raphafou03’s winning team was a compact weather-and-terrain offense with several flexible pressure points. Pelipper supplied Drizzle, Tailwind, Wide Guard, and a Focus Sash safety net, giving the team both speed control and protection into spread attacks. Swampert carried Swampertite with Protect, Wave Crash, Earthquake, and Ice Punch, making it one of the main physical attackers alongside Golisopod, Sneasler, and Rillaboom.
The rain mode also supported Archaludon, which used Leftovers, Stamina, Protect, Electro Shot, Dragon Pulse, and Aura Sphere. That set gave raphafou03 a durable special attacker that could stay on the field while the rest of the team applied immediate Fake Out and priority pressure. Rillaboom brought Grassy Surge with Life Orb, Fake Out, U-turn, Grassy Glide, and Wood Hammer, while Sneasler used Grassy Seed and Unburden with Fake Out, Dire Claw, Close Combat, and Rock Slide. Together, those two gave the team strong tempo tools: terrain control, double Fake Out access, priority from Grassy Glide, and a fast Unburden threat.
Golisopod was another key differentiator. With Golisopite, Emergency Exit, Adamant nature, and a set of Protect, Sucker Punch, Leech Life, and Iron Head, it added priority and coverage while fitting the team’s broader physical attacking profile. The final result was a team that could lead aggressively, pivot with U-turn, control speed with Tailwind, and still play longer games through Archaludon and Grassy Terrain support.
Across the upper standings, Pelipper plus Archaludon was one of the clearest repeated structures. That pairing appeared on raphafou03’s winning team, Fahim Salam’s fifth-place team, serazormax15 [ES]’s sixth-place team, and Colba [IT]’s eighth-place team. Archaludon was consistently paired with Leftovers and Stamina in those lists, while Pelipper repeatedly carried Hurricane, Weather Ball, Wide Guard, and either Tailwind or Helping Hand.
Charizard also showed up multiple times, all with Charizardite Y, on the teams of Fahim Salam, serazormax15 [ES], and Colba [IT]. Rillaboom appeared on first, third, and seventh-place teams with Grassy Surge, while Garchomp appeared on second, fifth, and sixth. Common item patterns included Focus Sash on Pelipper, Kingambit, Whimsicott, Venusaur, and Basculegion ♀; Sitrus Berry on Incineroar, Milotic, Pelipper, and Incineroar again in the listed teams; and Life Orb on Rillaboom, Gholdengo, and Basculegion.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Pelipper and Archaludon structures, but do not ignore Fake Out-heavy physical cores built around Rillaboom, Sneasler, and fast weather pressure.
