DonVGC’s winning team was built around strong positioning, layered disruption, and a clear late-game threat. Choice Scarf Basculegion with Adaptability gave the team immediate speed and damage through Last Respects, Flip Turn, Wave Crash, and Aqua Jet. That set pairs well with a roster that can trade pieces while still maintaining board control.
The support core was especially compact. Incineroar brought Sitrus Berry, Intimidate, Fake Out, Flare Blitz, Darkest Lariat, and Parting Shot, giving DonVGC standard but very valuable tempo tools. Sinistcha added Colbur Berry, Hospitality, Rage Powder, Matcha Gotcha, and Life Dew, helping preserve key partners and redirect pressure. Gliscor supplied Tailwind while still threatening with Dual Wingbeat and High Horsepower, and Glimmora’s Focus Sash plus Toxic Debris gave the team a punishing lead option with Spiky Shield, Earth Power, Power Gem, and Sludge Bomb.
Eternal Flower Floette rounded out the team as the Floettite user, carrying Flower Veil, Draining Kiss, Dazzling Gleam, Calm Mind, and Protect. On this composition, it functioned as a durable Fairy-type win condition that benefited from the team’s redirection, Intimidate cycling, and speed control.
Across the top cut, several patterns stood out. Eternal Flower Floette with Floettite appeared on DonVGC’s first-place team, Laurin’s second-place team, Payojaim’s seventh-place team, and Akash VGC’s eighth-place team. Basculegion was also highly represented, appearing on the first, third, seventh, and eighth-place teams, with Choice Scarf on DonVGC and KingKai’s versions and Life Orb on Payojaim and Akash VGC’s versions.
Incineroar remained a major glue piece in the top three, appearing on DonVGC, Laurin, and KingKai’s teams. Kingambit also showed up repeatedly, appearing on KingKai, Frankenstein99, Payojaim, and Akash VGC’s teams, usually with Defiant and priority pressure from Sucker Punch. Farigiraf was another notable support pick on Laurin, Venator1, and Frankenstein99’s teams, each using Armor Tail and Trick Room.
Item trends were also clear. Focus Sash appeared on Glimmora, Decidueye, Alolan Ninetales, Venusaur, Hisuian Arcanine, and Sneasler across the top eight. Sitrus Berry was common on Incineroar, Farigiraf, and Pelipper. Choice Scarf showed up on Basculegion, Houndstone, and Garchomp, reinforcing how much value fast pressure had in this event.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Eternal Flower Floette, Basculegion, Incineroar, and Kingambit cores, while respecting both Tailwind and Trick Room modes.
