| Place | Player | Record | Team |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Diego G | 7-1-0 | Charizard / Venusaur / Garchomp / Incineroar / Toxapex / Sylveon |
| 2 | LawrenceVGC [PH] | 6-2-0 | Gardevoir / Garchomp / Sneasler / Kingambit / Incineroar / Sinistcha |
| 3 | IRNemesis [CL] | 6-1-0 | Staraptor / Excadrill / Gholdengo / Tyranitar / Maushold / Venusaur |

Diego Gβs first-place team was built around Charizard with Charizardite Y and Venusaur with Life Orb, using the classic sun pressure of Heat Wave, Weather Ball, Sludge Bomb, Leaf Storm, and Earth Power. Charizardβs Timid set kept its role straightforward: spread Fire damage, take advantage of weather with Weather Ball, and preserve positioning with Protect. Venusaur added immediate special offense under Chlorophyll, with Earth Power giving it a way to pressure targets beyond its Grass- and Poison-type attacks.
The rest of the team gave the composition a practical defensive and positioning shell. Choice Scarf Garchomp provided fast physical damage with Earthquake, Dragon Claw, Rock Slide, and Stomping Tantrum, giving Diego G another spread option and a way to clean up outside the Charizard-Venusaur mode. Incineroar with Sitrus Berry, Intimidate, Fake Out, Throat Chop, and Parting Shot handled tempo control, while Toxapex with Leftovers, Regenerator, Infestation, Toxic, Wide Guard, and Baneful Bunker offered a slower disruptive angle. Sylveon rounded out the six with Fairy Feather Pixilate Hyper Voice, plus Quick Attack, Yawn, and Protect.
Across the top four, Garchomp was the clearest repeated pick, appearing on the teams of Diego G, LawrenceVGC [PH], and ViceuVGC [CL]. The sets were not identical: Choice Scarf for Diego G, Garchompite for LawrenceVGC [PH], and Life Orb for ViceuVGC [CL]. That spread shows the same Pokemon filling different jobs, from speed control and immediate pressure to a Mega option and standard Life Orb attacker.
Charizard also showed up twice, both times with Charizardite Y, appearing on Diego Gβs winning lineup and ViceuVGC [CL]βs fourth-place team. Kingambit appeared on both LawrenceVGC [PH] and ViceuVGC [CL], each with Defiant and a similar core of Kowtow Cleave, Iron Head, Sucker Punch, and Protect, though the items differed between Chople Berry and Black Glasses. Incineroar appeared on the top two teams with Sitrus Berry and Intimidate, reinforcing its role as a dependable Fake Out and Parting Shot pivot.
Item trends were also concentrated. Focus Sash appeared on Sneasler, Excadrill, and Whimsicott in the top four, while Life Orb appeared on Venusaur, Gholdengo, and Garchomp. Chople Berry appeared on Kingambit and Maushold, and Choice Scarf appeared on Garchomp and Tyranitar. Protect was nearly universal across the top teams, especially on offensive pieces that needed to manage turns around Fake Out, Tailwind, Trick Room, and weather pressure.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Garchomp, Charizardite Y sun, and Incineroar-style pivoting before fine-tuning for more specialized picks.
