Clementine23’s winning team was built around flexible speed control, strong priority, and layered positioning tools. Salamence carried Salamencite with Intimidate and a Hasty nature, using Double-Edge, Hyper Voice, Tailwind, and Protect. Volcarona added a second Tailwind option while also providing Rage Powder, Heat Wave, and Protect, with Grassy Seed pairing naturally with Rillaboom’s Grassy Surge.
Rillaboom gave the team Fake Out pressure and immediate Grass damage through Miracle Seed-boosted Grassy Glide and Wood Hammer, while High Horsepower kept its coverage straightforward. Basculegion held Focus Sash with Adaptability and an Adamant nature, using Liquidation, Last Respects, Aqua Jet, and Protect. That set gave the team a dangerous late-game attacker while still having Aqua Jet for priority pressure.
Kingambit was another key closer. Chople Berry, Defiant, and an Adamant nature made it difficult to punish cleanly, and its Kowtow Cleave, Sucker Punch, Low Kick, and Iron Head set covered both priority and broad offensive matchups. Eternal Flower Floette rounded out the six with Floettite, Flower Veil, Modest Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, Calm Mind, and Protect, giving the team a Fairy-type win condition that could threaten spread damage or set up when supported by Fake Out, Rage Powder, or speed control.
The top of the standings showed several clear Regulation Set M-C patterns. Basculegion appeared on each of the top three teams, though with different details: Clementine23 used Focus Sash Adaptability, Blaze_05 used Life Orb Adaptability, and i_am_red_1 used Basculegion ♀ with Focus Sash and Swift Swim. Kingambit also placed highly, appearing on the first, second, and fourth-place teams, with Chople Berry on the top two and Focus Sash on Esai0904’s version.
Rillaboom, Salamence, and Eternal Flower Floette were shared between the top two finishers, but not identically. Clementine23’s Eternal Flower Floette had Flower Veil, while Blaze_05’s had Fairy Aura. Both used Floettite and the same Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, Calm Mind, Protect moveset. Salamence also overlapped, with both carrying Salamencite, Intimidate, Hyper Voice, Tailwind, and Protect, though Clementine23 added Double-Edge while Blaze_05 used Flamethrower.
Another major trend was speed control diversity. Tailwind appeared on Salamence, Volcarona, and Aerodactyl among the top four, while Farigiraf brought Trick Room for Esai0904. i_am_red_1’s third-place rain team used Pelipper with Damp Rock and Drizzle next to Swift Swim Basculegion ♀, plus Electric Seed Unburden Sneasler, showing a very different route to tempo control.
Takeaway for ladder players: the strongest teams here paired immediate pressure with multiple speed-control modes and reliable endgame priority.
