Mattpode3’s winning team was a direct, speed-forward composition with multiple ways to pressure both slots. Whimsicott carried Focus Sash with Prankster and the familiar Moonblast, Tailwind, Encore, Protect set, giving the team immediate speed control and a disruptive answer to defensive turns. From there, Charizard with Charizardite Y, Heat Wave, Weather Ball, Solar Beam, and Protect gave strong special spread pressure, while Floette with Floettite added Fairy pressure through Moonblast, Light of Ruin, and Dazzling Gleam.
The physical side was just as important. Garchomp used Sitrus Berry, Rough Skin, Adamant, and Dragon Claw, Stomping Tantrum, Rock Slide, Protect, making it a flexible attacker rather than only a spread-damage piece. Kingambit’s Black Glasses, Defiant, Adamant set with Kowtow Cleave, Sucker Punch, Low Kick, Protect gave the team priority and late-game leverage. Basculegion rounded that out with Life Orb, Adaptability, Adamant, Liquidation, Aqua Jet, Last Respects, Protect, providing another priority option and a clear endgame threat.
Across the top cut of the standings, Garchomp was the most obvious common thread. It appeared on all four top teams, always with Rough Skin, and every listed set included Dragon Claw and Rock Slide. The item choices varied: Mattpode3 used Sitrus Berry, KM21 and Evan Scott used Life Orb, and Winterbayo used Roseli Berry.
Basculegion was also heavily represented, appearing on the first, second, and fourth-place teams. All three were Adamant with Adaptability, Aqua Jet, Last Respects, and Protect, while the Water move and item differed: Mattpode3 used Life Orb with Liquidation, KM21 used Mystic Water with Wave Crash, and Winterbayo also used Mystic Water with Wave Crash.
Charizard plus Whimsicott was another major pattern at the top. Mattpode3 and KM21 both used Charizardite Y Charizard alongside Focus Sash Whimsicott, and both Charizard sets included Protect, Weather Ball, and Heat Wave. Whimsicott’s Tailwind was present on both teams, though KM21 used Fake Tears and Energy Ball where Mattpode3 used Encore and Protect.
Froslass also stood out as the shared Mega-style pick between Evan Scott and Winterbayo, both using Froslassite, Cursed Body, Blizzard, Shadow Ball, Aurora Veil, Protect. Kingambit appeared on first and fourth, keeping Defiant and Sucker Punch as consistent pieces even with different items.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Garchomp plus Basculegion cores backed by fast Tailwind pressure and strong priority endgames.
