Kira2317’s winning team is built around flexible speed control and multiple pressure modes. Farigiraf with Sitrus Berry, Armor Tail, and Trick Room gives the team a clear slower mode, especially alongside Quiet Torkoal with Charcoal, Drought, and Eruption. That pairing makes opponents respect Trick Room immediately, while Farigiraf’s Armor Tail also gives the team protection from priority-based disruption.
The team is not locked into that plan, though. Blastoise with Blastoisinite, Modest nature, Water Spout, Fake Out, Dark Pulse, and Aura Sphere adds a strong offensive centerpiece with its own Fake Out support. Kangaskhan with Kangaskhanite, Scrappy, Jolly nature, Fake Out, Double-Edge, Ice Punch, and Drain Punch gives Kira2317 another Fake Out user and a direct physical attacker. Having both Blastoise and Kangaskhan listed with Mega Stones means the team presents different matchup looks at preview.
Vivillon is one of the most distinctive pieces on the winning roster. Choice Scarf, Compound Eyes, Timid nature, Sleep Powder, Hurricane, Rage Powder, and Pollen Puff give it a fast disruption role, with Sleep Powder pressure and redirection utility from Rage Powder. The last slot, Basculegion with Focus Sash, Adaptability, Adamant nature, Liquidation, Aqua Jet, Last Respects, and Protect, rounds out the team with immediate Water damage, priority, and late-game threat potential through Last Respects.
Across the top cut, Basculegion was the clearest repeated Pokemon. It appeared on the teams of Kira2317, Claudiomir, and Puxcci in the top four, and all three used Adaptability with Aqua Jet and Last Respects. The item choices varied: Kira2317 used Focus Sash, Claudiomir used Choice Scarf, and Puxcci used Mystic Water.
Eternal Flower Floette also had a strong showing, appearing on both Claudiomir’s second-place team and Puxcci’s fourth-place team with Floettite and Light of Ruin. Kingambit was another repeated pick between those same two teams, both using Black Glasses, Defiant, Iron Head, and Sucker Punch. Focus Sash appeared on Kira2317’s Basculegion, Aloy2023’s Excadrill, and Puxcci’s Whimsicott, while Sitrus Berry showed up on Kira2317’s Farigiraf, Claudiomir’s Incineroar, and Aloy2023’s Annihilape.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Basculegion endgames, and make sure your team has a concrete plan into both Trick Room pressure and fast disruption.
