| Place | Player | Record | Team |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 德尼特粉 1 [CN] | 11-1-0 | Charizard / Whimsicott / Basculegion / Floette / Garchomp / Incineroar |

The winning team is a clean six built around immediate pressure and flexible positioning. Charizard with Charizardite Y, Blaze, Modest, and Heat Wave, Weather Ball, Solar Beam, Protect gives the team its main special spread threat and a strong way to punish passive turns. Whimsicott supplies the essential tempo layer with Focus Sash, Prankster, Tailwind, Moonblast, Encore, Protect, letting the team decide when to accelerate and when to lock opponents into awkward lines.
Basculegion is the main physical closer, using Life Orb, Adaptability, Adamant, Wave Crash, Last Respects, Aqua Jet, Protect. The set gives 德尼特粉 1 both heavy damage and priority, which pairs well with the team’s ability to force trades early. Floette with Floettite, Flower Veil, Modest, Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, Light of Ruin, Protect adds another special attacking angle and gives the composition a Fairy-type damage source that does not rely on Tailwind to contribute.
Garchomp and Incineroar round out the structure. Garchomp’s Roseli Berry, Rough Skin, Jolly set with Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Rock Slide, Protect offers fast physical pressure and spread damage, while Incineroar provides the only Intimidate in the top two teams and gives the winner Fake Out, Flare Blitz, Throat Chop, Parting Shot with Sitrus Berry. That combination makes the team less one-dimensional than pure Tailwind offense.
Across the top standings, one clear core stood out: Charizard, Whimsicott, Garchomp, Basculegion, and a Floettite user appeared together on the teams of 德尼特粉 1, balancebarney, IdoLazer, and kaos :. The sixth slot varied between Incineroar and Kingambit, with Kingambit especially common across the top 8, appearing on balancebarney, Codeanish19, IdoLazer, failandimprove, kaos :, and othunder21.
Basculegion was another defining pick, showing up on six of the top seven teams. Item choice split between Life Orb on the top two versions and Mystic Water on Codeanish19, IdoLazer, failandimprove, and kaos :. Focus Sash was also prominent, most often supporting Whimsicott, while other teams used it on Lycanroc Dusk, Vivillon, or Kingambit.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Charizard plus Whimsicott tempo and have a concrete plan for Basculegion endgames.
