Doc_MrMega’s winning team was built around layered tempo control and multiple setup or snowball options. Sneasler carried White Herb with Unburden and a direct support set of Fake Out, Close Combat, Dire Claw, and Coaching, giving the team early disruption while also enabling physical partners. Kingambit used Life Orb, Defiant, and Adamant with Kowtow Cleave, Sucker Punch, Iron Head, and Protect, offering strong immediate damage and priority pressure.
The rest of the six gave the team a stable balance core. Eternal Flower Floette with Floettite, Flower Veil, Bold, Dazzling Gleam, Draining Kiss, Calm Mind, and Protect provided a dedicated boosting Fairy-type presence. Volcarona used Leftovers with Flame Body and a Timid Quiver Dance set alongside Flamethrower, Struggle Bug, and Protect, adding another win condition that could also reduce opposing special damage. Rillaboom and Incineroar rounded out the composition with two Fake Out users, Grassy Surge support, Intimidate, and pivoting through U-turn and Parting Shot.
The biggest trend at the top was Rillaboom. It appeared on all four highest-placing teams, with Miracle Seed on Doc_MrMega, TFZ_Jhinting, and Altkyle [GB], and Life Orb on Cutiepon [DE]. Incineroar was also heavily represented, appearing on both finalist teams and several other top-eight squads, most often with Sitrus Berry, Intimidate, Fake Out, Flare Blitz, Throat Chop, and Parting Shot.
Sneasler was another recurring piece, showing up on the winning team, Cutiepon [DE]’s fourth-place team, Oghren2 [DE]’s seventh-place team, and DrJanItor [DE]’s eighth-place team. Its items varied across White Herb, Grassy Seed, Focus Sash, and Psychic Seed, but Close Combat and Dire Claw were consistent. Volcarona also reached both first and second, though with different items: Leftovers on Doc_MrMega and Grassy Seed on TFZ_Jhinting.
The top four also showed a wide spread of major item-based attackers, including Metagrossite, Garchompite Z, Dragoninite, Raichunite Y, Tyranitarite, Chandelurite, and Floettite. Focus Sash remained common across the wider top cut, appearing on Pawmot, Hisuian Arcanine, Excadrill, and Sneasler.
Takeaway for ladder players: Rillaboom plus strong Fake Out cycling remained the clearest shared structure among the best-performing teams.
