Losandy’s winning team had a clear balance of disruption, protection, and flexible damage. Kangaskhan with Silk Scarf, Scrappy, Fake Out, and Last Resort gave the team a direct way to pressure turns immediately. Farigiraf added Armor Tail and Trick Room, with Colbur Berry helping it stay on the field long enough to enable slower positioning when needed. Hisuian Zoroark brought Focus Sash, Illusion, and a special attacking package of Hyper Voice, Bitter Malice, and Icy Wind, giving Losandy both damage and speed control.

The support core was just as important. Maushold’s Friend Guard, Follow Me, Feint, Super Fang, and Charm covered several different board states, from redirecting attacks to breaking through defensive positioning. Staraptor used Staraptite with Intimidate, Close Combat, Brave Bird, Roost, and Protect, while Pyroar used Pyroarite with Heat Wave, Hyper Voice, Scorching Sands, and Protect. Together, the team had multiple Protect users, redirection, Fake Out, Trick Room, Icy Wind, and Intimidate, which explains how it could adapt across matchups without dropping a set.

Across the top teams, weather stood out. LuizRed and TitanoPigro3 both used Swampert with Swampertite, Pelipper with Drizzle, and Basculegion, creating two similar rain-based cores in the top four. LuizRed’s version used Pelipper with Sharp Beak, Tailwind, and Wide Guard, plus Basculegion with Choice Scarf and Adaptability. TitanoPigro3 used Pelipper with Damp Rock, Rain Dance, and Tailwind, while Basculegion carried Life Orb and Swift Swim.

Roda’s third-place team leaned into sun and Fire pressure, with Charizardite Y Charizard, Drought Torkoal, Cameruptite Camerupt, and support from Incineroar, Armarouge, and Talonflame. Notable repeated items in the top four included Sitrus Berry and Focus Sash, both appearing on multiple teams, while Protect was widespread across nearly every roster.

Takeaway for ladder players: build with both speed control and board control, because the top teams were not relying on raw damage alone.
