NotDoodenberg’s winning team had a clear balance of pressure, positioning, and late-game cleanup. Salamence with Salamencite and Intimidate provided Tailwind support while still threatening spread damage with Hyper Voice and coverage through Flamethrower. Eternal Flower Floette gave the team a second major special attacker, using Floettite, Moonblast, Dazzling Gleam, Calm Mind, and Protect to threaten Fairy-type damage while also having the option to scale if given time.
The physical side was especially direct. Basculegion carried Choice Scarf with Adaptability, giving the team immediate speed and strong damage through Last Respects, Wave Crash, Aqua Jet, and Flip Turn. Kingambit used Life Orb and Defiant with Kowtow Cleave, Sucker Punch, Iron Head, and Protect, making it both a punish option into Intimidate-style play and a strong priority user. Rillaboom added Grassy Surge, Fake Out, Grassy Glide, Wood Hammer, and High Horsepower, while Sneasler rounded out the team with Focus Sash, Fake Out pressure, Close Combat, Dire Claw, and Protect. Between Tailwind, Choice Scarf, Fake Out, priority attacks, and Intimidate, the composition had several ways to control tempo without relying on a single mode.
Across the top teams, several patterns stood out. Kingambit appeared on each of the top three teams, and all three used Defiant with an Adamant nature and Kowtow Cleave plus Sucker Punch. Life Orb Kingambit was used by both NotDoodenberg and tigerozi11, while MagicDreams93 also used Life Orb on Kingambit with Iron Head and Protect.
Sneasler was another major presence, appearing on the first, second, fourth, and sixth-place teams. The sets varied: Focus Sash with Poison Touch for NotDoodenberg, White Herb with Unburden for tigerozi11 and Harukiiiii, and Psychic Seed with Unburden for SunnyDKA_26. Rillaboom also remained a common glue piece, showing up on the first, second, fifth, seventh, and eighth-place teams, most often with Grassy Surge, Fake Out, Grassy Glide, and Miracle Seed among the highest finishers.
Basculegion was used by both finalists in the standings and by SunnyDKA_26, with Last Respects appearing on all three of those Basculegion sets. Raichu with Raichunite Y and Lightning Rod was also a recurring pick in the broader top cut range, appearing on MagicDreams93, Martz, Dexter45, and Kahitano.
Takeaway for ladder players: build with layered tempo control, because the best teams here combined Fake Out, priority, speed control, and resilient damage rather than leaning on one plan.
