| Place | Player | Record | Team |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yukihiro_SnM [BR] | 9-1-0 | Incineroar, Camerupt, Raichu, Sylveon, Farigiraf, Rillaboom |
| 2 | Lawrash [BR] | 7-3-0 | Sinistcha, Gyarados, Incineroar, Raichu, Kommo-o, Tinkaton |
| 3 | Gelige [BR] | 8-1-0 | Blastoise, Indeedee ♀, Armarouge, Metagross, Sneasler, Drampa |

Yukihiro_SnM’s winning team is built around layered speed control, Fake Out pressure, and flexible damage output. Incineroar gives the team Intimidate, Fake Out, and Parting Shot, with Charcoal-boosted Flare Blitz adding real offensive pressure rather than functioning only as support. Rillaboom adds a second Fake Out user and Grassy Surge, with Life Orb Wood Hammer and Grassy Glide giving the team immediate physical damage and priority.
The central mode is clearly supported by Farigiraf. Sitrus Berry Farigiraf with Armor Tail, Helping Hand, Trick Room, and Protect lets the team play at a slower pace when needed, especially alongside Quiet Camerupt. Camerupt with Cameruptite, Heat Wave, Earth Power, Ancient Power, and Protect gives Yukihiro_SnM a strong spread attacker that benefits from Trick Room positioning. Raichu also fits the tempo-based approach: Raichunite Y, Lightning Rod, Fake Out, Zap Cannon, Focus Blast, and Protect provide disruption and a way to threaten key targets while protecting teammates from Electric pressure.
Sylveon rounds out the composition with Fairy Feather, Pixilate, Hyper Voice, Moonblast, Calm Mind, and Detect. It gives the team a consistent spread damage option that does not rely on Trick Room alone, while Calm Mind creates a way to punish passive turns generated by Fake Out, Parting Shot, or Protect.
Across the top teams, Incineroar remained a major defensive and positioning tool. It appeared on both finalist teams, with Yukihiro_SnM using Charcoal and lawrash using Sitrus Berry, and also showed up on Hidalgo Fop and Dibraldinho13’s teams. Raichu was another important pick near the top: both finalists used Raichu with Raichunite Y, while Aizawa used Raichu with Raichunite X.
Sneasler was one of the most repeated offensive pieces in the top cut of the standings, appearing on Gelige, LeonMagela, shaikhvgc786, Aizawa, and Dibraldinho13’s teams. Its item choices varied, including Psychic Seed, White Herb, Focus Sash, and Electric Seed, but the common thread was pressure through moves like Dire Claw and Close Combat.
Trick Room also had a strong presence. Yukihiro_SnM used Farigiraf, Gelige used Indeedee ♀, and additional teams brought Trick Room on Farigiraf or Sinistcha. At the same time, the top 8 showed a wide range of stone-based attackers, including Cameruptite, Gyaradosite, Blastoisinite, Metagrossite, Froslassite, Scovillainite, Salamencite, Charizardite Y, Golisopite, Delphoxite, and Floettite.
Takeaway for ladder players: bring enough speed flexibility to handle both Fake Out-heavy positioning teams and Trick Room attackers.
