Valencia’s undefeated team was built around layered tempo. Froslass carried Froslassite with Cursed Body and Timid Blizzard, Shadow Ball, Aurora Veil, and Protect, giving the team a clear defensive setup option while still applying special pressure. Salamence added Salamencite, Intimidate, Timid Hyper Voice, Draco Meteor, Tailwind, and Protect, giving the team another major speed-control route.
The offensive end was direct and efficient. Sneasler used White Herb with Unburden, Adamant Close Combat, Gunk Shot, Fake Out, and Protect, combining Fake Out utility with immediate physical damage. Volcarona’s Focus Sash set with Flame Body, Struggle Bug, Overheat, Rage Powder, and Protect gave the team redirection and special damage mitigation. Kingambit, with Life Orb, Defiant, Kowtow Cleave, Sucker Punch, Swords Dance, and Protect, punished Intimidate-heavy structures and gave Valencia a threatening priority endgame. Basculegion rounded out the six with Mystic Water, Adaptability, Wave Crash, Aqua Jet, Last Respects, and Protect, providing strong Water damage and another priority option.
Across the top teams, Sneasler and Basculegion were the clearest shared offensive pairing. The top two both used Sneasler with White Herb and Unburden, and both paired it with Adaptability Basculegion carrying Wave Crash, Aqua Jet, Last Respects, and Protect. Salamence and Kingambit also appeared on both first and second place teams, though Serrato’s Salamence used Modest with Flamethrower, while Valencia’s used Timid with Tailwind.
Focus Sash was another common item, appearing on Valencia’s Volcarona, Rambano’s Sableye, Divinagracia’s Excadrill, De Vera’s Basculegion, and Bibon’s Excadrill. Life Orb also showed up repeatedly on major damage dealers: Valencia’s Kingambit, Divinagracia’s Gholdengo, De Vera’s Rillaboom, and Libao’s Gholdengo.
The rest of the top eight showed several defined archetypes. Rambano used a Gengar, Incineroar, Rillaboom, Archaludon, Politoed, and Sableye team with Perish Song on both Gengar and Politoed. Divinagracia and Bibon both brought Tyranitar, Excadrill, Staraptor, Milotic, and Gholdengo, with Whimsicott on Bibon’s version and Sinistcha on Divinagracia’s.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for White Herb Unburden Sneasler, Adaptability Basculegion priority, and strong Focus Sash utility picks when building for Regulation Set M-C.
