JeanChasuble’s winning team was built around strong board control and multiple fast pressure points. Rillaboom with Miracle Seed and Grassy Surge supplied Fake Out support while threatening real damage with Wood Hammer and Grassy Glide. That terrain also supported Volcarona’s Grassy Seed set, giving it a route to set up with Quiver Dance while still pressuring with Heat Wave and sustaining with Giga Drain.

The team’s Mega-style threats covered different angles. Garchomp used Garchompite Z with Rough Skin and a special attacking moveset of Draco Meteor, Earth Power, Power Gem, and Protect, giving the composition broad coverage without leaning on the more common physical profile. Raichu with Raichunite Y and Lightning Rod added another Fake Out user, Electric redirection, and high-risk special pressure through Zap Cannon and Focus Blast. Incineroar gave the team Intimidate, Rocky Helmet chip, Fake Out, and Parting Shot, while Basculegion’s Choice Scarf set provided immediate speed with Wave Crash, Last Respects, Aqua Jet, and Flip Turn.

The top tables showed a very clear core. Rillaboom appeared on each of the top four teams, always with Miracle Seed, Grassy Surge, Adamant, Wood Hammer, Grassy Glide, and Fake Out. Raichu with Raichunite Y and Lightning Rod was on three of the top four, while Garchomp with Garchompite Z appeared on the top three teams. Gholdengo was also heavily represented, taking Life Orb on the second-, third-, and fourth-place teams with Make It Rain, Shadow Ball, Nasty Plot, and Protect.

Sneasler was another major trend, appearing on Yugansh, PrehistoricAnomaly, and FarigiBoy’s teams. Two of those used Grassy Seed with Unburden, while PrehistoricAnomaly used White Herb instead. Hisuian Arcanine also showed up on both Yugansh and FarigiBoy, both using Focus Sash, Rock Head, Head Smash, Flare Blitz, Extreme Speed, and Protect. Volcarona had two different looks in the top three: JeanChasuble’s Grassy Seed Quiver Dance set and PrehistoricAnomaly’s Rocky Helmet support set with Rage Powder and Tailwind.

Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Rillaboom-centered structures with Raichu, Garchomp, Gholdengo, and Sneasler, because this event’s top cut was heavily shaped by that cluster.
