Vardanc8’s winning team was built around a very direct six: Scovillain, Froslass, Lycanroc Dusk, Sneasler, Kingambit, and Basculegion. Scovillain used Scovillainite with Moody and a support/offense mix of Overheat, Giga Drain, Rage Powder, and Protect. Froslass carried Froslassite with Blizzard, Shadow Ball, Aurora Veil, and Protect, giving the team a clear defensive setup option without giving up attacking pressure.
The rest of the team leaned heavily into physical damage and priority. Lycanroc Dusk held Focus Sash with Rock Slide, Close Combat, Accelerock, and Protect, while Sneasler used White Herb and Unburden with Close Combat, Gunk Shot, Fake Out, and Protect. Kingambit brought Black Glasses, Defiant, Kowtow Cleave, Sucker Punch, Swords Dance, and Protect, offering a familiar late-game route through boosted priority and Dark-type damage. Basculegion rounded out the six with Sitrus Berry, Adaptability, Wave Crash, Last Respects, Aqua Jet, and Protect, adding another priority user and a strong endgame threat.
The most striking top-four trend was that Vardanc8 and benguins10 used the same six Pokemon: Scovillain, Froslass, Lycanroc Dusk, Sneasler, Kingambit, and Basculegion. Their item structures were also nearly identical across the shared core, including Scovillainite, Froslassite, Focus Sash, White Herb, Black Glasses, and a Basculegion item slot split between Sitrus Berry for Vardanc8 and Life Orb for benguins10.
Basculegion appeared on three of the top four teams, always with Adaptability and the core attacks Wave Crash, Last Respects, and Aqua Jet. Charizard also appeared on both daikyh’s runner-up team and Sango_24’s third-place team with Charizardite Y, Blaze, Heat Wave, Ancient Power, Weather Ball, and Protect across the two sets. Focus Sash was another repeated item, showing up on Lycanroc Dusk, Venusaur, Whimsicott, and benguins10’s Lycanroc Dusk within the top four.
For ladder players, the takeaway is simple: prepare for Scovillain/Froslass balance cores and Basculegion endgames, while still respecting Charizardite Y teams with fast support or Trick Room options.
