AndresitoKun’s winning team was built around layered speed control and strong spread pressure. Whimsicott supplied Prankster Tailwind, while Indeedee added Psychic Surge and a Trick Room/Imprison package that could interfere with opposing speed modes. That gave the team multiple ways to keep initiative rather than relying on one tempo plan.
The offensive core was direct and efficient. Charizard with Charizardite Y, Heat Wave, Weather Ball, Ancient Power, and Protect paired naturally with Venusaur’s Chlorophyll and Life Orb set, giving the team a clear sun mode with fast special pressure from Leaf Storm, Sludge Bomb, and Earth Power. Garchomp added Choice Scarf physical coverage with Earthquake, Dragon Claw, Rock Slide, and Stomping Tantrum, giving the team another fast attacker outside of Tailwind. Sneasler rounded out the pressure with Psychic Seed and Unburden, using Close Combat, Dire Claw, Rock Slide, and Protect to threaten both single-target damage and disruption.
The top two teams shared several major pieces. Both AndresitoKun and IamNito used Charizard, Venusaur, and Garchomp, and both Garchomp were Choice Scarf with Rough Skin, Adamant, Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Stomping Tantrum, and Rock Slide represented across the two sets. Charizardite Y also appeared on both finalist teams, with Heat Wave, Weather Ball, Protect, and Ancient Power on each Charizard. Venusaur was present on both, though AndresitoKun chose Life Orb while IamNito used Focus Sash and included Sleep Powder.
Across the top four, Gholdengo with Life Orb, Good as Gold, Make It Rain, Shadow Ball, Nasty Plot, and Protect appeared on both Benji O’s and ProfSkarmoryYT’s teams. Staraptor with Staraptite, Intimidate, Jolly, Close Combat, Brave Bird, Tailwind, and Protect was also shared by those same two teams. Focus Sash showed up repeatedly, appearing on Indeedee, Venusaur, Hisuian Arcanine, and Excadrill among the top four. Tailwind was another common thread, used by Whimsicott, Staraptor, and supported in multiple team structures as a primary speed-control option.
The other notable contrast was weather. AndresitoKun and IamNito leaned into Charizard and Venusaur, while ProfSkarmoryYT used Tyranitar with Sand Stream and Excadrill with Sand Rush. That made the top cut a clear snapshot of Regulation Set M-C teams balancing weather engines, fast spread damage, and anti-speed-control tools.
Takeaway for ladder players: pair your main speed plan with a backup mode, because the best teams here were not one-dimensional.
