| Place | Player | Record | Team |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bijets [PE] | 7-0-0 | Aerodactyl, Kingambit, Sylveon, Farigiraf, Garchomp, Charizard |
| 2 | Alex_101 [IN] | 4-3-0 | Venusaur, Charizard, Grimmsnarl, Archaludon, Basculegion, Pelipper |
| 3 | OscarBK [ES] | 4-2-0 | Milotic, Staraptor, Tyranitar, Excadrill, Tsareena, Sneasler |

Bijets’ winning team was built around layered speed control and strong spread pressure. Aerodactyl held Aerodactylite with Unnerve and Jolly, carrying Rock Slide, Dual Wingbeat, Ice Fang, and Tailwind, giving the team a fast mode that can immediately pressure both sides of the field. Farigiraf added the slower mode with Sitrus Berry, Armor Tail, Trick Room, Sunny Day, Thunderbolt, and Psychic Fangs, while also offering protection against priority through Armor Tail.
The offensive core was direct and flexible. Charizard with Charizardite Y, Solar Power, Modest, Weather Ball, Heat Wave, Solar Beam, and Protect gave the team a special spread attacker that also benefits from Farigiraf’s Sunny Day option. Sylveon used Fairy Feather and Pixilate with Hyper Beam, Hyper Voice, Quick Attack, and Detect, providing another strong special attacker with both spread damage and a priority option. Garchomp carried Life Orb with Rough Skin and Jolly, using Protect, Stomping Tantrum, Earthquake, and Dragon Claw, while Kingambit brought Focus Sash, Defiant, Adamant, Iron Head, Kowtow Cleave, Sucker Punch, and Low Kick.
One notable detail is that Neph [ES], who finished sixth at 3-2-0, brought the same six Pokemon as Bijets with the same listed items, abilities, natures, and moves, only with move order differences in the submitted data. That makes Bijets’ 7-0-0 run a strong result for this exact Aerodactyl, Kingambit, Sylveon, Farigiraf, Garchomp, and Charizard structure.
Across the top teams, Charizard was the clearest repeated pick, appearing on the first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh place teams, all with Charizardite Y. Focus Sash was also common, appearing on Kingambit, Venusaur, Excadrill, Weavile, Whimsicott, and Glimmora across the listed standings. Sitrus Berry showed up on Farigiraf, Pelipper, Sableye, Incineroar, and again on Farigiraf in other teams.
Speed control was everywhere: Tailwind appeared on Aerodactyl, Pelipper, Staraptor, and Whimsicott, while Trick Room appeared on Farigiraf and Sinistcha. Weather themes were also prominent, with Charizard-centered sun teams, Pelipper with Drizzle, and Tyranitar plus Excadrill sand structures all represented in the top standings.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Charizardite Y teams that can pair fast Tailwind pressure with secondary control options like Trick Room or screens.
