ChefRich22’s winning team was built around flexible weather pressure and sturdy positioning. Charizard with Charizardite Y carried Protect, Heat Wave, Weather Ball, and Hurricane, while Pelipper brought Drizzle, Sitrus Berry, Hurricane, Weather Ball, Tailwind, and Wide Guard. That combination gave the team immediate spread pressure, speed control, and protection against opposing spread attacks.

Archaludon added a durable special attacker with Leftovers, Stamina, Protect, Electro Shot, Dragon Pulse, and Flash Cannon. Venusaur supplied a Focus Sash Chlorophyll option with Sleep Powder, Sludge Bomb, Leaf Storm, and Protect, giving the team a disruptive piece that could punish passive turns. Swampert with Swampertite, Wave Crash, Earthquake, Ice Punch, and Protect gave ChefRich22 a physical mode that did not rely on the same offensive lanes as Charizard or Archaludon. Grimmsnarl rounded the team out with Light Clay, Prankster, Light Screen, Reflect, Parting Shot, and Spirit Break, making the overall structure much harder to break through cleanly.

The runner-up team from QueerCrocodile leaned into strong direct attackers and priority. Eternal Flower Floette with Floettite was paired with Whimsicott’s Focus Sash Prankster Tailwind, while Basculegion, Kingambit, Dragonite, and Hisuian Arcanine gave the team multiple ways to pressure endgames through Wave Crash, Last Respects, Sucker Punch, Extreme Speed, Rock Slide, Flare Blitz, and Head Smash.

Several trends stood out across the top standings. Focus Sash appeared repeatedly on key enablers and attackers, including Venusaur, Whimsicott, Tyranitar, and Lycanroc Dusk. Sitrus Berry also showed up often, including Pelipper, Hisuian Arcanine, Incineroar, and Farigiraf. Kingambit was one of the most common Pokemon in the upper cut of the standings, appearing on QueerCrocodile, BrazBR, Aizawa, Airpod, and ChrisHime. Charizard also had a strong showing, with ChefRich22, BrazBR, and Aizawa all using Charizardite Y. Speed control was everywhere: Tailwind appeared on Pelipper, Whimsicott, Talonflame, Aerodactyl, Staraptor, and Dragonite, while Trick Room support appeared on Sinistcha and Farigiraf.

Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for layered speed control, repeated Focus Sash leads, and Kingambit endgames.
