Fluffy_m1n’s winning team was built around heavy positioning pressure and multiple independent ways to close games. Rillaboom, Sneasler, and Incineroar all carried Fake Out, giving the team frequent opportunities to deny opposing turns while setting up or forcing favorable trades. Rillaboom used Miracle Seed with Grassy Surge and paired Wood Hammer with Grassy Glide, giving the team both immediate damage and priority. Incineroar brought Intimidate, Passho Berry, Parting Shot, Fake Out, Throat Chop, and Flare Blitz, making it the main defensive pivot.
The offensive core had several different angles. Kingambit with Life Orb, Defiant, Kowtow Cleave, Sucker Punch, Swords Dance, and Protect gave Fluffy_m1n a clear physical win condition that punished stat drops and threatened late-game priority. Sneasler used Focus Sash with Poison Touch, Poison Jab, Close Combat, Fake Out, and Quick Guard, adding speed control counterplay through Quick Guard while still pressuring with strong attacks. Delphox carried Delphoxite with Heat Wave, Psyshock, Nasty Plot, and Protect, offering spread damage and a setup route. Eternal Flower Floette used Floettite with Dazzling Gleam, Draining Kiss, Calm Mind, and Protect, giving the team another special setup option and a Fairy-type damage profile.
Across the top teams, Incineroar remained a major presence, appearing on the 1st, 2nd, and 4th place teams with Intimidate and Fake Out. Rillaboom appeared on both finalist teams, though with different items: Miracle Seed for Fluffy_m1n and Leftovers for Messyboi. Sneasler also showed up repeatedly, including Fluffy_m1n’s Focus Sash Poison Touch set and Psychic Seed Unburden variants on BrainDamageVGC, ChemiX, and armortail.
Another clear trend was the Salamence package. Salamence with Salamencite appeared in 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 8th, commonly alongside Tailwind and Hyper Voice. BrainDamageVGC, ChemiX, and armortail all used a very similar group of Golisopod, Salamence, Armarouge, Sneasler, Milotic, and Indeedee ♀, with Psychic Surge, Trick Room, Expanding Force, Icy Wind, and Follow Me forming a consistent mode. Eternal Flower Floette also stood out near the top, appearing on both 1st and 2nd place teams with Floettite and Calm Mind.
Takeaway for ladder players: prioritize teams with layered Fake Out pressure, flexible setup threats, and reliable defensive pivots.
