Great Papayaman’s winning team combined a Charizardite Y Charizard and Focus Sash Venusaur with several strong positioning tools. Charizard carried Heat Wave, Solar Beam, Weather Ball, and Protect, while Venusaur used Leaf Storm, Sludge Bomb, Protect, and Sleep Powder with Chlorophyll. That gives the team immediate special pressure plus a disruptive sleep option that can punish passive turns.
The rest of the team covered both speed control and board control. Farigiraf used Colbur Berry, Armor Tail, and Trick Room, with Psychic, Thunderbolt, and Helping Hand rounding out its set. Incineroar provided the familiar Intimidate, Fake Out, and Parting Shot package alongside Flare Blitz and Darkest Lariat. Mawile held Mawilite with Play Rough, Rock Slide, Sucker Punch, and Protect, giving the team another priority option and spread damage. Garchomp, with Life Orb and Rough Skin, added Earthquake, Dragon Claw, Rock Slide, and Protect, fitting cleanly next to the team’s multiple ways to create favorable turns.
Across the top teams, Charizard was the defining repeated pick. Every team in the top four used Charizard with Charizardite Y, and it also appeared on the teams of kunzitoo [PT] and Collin Bradley [US]. Garchomp was similarly common, appearing on the first, third, fourth, sixth, and seventh-place teams, most often with Life Orb and Rough Skin.
Venusaur also had a strong showing, appearing on each of the top three teams. Focus Sash Venusaur was used by Great Papayaman and Pro4tomico [IT], while Purple_Meowstic [JP] chose Life Orb. Incineroar appeared on the first and third-place teams with Sitrus Berry, Intimidate, Fake Out, and Parting Shot. Basculegion was another recurring attacker in the upper standings, appearing on Pro4tomico [IT], IlRepe [IT], and kunzitoo [PT], with Last Respects and Aqua Jet present on all three sets.
Items also showed clear patterns. Charizardite Y was everywhere near the top, Focus Sash appeared on Venusaur, Annihilape, Whimsicott, Kingambit, Pelipper, and Excadrill, and Leftovers was repeatedly attached to bulkier pieces like Archaludon, Toxapex, Corviknight, and Sinistcha.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Charizardite Y structures backed by Chlorophyll Venusaur, Garchomp pressure, and disruption from Fake Out, Parting Shot, Tailwind, or Trick Room.
