gunk0’s winning team was built around fast pressure, layered speed control, and multiple forms of priority. Froslass carried Froslassite with Cursed Body and a direct support-offense set of Blizzard, Shadow Ball, Aurora Veil, and Protect. Aurora Veil gave the team a way to stabilize while its attackers traded aggressively. Talonflame added Sharp Beak, Gale Wings, Brave Bird, Flare Blitz, Tailwind, and Protect, giving the composition another immediate speed-control mode.
The middle of the team kept opponents from settling into clean positioning. Sneasler used White Herb with Unburden, pairing Dire Claw and Close Combat with Fake Out and Quick Guard. That gave gunk0 both disruption and protection against opposing priority lines. Lycanroc Dusk, holding Focus Sash, supplied Rock Slide, Close Combat, Accelerock, and Protect, adding another fast threat with priority access.
The endgame tools were Kingambit and Basculegion. Kingambit ran Life Orb with Defiant and Kowtow Cleave, Iron Head, Sucker Punch, and Protect, giving the team a punishing physical attacker that could threaten priority KOs. Basculegion used Mystic Water with Adaptability and Wave Crash, Last Respects, Aqua Jet, and Protect, making it a strong closer once the board had been softened. Overall, the team leaned into constant tempo: Tailwind, Aurora Veil, Fake Out, Quick Guard, Focus Sash, Sucker Punch, Accelerock, and Aqua Jet all supported that plan.
Across the top teams, Staraptor was the most visible repeated pick in the top four, appearing on MeganVGC, BHelixB, and Mojiko. All three used Staraptite, and each set included Brave Bird and Close Combat. Basculegion appeared on both gunk0 and Mojiko, with both sets featuring Adaptability, Last Respects, Aqua Jet, and Protect.
Gholdengo also had a strong showing near the top, appearing on MeganVGC and BHelixB, both with Good as Gold, Shadow Ball, Nasty Plot, and Protect. Milotic was shared by MeganVGC and BHelixB with Competitive and Scald, though the item choices differed between Leftovers and Sitrus Berry. Focus Sash was common across the top four as well, appearing on Lycanroc Dusk, Whimsicott, Excadrill, and Basculegion. Life Orb showed up on gunk0’s Kingambit, MeganVGC’s Hydreigon, BHelixB’s Gholdengo, and Mojiko’s Meowscarada.
Takeaway for ladder players: this event rewarded teams that combined speed control with immediate damage and multiple priority options.
