Jared’s winning team had a clear sand-backed physical mode with Tyranitar and Excadrill. Tyranitar carried Tyranitarite with Sand Stream and a Rock Slide, Knock Off, Protect, Dragon Dance set, while Excadrill used Focus Sash with Sand Rush and High Horsepower, Iron Head, Rock Slide, Protect. That pairing gives the team immediate weather pressure, spread damage, and a way to convert positioning into a Dragon Dance endgame.
The support around that core was compact but flexible. Incineroar brought Sitrus Berry, Intimidate, Fake Out, Parting Shot, Flare Blitz, and Darkest Lariat, giving the team standard tempo control and pivoting. Raichu added another Fake Out user, Lightning Rod, Raichunite Y, and a more unusual attacking package of Focus Blast and Zap Cannon alongside Protect. Serperior, with Wide Lens, Contrary, Leaf Storm, Giga Drain, Dragon Pulse, and Protect, supplied a special snowball threat that did not rely on sand turns. Cofagrigus rounded the six out with Leftovers, Mummy, Will-O-Wisp, Calm Mind, Hex, and Psychic, giving Jared a slower, bulkier line that could punish physical attackers and build toward a late-game Calm Mind position.
Across the top four, Fake Out was a major shared tool. Jared had it on Incineroar and Raichu, while Hunter Sanders had Fake Out on Rillaboom, Incineroar, Tinkaton, and Sableye. Sitrus Berry also appeared repeatedly, showing up on Jared’s Incineroar, Hunter’s Rillaboom, and Andres Giovanni Machado’s Farigiraf. Focus Sash was another common item, used by Excadrill, Pawmot, Pelipper, and Indeedee ♀ across the top four.
The top cut of teams also showed a wide range of speed control and field control. Andres leaned on Grimmsnarl with Light Clay, Light Screen, Reflect, and Parting Shot, plus Pelipper with Drizzle, Tailwind, and Wide Guard. michael anzevino used a Psychic Surge and Trick Room structure with Indeedee ♀, Hatterene, and Torkoal, adding Metagross with Metagrossite as a separate pressure point. Hunter’s second-place team emphasized disruption with Gengar’s Perish Song and Disable, plus Encore and Disable options on Sableye.
Takeaway for ladder players: build with multiple positioning tools, because the best teams here paired primary damage plans with Fake Out, pivoting, screens, Trick Room, Tailwind, or status pressure.
