othunder21’s winning team was built around strong positioning tools and multiple setup or burst-damage threats. Incineroar with Sitrus Berry, Intimidate, Fake Out, Flare Blitz, Throat Chop, and Parting Shot gave the team a classic pivoting backbone, while Rillaboom with Miracle Seed, Grassy Surge, Fake Out, Wood Hammer, Grassy Glide, and High Horsepower added terrain control and priority pressure.

The more distinctive part of the composition was how it paired that support shell with several attackers that demand immediate answers. Eternal Flower Floette used Floettite with Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, Calm Mind, and Protect, giving othunder21 a Fairy-type win condition that could pressure both single targets and both opposing slots. Garchomp carried Garchompite Z with a Modest nature and a special attacking set of Dragon Pulse, Power Gem, Earth Power, and Protect, which stood out from more conventional physical expectations. Gholdengo rounded out the special offense with Life Orb, Good as Gold, Make It Rain, Shadow Ball, Nasty Plot, and Protect.

Sneasler was the clearest beneficiary of the team’s Grassy terrain mode. With Grassy Seed, Unburden, Close Combat, Dire Claw, Throat Chop, and Protect, it fit naturally beside Rillaboom and gave the team fast physical pressure after its item was activated. Overall, the list combined Fake Out cycling, Parting Shot positioning, priority from Grassy Glide, and multiple Protect users to create flexible endgames.

Across the top cut of standings, Rillaboom was the defining repeat pick. It appeared on each of the top four teams and all of the top eight teams shown, most often with Grassy Surge, Fake Out, Grassy Glide, and Wood Hammer. Miracle Seed was especially common among the highest finishers, appearing on othunder21, shaikhvgc786, mesias707, JDevis, and vedantff12345.

Gholdengo also had a strong showing near the top, appearing on both first and second place with Life Orb, Good as Gold, Nasty Plot, Make It Rain, Shadow Ball, and Protect. Incineroar remained a key support piece, appearing on the first, fourth, fifth, and eighth place teams with Intimidate and Fake Out. Several top teams leaned on major transformation items as central pieces, including Floettite, Garchompite Z, Staraptite, Raichunite Y, Tyranitarite, Charizardite Y, Glimmoranite, Gengarite, and Salamencite.

Takeaway for ladder players: prepare seriously for Rillaboom-centered positioning, because the best teams here used Grassy Surge support without giving up offensive pressure.
