicorrin, and Rocco_ne, with Defiant and Sucker Punch as consistent pressure points. Focus Sash was also common, showing up on Whimsicott, Glimmora, Sneasler, Talonflame, and Hisuian Arcanine among the listed teams.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Life Orb Garchomp, Prankster Tailwind, and Fake Out support if you want consistent results in Regulation Set M-B.
