Leon000’s winning team is a clean blend of fast pressure, spread damage, and late-game priority. Eternal Flower Floette with Floettite, Flower Veil, Modest, and Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, Light of Ruin, Protect gives the team a powerful Fairy-type focal point that can threaten both single-target and spread damage. Charizard with Charizardite Y, Heat Wave, Weather Ball, Solar Beam, Protect adds immediate special offense and pairs naturally with the team’s speed control.
Whimsicott is the main tempo piece, carrying Focus Sash, Prankster, Timid, and Moonblast, Encore, Tailwind, Protect. Tailwind lets Leon000’s heavier attackers move first, while Encore gives the team a way to punish defensive turns. Garchomp with Life Orb, Rough Skin, Jolly, and Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Protect, Rock Slide supplies physical spread pressure and coverage. Basculegion with Mystic Water, Adaptability, Adamant, and Wave Crash, Last Respects, Aqua Jet, Protect adds a direct Water attacker with priority. Kingambit rounds out the six with Black Glasses, Defiant, Adamant, and Kowtow Cleave, Iron Head, Sucker Punch, Protect, giving the team a strong Dark-type endgame option and another form of priority through Sucker Punch.
Across the top teams, Kingambit was the clearest repeated pick. It appeared on the first, second, fourth, sixth, seventh, and eighth-place teams, often with Defiant and Adamant. Life Orb Kingambit with Kowtow Cleave, Sucker Punch, Swords Dance, Protect showed up multiple times, including KimPkm [JP], DominicVgc [IT], smearglegoat, and Nes7a [IT]. Leon000’s Black Glasses version was more immediately focused on boosted Dark damage without Swords Dance.
Charizard was another major trend near the top. Leon000, Beedrillvgc, and Mewoxys [IT] all used Charizard with Charizardite Y, Blaze, Modest, Heat Wave, Weather Ball, and Protect. Beedrillvgc supported it with Venusaur, while Leon000 and Mewoxys paired it with Garchomp.
The support cores also repeated. Incineroar appeared on Beedrillvgc, DominicVgc [IT], MEGA_Meganium, and Nes7a [IT], generally with Sitrus Berry, Intimidate, Fake Out, Flare Blitz, and Parting Shot. Sinistcha was also common, appearing on Beedrillvgc, DominicVgc [IT], MEGA_Meganium, and Nes7a [IT] with Hospitality, Rage Powder, Trick Room, and Matcha Gotcha variants. Focus Sash was widely used as well, appearing on Whimsicott, Hisuian Arcanine, Venusaur, Sneasler, Lycanroc Dusk, and Kingambit among the listed top eight.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Kingambit endgames, Charizardite Y offense, and support cores built around Fake Out, Rage Powder, Tailwind, and Trick Room.
