Pokémon Champions Reg M-B | CGCL Weekly #5 results recap

Pokémon Champions Reg M-B | CGCL Weekly #5 was an 18-player online event on Limitless, played on 2026-08-08 under Pokemon Champions Regulation Set M-B. B2K [DE] finished first at 6-1-0, with the final round matches listing b2k wins over oriion and ahwokn.

Place Player Record Team
1 B2K [DE] 6-1-0 Sneasler / Eternal Flower Floette / Kingambit / Basculegion / Incineroar / Sinistcha
2 ryubega . [US] 5-2-0 Sinistcha / Incineroar / Milotic / Eternal Flower Floette / Ceruledge / Raichu
3 OriioN [ES] 4-2-0 Staraptor / Tyranitar / Excadrill / Milotic / Gholdengo / Sinistcha
4 Giozztan [PH] 3-2-0 Raichu / Scizor / Sinistcha / Ceruledge / Milotic / Weavile

B2K’s winning team combined immediate pressure with several layers of positioning. Sneasler held Focus Sash with Poison Touch and carried Fake Out, Dire Claw, Close Combat, and Protect, giving the team a fast disruptive lead option. Incineroar added the familiar Intimidate, Fake Out, Helping Hand, and Parting Shot package with Sitrus Berry, making it easier to cycle pressure while keeping the board manageable.

The main damage profile was split between Kingambit and Basculegion. Kingambit used Life Orb, Defiant, Adamant, Kowtow Cleave, Sucker Punch, Swords Dance, and Protect, providing both setup potential and priority. Basculegion’s Choice Scarf set with Adaptability, Wave Crash, Last Respects, Aqua Jet, and Flip Turn gave B2K a fast Water-type attacker that could also pivot. Eternal Flower Floette was the team’s Floettite user, with Flower Veil, Timid, Draining Kiss, Dazzling Gleam, Calm Mind, and Protect, while Sinistcha rounded out the roster with Occa Berry, Hospitality, Matcha Gotcha, Rage Powder, Trick Room, and Protect. That mix let B2K play both proactive and reactive games without relying on a single speed mode.

Across the top 4, Sinistcha was the clearest repeated pick, appearing on all four teams. The sets varied slightly, but Hospitality, Matcha Gotcha, Rage Powder, and Protect were common elements, with Trick Room appearing on B2K’s and Giozztan’s versions. Eternal Flower Floette appeared on both the first- and second-place teams, each using Floettite, Flower Veil, Calm Mind, Draining Kiss, Dazzling Gleam, and Protect, though B2K used Timid while ryubega . used Modest.

Milotic was another major top-table presence, showing up on ryubega ., OriioN, and Giozztan. Each Milotic used Competitive, and two of the three paired Leftovers with Coil, Muddy Water, Hypnosis, and Protect. Raichu with Raichunite Y and Lightning Rod also appeared twice in the top 4, on ryubega . and Giozztan, both carrying Zap Cannon, Focus Blast, and Protect.

Item-wise, Focus Sash remained important for fragile pressure pieces, appearing on B2K’s Sneasler, OriioN’s Excadrill, and Giozztan’s Weavile. Life Orb also showed up on major physical or special attackers, including B2K’s Kingambit, OriioN’s Gholdengo, and Giozztan’s Scizor.

Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Sinistcha-supported balance cores that can pivot, redirect, and still threaten setup endgames.
