Drag0nstyle’s winning team leaned on a strong mix of disruption, terrain pressure, setup, and fast cleanup. Froslass carried Froslassite with Cursed Body and a Timid nature, using Blizzard, Shadow Ball, Aurora Veil, and Protect. That gave the team a defensive support angle without sacrificing offensive pressure. Incineroar with Sitrus Berry, Intimidate, Parting Shot, and Fake Out added the expected pivoting tools, while Rillaboom supplied Grassy Surge, Miracle Seed-boosted Grass pressure, Fake Out, and priority through Grassy Glide.
The most important structural point is how cleanly the team’s pieces support Volcarona and Basculegion. Volcarona held Grassy Seed with Flame Body and a Modest nature, using Heat Wave, Giga Drain, Quiver Dance, and Protect. With Rillaboom enabling Grassy Seed, Volcarona had a clear path to set up while still threatening spread damage. Basculegion, meanwhile, gave the team immediate speed control through Choice Scarf and pressure with Adaptability Wave Crash, Last Respects, Flip Turn, and Aqua Jet. Garchomp rounded the six out with Garchompite Z, Rough Skin, and special coverage in Dragon Pulse, Power Gem, and Earth Power.
Across the top cut, several patterns stood out. Rillaboom with Miracle Seed and Grassy Surge appeared on the 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 8th place teams, making it one of the most repeated pieces near the top. Volcarona with Grassy Seed appeared on the 1st, 3rd, and 8th place teams, with Quiver Dance and Protect on all three. Basculegion also showed multiple successful forms: Choice Scarf Adaptability on Drag0nstyle’s and MaxxUpgrade’s teams, and Life Orb Swift Swim on Felix F’s rain team.
Sitrus Berry was a common stabilizing item, showing up on Incineroar for both Drag0nstyle and MaxxUpgrade, Sableye for Manucoel, Pelipper for scoseb, Milotic for Cutiepon, and Farigiraf for Katiclus. Weather also had a visible role: Manucoel used Charizard with Charizardite Y alongside Sableye Sunny Day, while scoseb paired Charizard with Pelipper, and Felix F used Pelipper with Basculegion. Garchomp was another frequent top performer, appearing on the 1st, 2nd, and 4th place teams with different item choices.
Takeaway for ladder players: Rillaboom plus Grassy Seed Volcarona and a fast Basculegion is a proven Regulation Set M-C core worth preparing for.
