FiganSG’s winning team was mirrored exactly by runner-up ysabelle, which makes the core the defining result of the tournament. Raichu with Raichunite Y, Lightning Rod, Fake Out, Zap Cannon, Focus Blast, and Protect gives the team immediate disruption and electric redirection. Staraptor with Staraptite, Intimidate, Tailwind, Close Combat, Dual Wingbeat, and Protect adds a second fast pressure point while also providing speed control.

The rest of the six gives the team flexible pacing. Hisuian Arcanine holds Focus Sash and uses Rock Head with Flare Blitz, Head Smash, Extreme Speed, and Protect, offering direct damage and priority. Farigiraf with Sitrus Berry, Armor Tail, Psychic, Helping Hand, Trick Room, and Protect gives the team a slower mode and priority blocking. Sylveon with Fairy Feather and Pixilate brings Hyper Voice, Quick Attack, Hyper Beam, and Detect as a spread attacker that can also pick off weakened targets. Kingambit with Life Orb, Defiant, Kowtow Cleave, Sucker Punch, Swords Dance, and Protect rounds out the team as a physical closer that punishes opposing stat drops and can convert positioning into endgame pressure.

Across the top teams, Kingambit was one of the clearest repeated picks. It appeared on both first and second place with Life Orb, on MuffinGamer7568’s fourth-place team with Life Orb, and on N8_dawgg’s sixth-place team with Black Glasses. Sneasler also showed up repeatedly, placing third, fourth, and sixth with Fake Out on all three sets. Incineroar remained a common support option as well, appearing on the third-, fourth-, and sixth-place teams, each with Intimidate, Fake Out, and Parting Shot.

Items also clustered around familiar role compression. Sitrus Berry appeared on Farigiraf for the top two teams, Incineroar for joniaco and MuffinGamer7568, Pelipper for Vinnamon and timbucket, and Incineroar again for N8_dawgg. Focus Sash was used on Hisuian Arcanine by both finalists, Sneasler by joniaco and N8_dawgg, and Lycanroc Dusk by MuffinGamer7568. Speed control was widespread: the top two teams used both Tailwind and Trick Room, while Sinistcha, Pelipper, Aerodactyl, Alolan Ninetales, and Grimmsnarl also carried tools that influenced turn order or board pacing.

Takeaway for ladder players: build with both fast and slow modes in mind, because the top team succeeded with Tailwind, Trick Room, Fake Out, priority, and immediate damage all in the same six.
