Maxuki549’s winning team was built around a balanced core with multiple speed modes and several ways to control tempo. Garchomp held Garchompite Z with Rough Skin and a special Modest set of Earth Power, Power Gem, Protect, and Dragon Pulse, matching the same move package seen on several other high-finishing Garchomp teams. Volcarona carried Sitrus Berry with Struggle Bug, Heat Wave, Protect, and Quiver Dance, giving the team a setup option that also fit into longer board-positioning games.
The support structure was just as important. Rillaboom used Miracle Seed, Grassy Surge, Grassy Glide, Wood Hammer, U-turn, and Fake Out, while Farigiraf paired Grassy Seed and Armor Tail with Twin Beam, Helping Hand, Trick Room, and Hyper Voice. That combination gave Maxuki549 access to Fake Out pressure, Helping Hand boosts, and Trick Room without committing the entire team to a hard Trick Room identity. Milotic added Leftovers, Competitive, Icy Wind, Scald, Ice Beam, and Protect, giving the team another form of speed control. Golisopod rounded things out with Golisopite, Emergency Exit, Iron Head, Leech Life, Sucker Punch, and Protect.
Across the top teams, Garchomp was one of the clearest trends. Maxuki549, ProfSkarmoryYT, Smalls, and MarioCsGamer all used Garchomp with Garchompite Z, Rough Skin, Modest, Earth Power, Power Gem, Dragon Pulse, and Protect in some order. Rillaboom was also heavily represented, appearing on the winning team and on the teams of ProfSkarmoryYT, Smalls, Noah E, and MarioCsGamer. Fake Out plus Grassy Glide appeared repeatedly alongside Grassy Surge.
Raichu with Raichunite Y and Lightning Rod was another major top-cut presence, used by ExtremeEvoBoost, ProfSkarmoryYT, Smalls, and Noah E. Those Raichu sets consistently featured Zap Cannon, Focus Blast, and Protect, with Fake Out or Encore filling the remaining slot. Golisopod with Golisopite showed up on both first and second place, while Farigiraf appeared on first, second, and sixth, usually tied to Trick Room and Helping Hand.
Item trends were also concentrated. Leftovers appeared on Milotic, Archaludon, and Primarina among the top standings. Life Orb showed up on Pelipper, Gholdengo, Kingambit, Armarouge, and others. Focus Sash was used on Kingambit, Hisuian Arcanine, and Pelipper.
Ladder takeaway: prepare for Garchompite Z Garchomp, Raichunite Y Raichu, Rillaboom, and flexible Trick Room modes rather than only one-dimensional speed control.
