Cincciisk’s winning team was built around rain pressure with a Perish Song angle. Politoed supplied Drizzle and carried Sitrus Berry with Protect, Perish Song, Weather Ball, and Helping Hand, giving the team both weather control and a late-game timer option. Gengar with Gengarite added a second Perish Song user while also threatening Shadow Ball and Sludge Bomb, making the composition less dependent on only one mode.
The support core was very direct. Rillaboom brought Grassy Surge, Fake Out, U-turn, and Eject Button, while Incineroar added Intimidate, Fake Out, Parting Shot, and Passho Berry. That combination gave Cincciisk multiple ways to slow opposing damage, reposition, and create turns for Perish Song or rain attackers. Basculegion ♀ was the main fast rain attacker with Life Orb, Swift Swim, Muddy Water, Shadow Ball, Ice Beam, and Protect. Archaludon rounded out the six with Leftovers, Stamina, Protect, Electro Shot, Dragon Pulse, and Snarl, fitting naturally beside rain while adding a sturdier special option.
Across the top teams, Incineroar remained a major presence, appearing on each of the top three teams. Intimidate, Fake Out, and Parting Shot were common elements on those sets, reinforcing how valuable positioning still was in this field. Garchomp also showed up repeatedly near the top, appearing on LexMoon03, aler00, and Firezpirit, though with different item choices: Garchompite Z, Choice Scarf, and Garchompite.
Weather was another clear theme. Cincciisk used Politoed rain, while aler00 and Firezpirit both had Charizard with Charizardite Y. Outside the top four, Charizardite Y appeared again on LUVIER and Kuriboh06, while Politoed, Pelipper, Basculegion, Swampert, and Archaludon all appeared multiple times in the listed standings. Whimsicott was also prominent, appearing on LexMoon03, Firezpirit, LUVIER, and NIRVANA with Tailwind on each listed set.
Item trends were similarly concentrated. Sitrus Berry appeared on Politoed, Incineroar, Archaludon, Pelipper, and Farigiraf among the listed teams, while Leftovers was especially tied to bulkier options like Archaludon, Primarina, and Toxapex. Focus Sash also showed up on Venusaur, Whimsicott, Basculegion, and Pelipper.
Ladder takeaway: be prepared for rain-based Archaludon and Basculegion structures, while keeping a clear plan into Incineroar-supported positioning and Perish Song endgames.
