oatmeal’s winning team was built around layered control and endgame pressure. Gengar held Gengarite with Cursed Body and carried Sludge Bomb, Shadow Ball, Perish Song, and Protect, giving the team a clear Perish Song mode alongside Politoed’s own Perish Song. Politoed also provided Drizzle, Sitrus Berry, Weather Ball, Encore, and Protect, making it more than just weather support.
The support core was especially compact. Rillaboom brought Grassy Surge, Fake Out, Grassy Glide, U-turn, and Protect with Eject Button, while Incineroar added Intimidate, Fake Out, Parting Shot, Darkest Lariat, and Protect with Passho Berry. Together, those two gave oatmeal repeated pivoting and tempo control. Vivillon’s Focus Sash, Compound Eyes, Sleep Powder, Rage Powder, Hurricane, and Protect added redirection and sleep pressure, helping create safe turns for Gengar, Politoed, or Archaludon. Archaludon rounded out the team with Leftovers, Stamina, Electro Shot, Dragon Pulse, Flash Cannon, and Protect, pairing naturally with Drizzle support from Politoed.
Across the top teams, Rillaboom and Incineroar remained central pieces. Rillaboom appeared on each of the top two teams and also on johnny111100’s fourth-place team, with Grassy Surge, Fake Out, and Grassy Glide showing up repeatedly. Incineroar was also present on first, second, and fourth, consistently using Intimidate, Fake Out, and Parting Shot.
Sneasler was another major trend, appearing on Theoneskywalker and Johnny111100 in the top four and continuing into the lower standings as well. The White Herb plus Unburden pairing appeared on both second and fourth, with Dire Claw, Close Combat, Fake Out, and either Protect or Coaching. Metagrossite was also common among high finishers, appearing on Theoneskywalker’s Metagross and Johnny111100’s Metagross.
Weather and terrain both mattered in the top cut of standings. oatmeal and trey9523 each used Politoed with Drizzle, while Alolan Ninetales gave Theoneskywalker Snow Warning and Aurora Veil. Grassy Surge teams leaned on Rillaboom not just for terrain, but for immediate priority and Fake Out pressure.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Fake Out-heavy Grassy Surge teams, Sneasler Unburden lines, and slower control modes built around Perish Song, Drizzle, or pivot cycling.
