Jhan Nemo Sugui’s winning team leaned into layered board control rather than a single obvious speed plan. Sinistcha carried Kasib Berry with Hospitality and a Relaxed nature, using Matcha Gotcha, Life Dew, Rage Powder, and Protect to keep partners stable while redirecting pressure. Incineroar added the familiar Intimidate package with Sitrus Berry, Flare Blitz, Throat Chop, Fake Out, and Parting Shot, giving the team repeated ways to slow down physical attackers and reposition.
The standout supporting angle was Milotic with Leftovers, Competitive, Calm nature, and Muddy Water, Coil, Hypnosis, Protect. That set gives the team a clear way to punish opposing Intimidate while also threatening accuracy-based disruption after Coil. Raichu used Raichunite Y with Lightning Rod, Timid nature, Zap Cannon, Focus Blast, Fake Out, and Protect, adding another Fake Out user and an Electric immunity redirection point. Eternal Flower Floette with Floettite, Flower Veil, Dazzling Gleam, Draining Kiss, Calm Mind, and Protect supplied the team’s Fairy-type win condition, while Ceruledge with Colbur Berry, Flash Fire, Bitter Blade, Shadow Sneak, Bulk Up, and Protect gave a physical setup option with priority.
Across the top standings, Eternal Flower Floette was the clearest shared centerpiece. It appeared on each of the top four teams, always with Floettite, though the move choices varied: the top three used Draining Kiss, Dazzling Gleam, Calm Mind, and Protect, while Adam Wright’s version ran Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, Light of Ruin, and Protect.
Sinistcha and Incineroar also had a strong showing near the top. The first three teams all included Sinistcha with Hospitality and Incineroar with Intimidate, making redirection, healing, Fake Out, and Parting Shot major themes among the highest finishers. Basculegion appeared on teams ranked second through fourth, with Choice Scarf on Merat Bilal’s and Georg Kevin Paquet’s teams and Mystic Water on Adam Wright’s. Kingambit was another repeated attacker, appearing in second and fourth with Black Glasses, Defiant, Adamant nature, Kowtow Cleave, Sucker Punch, and Protect.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Eternal Flower Floette cores backed by Sinistcha, Incineroar, and Basculegion-style pressure.
