Dan G’s winning team had a clear weather-and-positioning core. Politoed brought Drizzle with Mystic Water and carried Weather Ball, Muddy Water, Ice Beam, and Protect, while Charizard used Charizardite Y with Heat Wave, Weather Ball, Hurricane, and Protect. That gave the team multiple weather angles without relying on only one attacker to convert them.
The rest of the composition supported that plan with strong defensive structure. Farigiraf provided Armor Tail, Sitrus Berry, Trick Room, Psychic, Grass Knot, and Protect, giving the team speed control and protection from priority pressure. Grimmsnarl added Light Clay with Reflect, Light Screen, Spirit Break, and Parting Shot, helping Dan G’s slower and bulkier pieces stay on the field. Archaludon’s Leftovers, Stamina, Dragon Pulse, Electro Shot, Snarl, and Protect fit that same approach: it could benefit from extended turns while contributing damage and disruption. Golisopod rounded out the six with Golisopite, Emergency Exit, Adamant nature, and the Leech Life, Iron Head, Drill Run, Protect set, giving the team a direct physical option alongside the special weather attackers.
Across the top teams, several patterns stood out. Farigiraf appeared on three of the top seven teams, all with Armor Tail and Trick Room, showing how valuable priority control remained. Golisopod with Golisopite was used by Dan G, Gelo Corrales, and Ryan Christian Tuyor, with Leech Life and Protect appearing on all three sets. Charizard with Charizardite Y also showed up repeatedly, including on the winning team, Zendrick Laurente’s fourth-place team, and Roni Rentillo’s sixth-place team.
Fake Out support was another major theme. Rillaboom, Sneasler, Incineroar, and Raichu all appeared with Fake Out among the listed teams, often paired with speed control or setup options. Sitrus Berry was common on Farigiraf, Rillaboom, and Incineroar, while Focus Sash appeared on Sneasler, Hisuian Arcanine, and Excadrill. The upper standings also featured multiple weather modes, including Drizzle, Drought, Sand Stream, and Sand Rush.
Takeaway for ladder players: prioritize teams that can control turn order while still presenting flexible damage through weather, Fake Out, and durable pivoting.
