Gustavo Santos’s winning team is a direct offensive build with multiple ways to control tempo. Whimsicott is the clear support centerpiece, using Focus Sash, Prankster, Tailwind, Encore, Moonblast, and Protect to set speed control while still threatening disruption. That gives the rest of the team room to apply pressure quickly rather than play a long positional game.

The damage core is varied. Charizard with Charizardite Y, Heat Wave, Weather Ball, Solar Beam, and Protect brings strong special spread pressure and immediate Fire-type offense. Basculegion runs Mystic Water with Adaptability, pairing Wave Crash and Aqua Jet with Last Respects for a Water attacker that can also clean late. Kingambit with Black Glasses and Defiant adds Kowtow Cleave, Sucker Punch, Iron Head, and Protect, giving the team strong priority and punishment into stat drops. Life Orb Garchomp rounds out the physical offense with Dragon Claw, Rock Slide, Earthquake, and Protect, while Eternal Flower Floette with Floettite supplies Fairy-type pressure through Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, and Light of Ruin.

Across the top cut of the standings, Kingambit was the most obvious shared piece. It appeared on the first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh, and eighth place teams, usually with Defiant and combinations of Kowtow Cleave, Sucker Punch, Iron Head, and Low Kick or Protect. That points to its role as both a reliable attacker and a deterrent against common debuff plans.

Basculegion was also prominent, appearing on the first, second, fifth, and seventh place teams. Most successful versions leaned on Adaptability and priority or late-game pressure, with Wave Crash, Aqua Jet, and Last Respects showing up repeatedly. Eternal Flower Floette was another recurring top option, appearing on the first, second, fifth, and eighth place teams with Floettite and Fairy-type offense.

The top teams also showed several different speed-control approaches. Tailwind appeared on Whimsicott and Staraptor, while Farigiraf gave the third and fourth place teams Trick Room plus Helping Hand support. Sneasler’s Fake Out and Feint packages were used by second and fifth, while the third-place team took a different route with Tyranitar, Excadrill, and Sand Rush.

Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Kingambit, Basculegion, and Eternal Flower Floette cores, but do not ignore flexible speed control from Tailwind, Trick Room, and priority.
