StarAmiiga’s winning team combined immediate pressure, redirection, setup, and weather control. Sneasler gave the team a fast utility lead with Focus Sash, Poison Touch, Fake Out, Poison Jab, Close Combat, and Coaching. That support pairs cleanly with Gyarados holding Gyaradosite, which can use Dragon Dance while benefiting from Intimidate and still threaten with Waterfall and Crunch.

Gholdengo was the central special attacker, using Leftovers, Good as Gold, Shadow Ball, Make It Rain, Nasty Plot, and Protect. Sinistcha supported that plan with Colbur Berry, Hospitality, Matcha Gotcha, Rage Powder, Life Dew, and Protect, giving the team both redirection and recovery tools. Raichu was another major support and damage piece, carrying Raichunite Y, Lightning Rod, Fake Out, Zap Cannon, Focus Blast, and Protect. Pelipper completed the structure with Sitrus Berry, Drizzle, Hurricane, Weather Ball, Tailwind, and Wide Guard, giving StarAmiiga speed control, spread protection, and rain-enabled offense.

Across the top teams, Sneasler remained one of the clearest common picks. It appeared on StarAmiiga’s first-place team and MrAwesome’s third-place team with Focus Sash, while Hashir123 and rival808 both used White Herb Sneasler. Fake Out plus Close Combat was a repeated core, with Dire Claw or Poison Jab filling the Poison-type attack slot depending on the team.

Raichu also stood out at the very top, appearing on both StarAmiiga and GSCC with Raichunite Y, Lightning Rod, Timid, Zap Cannon, Focus Blast, Fake Out, and Protect. Kingambit was another recurring endgame threat, used by GSCC, MrAwesome, dotnumber1, and rival808, with Defiant and Sucker Punch giving those teams a strong physical pressure point.

Item trends were clear as well. Focus Sash appeared on Sneasler, Hisuian Arcanine, Excadrill, Pelipper, Kingambit, and Lycanroc Dusk among the listed top teams, while Sitrus Berry showed up on Pelipper, Farigiraf, Incineroar, and Wash Rotom. Sinistcha also had a strong showing, with StarAmiiga and MrAwesome both using Colbur Berry Hospitality sets, and Kurisu bringing a Kasib Berry Heatproof version.

Takeaway for ladder players: flexible Fake Out support backed by setup threats, redirection, and speed control was a proven path to deep runs in this Regulation Set M-B event.
