Asteriio’s winning team was a balanced six built around strong positioning tools and immediate pressure. Incineroar with Sitrus Berry, Intimidate, Fake Out, and Parting Shot gave the team consistent tempo control, while Rillaboom added Grassy Surge, Miracle Seed, Fake Out, Wood Hammer, and Grassy Glide. That double Fake Out structure supported major attackers like Life Orb Gholdengo, which carried Make It Rain, Shadow Ball, Nasty Plot, and Protect.
The team also had multiple speed and disruption angles. Garchomp used Choice Scarf with Rough Skin and an Adamant nature, giving Asteriio fast access to Dragon Claw, Stomping Tantrum, Rock Slide, and Earthquake. Sneasler brought White Herb and Unburden with Dire Claw, Close Combat, Rock Tomb, and Protect, creating another aggressive mode that could pressure common targets while also offering speed control through Rock Tomb. Dragonite rounded out the composition with Dragoninite, Multiscale, a Timid nature, Tailwind, Dragon Pulse, Heat Wave, and Protect, giving the team a clear Tailwind option without sacrificing offensive coverage.
Across the top teams, several picks repeated. Gholdengo appeared on both first and second place, and in both cases it used Life Orb, Good as Gold, Modest, Make It Rain, Shadow Ball, Nasty Plot, and Protect. Sneasler was also prominent in the top eight, appearing on Asteriio’s, KST | KAMPFI’s, osaka_vl’s, and Kojay’s teams with Unburden across all four. Incineroar remained a staple support choice, appearing on the first, sixth, and eighth place teams with Intimidate and Parting Shot.
Weather and terrain were also important themes. CooperKid used Tyranitar with Tyranitarite and Sand Stream alongside Excadrill with Sand Rush, while mir_merchant brought both Charizard with Charizardite Y and Pelipper with Drizzle. Psychic Surge support appeared on both CooperKid’s Indeedee ♀ and Unskilled99’s Indeedee ♀ in the top four, with additional Indeedee variants further down the standings.
Takeaway for ladder players: pair immediate pressure with reliable positioning tools like Fake Out, Parting Shot, Tailwind, and Protect rather than relying on one offensive mode.
