Lordao’s winning team was built around layered speed control and multiple offensive modes. Gardevoir with Gardevoirite gave the team a strong spread attacker with Expanding Force and Hyper Voice, while Indeedee ♀ supplied Psychic Surge support, Follow Me redirection, Helping Hand, and the Trick Room plus Imprison package. That combination let Lordao pressure opposing positioning while also contesting slower setups.
Sneasler fit cleanly into that structure with Psychic Seed and Unburden, using Close Combat, Dire Claw, Rock Tomb, and Protect. Basculegion added a separate fast threat through Choice Scarf, Adaptability, Flip Turn, Wave Crash, Head Smash, and especially Last Respects. The last two slots gave Lordao another offensive angle: Charizard with Charizardite Y, Heat Wave, Weather Ball, Ancient Power, and Protect alongside Venusaur with Focus Sash, Chlorophyll, Leaf Storm, Sludge Bomb, Earth Power, and Sleep Powder. The result was a team that could lead with Psychic Terrain pressure, pivot into Basculegion endgames, or threaten disruption and damage through Venusaur and Charizard.
The runner-up team from neves showed a different route through the same field. Pelipper with Drizzle, Focus Sash, Tailwind, Wide Guard, Weather Ball, and Hurricane supported Basculegion, Archaludon, and Golisopod. Farigiraf also appeared with Trick Room, Imprison, and Expanding Force, making it one of the notable support pieces shared near the top.
Across the top eight, Sneasler was one of the clearest trends, appearing on Lordao, Rafanort, aerxdri, gucardoso, and erichmr. Rillaboom was also common, appearing on Rafanort, MazokaJPN, aerxdri, and erichmr, usually giving Grassy Surge teams Fake Out, U-turn, Wood Hammer, or Grassy Glide pressure. Basculegion made three top-eight appearances with different items: Choice Scarf, Mystic Water, and Life Orb. Focus Sash also showed up repeatedly on Venusaur, Pelipper, Aerodactyl, and Hisuian Arcanine.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Sneasler speed swings, Rillaboom positioning, and Basculegion endgames when building for this Regulation Set M-B field.
