Capu’s winning team was a clear low-speed offense built around Farigiraf with Sitrus Berry, Armor Tail, and a Sassy nature. Its moveset of Psychic Noise, Trick Room, Protect, Gravity gave the team both speed control and a way to support the heavier attackers. Gravity is especially relevant next to Camerupt, whose Cameruptite, Quiet nature, and spread pressure from Earth Power and Heat Wave fit naturally into the same mode.

The rest of the roster stayed committed to that plan. Sylveon with Fairy Feather and Pixilate brought strong Hyper Voice pressure, with Hyper Beam as an additional burst option. Blastoise used Blastoisinite with Water Spout, Aura Sphere, Dark Pulse, and Fake Out, giving the team another Mega attacker while still contributing positioning tools. Incineroar was more aggressive than many support variants, carrying Life Orb alongside Intimidate, Flare Blitz, Throat Chop, Parting Shot, and Fake Out. Vanilluxe rounded the team out with Snow Warning, Blizzard, Freeze-Dry, Ice Shard, and Aurora Veil, giving Capu weather disruption, Ice offense, and screen support in one slot.

The top cut showed several recurring ideas. Farigiraf appeared on both the champion’s team and tedinho90’s fourth-place team, and also showed up lower in the standings on Rallzzz’s roster. Incineroar remained a staple, appearing on Capu, Zero_D_Tempest, and ChapO_le_roi. Basculegion with Choice Scarf and Adaptability was shared by okarin and Zero_D_Tempest, both using Aqua Jet, Wave Crash, Last Respects, and Flip Turn in some order.

Weather was also a major theme. Okarin used Pelipper with Drizzle next to Archaludon, Basculegion, Charizard, and Venusaur, while Zero_D_Tempest paired Tyranitar with Sand Stream and Excadrill with Sand Rush. Sun elements appeared through Charizardite Y, Chlorophyll Venusaur, and Meganiumite Meganium on tedinho90’s team. Common items across the upper standings included Sitrus Berry, Life Orb, Focus Sash, and Choice Scarf, with Mega Stones spread across many different centerpiece Pokemon rather than one dominant Mega.

Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for layered speed control, because the best teams here could play through Trick Room, Tailwind, weather, or priority depending on the matchup.
