AyushXD’s winning team is a rain-focused composition with several ways to slow the game down and force awkward positions. Politoed provides Drizzle and carries Weather Ball, Hypnosis, Perish Song, and Protect, pairing naturally with Swampert holding Swampertite. Swampert’s Wave Crash, Earthquake, and Ice Punch give it direct physical pressure once rain is established.
Gengar is the most distinctive piece of the winning six. With Gengarite, Cursed Body, a Modest nature, and Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb, Perish Song, and Protect, it adds a second Perish Song user alongside Politoed. That gives AyushXD access to a clear endgame plan: win positioning, deny knockouts with Protect and support, then close games through Perish Song pressure.
The support core is also practical. Vivillon holds Focus Sash with Compound Eyes and runs Hurricane, Sleep Powder, Rage Powder, and Protect, giving the team sleep pressure and redirection. Incineroar brings Passho Berry, Intimidate, Fake Out, Parting Shot, Throat Chop, and Protect, helping manage opposing offense while creating safe turns for Politoed, Gengar, or Swampert. Archaludon rounds out the team with Leftovers, Stamina, Electro Shot, Dragon Pulse, Flash Cannon, and Protect, giving the rain mode a durable special attacker that can sit on the field.
Across the top teams, Archaludon was the clearest trend. All of the top four used Archaludon with Leftovers and Stamina, and Electro Shot appeared on the first, third, and fourth place versions. Rain was also heavily represented: AyushXD used Politoed, while Fardeen_003X, NozoBozo, and GDP all used Pelipper with Drizzle, Sitrus Berry, Hurricane, Weather Ball, Tailwind, and Wide Guard.
Swampertite was another major marker of the event, appearing on AyushXD, NozoBozo, and GDP. Grimmsnarl with Light Clay, Prankster, Reflect, Light Screen, and Parting Shot appeared on the second, third, and fourth place teams, showing how valuable screen support was for these bulky weather structures. Charizard with Charizardite Y also made top finishes on Fardeen_003X, NozoBozo, and Rajvikramop099, giving several teams access to a competing sun mode.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare specifically for rain-backed Archaludon, Swampertite offense, and Light Clay Grimmsnarl screens.
