Capitalizing on the capabilities of the two Fake Tears-using Perrserker and one Perrserker employing an attack cheer, Gholdengo employed its signature ability, Make It Rain, dealing devastating Steel-type damage to Delphox. Supplementing this feat was the Steely Spirit ability exhibited by each Perrserker, amplified further by the Choice Specs item. Lastly, a unique strategy was observed in a video involving baby Pokemon. Under the guidance of a trainer named Gimikyu_, two Igglybuffs and one Psyduck worked in unison, supporting a Spoink in their quest to defeat Delphox.
