Oinky’s winning team is built around layered speed control and positioning. Farigiraf is the clearest structural piece, using Armor Tail, Sitrus Berry, Trick Room, Helping Hand, Psychic, and Protect to support slower pressure. Camerupt, holding Cameruptite with Solid Rock and a Quiet nature, fits that plan directly with Heat Wave, Earth Power, Ancient Power, and Protect. Under Trick Room, it gives the team spread damage and strong Ground coverage.
The rest of the six gives Oinky multiple ways to reach those positions. Rillaboom provides Grassy Surge, Life Orb damage, Fake Out, Grassy Glide, Wood Hammer, and U-turn. Incineroar adds Intimidate, Fake Out, Parting Shot, Flare Blitz, and Darkest Lariat, with White Herb helping preserve its role into stat drops. Raichu brings Raichunite Y, Lightning Rod, Fake Out, Protect, Zap Cannon, and Focus Blast, giving the team another fast support option outside of Trick Room. Sylveon rounds out the offense with Fairy Feather, Pixilate, Hyper Voice, Moonblast, Calm Mind, and Detect, giving Oinky a second spread-damage attacker that does not rely on the same coverage as Camerupt.
Across the top teams, Raichu was one of the defining repeated picks. Oinky, Luca Gabriele Beruatto [IT], Mirando [IT], and JadeLiberte all used Raichu with Raichunite Y and Lightning Rod, and each version carried Fake Out and Protect. Rillaboom was also heavily represented, appearing on five of the listed top eight teams, always with Grassy Surge and usually alongside Fake Out and Grassy Glide.
Fire- and Dragon-focused item cores also stood out. Charizard with Charizardite Y appeared on RobertoGP23 [ES], James19_7 [GB], and asierelhaci [ES]. Salamence with Salamencite appeared on RobertoGP23 [ES], asierelhaci [ES], and Straccavgc [IT]. Basculegion was another repeated offensive piece, showing up on RobertoGP23 [ES], asierelhaci [ES], Mirando [IT], and Straccavgc [IT], most often with Adaptability, Wave Crash, Last Respects, and Aqua Jet.
Support items were concentrated around familiar roles: Focus Sash appeared on Hisuian Arcanine, Whimsicott, and Venusaur; Sitrus Berry showed up on Farigiraf, Pelipper, and multiple Incineroar sets; Life Orb was used by Oinky’s Rillaboom, Luca Gabriele Beruatto [IT]’s Gholdengo, and several Basculegion builds.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Fake Out-heavy teams that can pivot between Trick Room, Tailwind, and immediate spread damage.
