joeygobran’s winning team was a clean sand offense structure with multiple ways to control tempo. Tyranitar’s Sand Stream paired directly with Excadrill’s Sand Rush, giving the team a fast physical mode backed by Rock Slide, High Horsepower, and Iron Head. Tyranitar also carried Knock Off and Low Kick, letting it pressure items and opposing heavy targets while still keeping Protect.
Salamence added Intimidate and a special attacking profile with Hyper Voice, Draco Meteor, and Flamethrower, which helped the team avoid being purely physical. Rillaboom provided the standard Grassy Surge support package of Fake Out, Grassy Glide, Wood Hammer, and U-turn, giving joeygobran priority damage and pivoting. Blaziken was another speed-scaling attacker through Speed Boost, using Life Orb with Heat Wave, Aura Sphere, and Vacuum Wave. Milotic rounded the six out with Competitive, Haze, Icy Wind, Scald, and Sitrus Berry, giving the team a stabilizing piece against stat changes and speed control.
Across the top teams, Tyranitar plus Excadrill stood out because both joeygobran and noah100800 brought Tyranitarite Tyranitar with Sand Stream alongside Focus Sash Excadrill with Sand Rush. Salamence with Salamencite and Intimidate also appeared on both of those teams, making that sand core one of the clearest repeated structures in the top four.
Rillaboom remained a major support and damage option, appearing on the first- and third-place teams with Miracle Seed, Grassy Surge, Fake Out, Wood Hammer, and Grassy Glide. Focus Sash was also common near the top, showing up on Excadrill, Pawmot, and Hisuian Arcanine. Psychic Surge support was present through 415jason’s Indeedee ♀ and noah100800’s Choice Scarf Indeedee, while Sneasler with White Herb and Unburden appeared on both Zach K [US] and noah100800 [US].
Takeaway for ladder players: if you are building in Regulation Set M-C, prepare seriously for sand offense, Rillaboom pressure, and Focus Sash attackers.
