The Drywalls Series #17 results: hellraiser wins Regulation Set M-B

The Drywalls Series #17 was played online on Limitless on 2026-08-24, drawing 76 players for Pokemon Champions Regulation Set M-B. The final round results centered on hellraiser’s run: hellraiser defeated natedog0196, Fab2006 defeated Kirbygambit, and hellraiser then defeated KaitoKunnnnn to finish first.

Place Player Record Team
1 hellraiser [BR] 8-1-0 Staraptor, Hisuian Arcanine, Sylveon, Farigiraf, Raichu, Kingambit
2 Fab2006 [FR] 6-3-0 Staraptor, Milotic, Tyranitar, Gholdengo, Excadrill, Sinistcha
3 KaitoKunnnnn [DE] 7-1-0 Froslass, Sinistcha, Sneasler, Kingambit, Blaziken, Incineroar
4 Jin-Hao Jiang [TW] 6-2-0 Charizard, Whimsicott, Incineroar, Basculegion, Garchomp, Eternal Flower Floette

hellraiser’s winning team had a clear mix of speed control, priority pressure, and flexible positioning. Staraptor with Staraptite and Intimidate supplied Tailwind while still threatening damage through Brave Bird and Close Combat. Hisuian Arcanine used Focus Sash with Rock Head, giving it room to apply Flare Blitz, Head Smash, and Extreme Speed pressure without relying on bulk.

The support core was also important. Farigiraf brought Sitrus Berry, Armor Tail, Helping Hand, Trick Room, and Protect, giving the team a second mode alongside Tailwind while also enabling stronger attacks from its partners. Raichu with Raichunite Y, Lightning Rod, Fake Out, Zap Cannon, Focus Blast, and Protect added disruption and Electric redirection. Sylveon’s Fairy Feather and Pixilate set with Hyper Voice, Yawn, Quick Attack, and Detect gave hellraiser a spread-damage Fairy attacker with extra utility. Kingambit rounded out the composition with Life Orb, Defiant, Kowtow Cleave, Sucker Punch, Swords Dance, and Protect, giving the team a late-game threat that could punish Intimidate and close games with priority.

Across the top teams, Staraptor stood out immediately by appearing on both first and second place teams with Staraptite, Intimidate, Brave Bird, Close Combat, Protect, and Tailwind. Kingambit was the most repeated high-finishing attacker, appearing on hellraiser, KaitoKunnnnn, Kirbygambit, Lartizan, Natedog0196, and JareMase with common reliance on Defiant, Sucker Punch, Kowtow Cleave, and Protect.

Incineroar remained a major support presence among the listed top finishers, appearing on KaitoKunnnnn, Jin-Hao Jiang, Kirbygambit, Lartizan, and JareMase, usually carrying Intimidate, Fake Out, Flare Blitz, and Parting Shot. Sinistcha also showed up multiple times, with Fab2006, KaitoKunnnnn, and Kirbygambit all using Hospitality plus Trick Room and Rage Powder. Sitrus Berry was common on bulky support pieces, including Farigiraf, Milotic, multiple Incineroar, and Natedog0196’s Garchomp.

The broader pattern was balanced teams with overlapping speed control rather than single-mode offenses: Tailwind appeared on Staraptor, Whimsicott, and Aerodactyl teams, while Trick Room appeared on Farigiraf and Sinistcha builds.

Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Kingambit endgames, Intimidate cycling, and teams that can switch between Tailwind and Trick Room pacing.
