Sooner’s winning team leaned on fast positioning and immediate damage. Whimsicott provided the main speed control with Focus Sash, Prankster, Tailwind, Encore, Moonblast, and Protect, letting the rest of the team pressure quickly rather than wait for setup turns. Eternal Flower Floette gave the team a strong Fairy-type damage profile with Floettite, Flower Veil, Modest, Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, Light of Ruin, and Protect.
The physical offense was especially direct. Hisuian Arcanine carried Life Orb with Rock Head, Head Smash, Flare Blitz, Extreme Speed, and Protect, giving Sooner a high-damage attacker that did not need much support to threaten KOs. Basculegion used Choice Scarf, Adaptability, Wave Crash, Last Respects, Aqua Jet, and Flip Turn, combining speed, priority, and pivoting. Kingambit added Black Glasses, Defiant, Kowtow Cleave, Sucker Punch, Iron Head, and Protect, while Dragonite rounded out the team with Dragon Fang, Inner Focus, Dragon Claw, Protect, Extreme Speed, and Low Kick. The result was a roster with Tailwind access, multiple priority moves, and several attackers that punish passive turns.
Across the top teams, Basculegion was one of the clearest recurring threats, appearing on Sooner’s first-place team, Thiago VGC’s third-place team, and babylady’s fourth-place team. Choice Scarf Basculegion showed up twice in the top three, both with Adaptability and Last Respects. Kingambit was also common, appearing on the first-, second-, and fourth-place teams, with Defiant and Sucker Punch on all three sets.
Charizard was another major trend, placing on each team from second through fourth with Charizardite Y. Unskilled99 used Charizard with Blaze, while Thiago VGC and babylady used Solar Power. Whimsicott with Focus Sash, Prankster, Tailwind, Encore, Moonblast, and Protect appeared on both Sooner’s and babylady’s teams, reinforcing how valuable fast Tailwind plus disruption was in this event.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Tailwind-backed offense, Charizardite Y teams, and repeated priority pressure from Basculegion, Kingambit, Dragonite, and Hisuian Arcanine.
