Suruga’s winning team is built around layered positioning rather than a single speed plan. Grimmsnarl with Light Clay, Prankster, Parting Shot, Light Screen, Reflect, and Spirit Break gives the team immediate defensive structure, letting the more committed attackers find safer turns. Pelipper adds Drizzle, Focus Sash, Tailwind, Wide Guard, Weather Ball, and Hurricane, giving Suruga both speed control and a way to protect against spread pressure.
The rain core is backed by Archaludon with Leftovers, Stamina, Electro Shot, Snarl, Dragon Pulse, and Protect. That set fits cleanly into longer games: Leftovers and Stamina reward taking hits, while Snarl and Protect help slow the pace down when needed. Swampert with Swampertite brings Jolly Wave Crash, Ice Punch, Earthquake, and Protect as a physical damage option that pressures common board states from a different angle.
The most unusual-looking slot is Golisopod with Golisopite, Emergency Exit, Brave, Leech Life, Iron Head, Swords Dance, and Protect. Alongside Farigiraf’s Sitrus Berry, Armor Tail, Trick Room, Psychic, Thunderbolt, and Protect, Suruga had access to a slower mode that did not rely on Tailwind. That dual-speed profile made the team flexible: Pelipper could push tempo forward, while Farigiraf and Brave Golisopod gave the composition another way to fight opposing speed control.
Across the top teams, Focus Sash was one of the clearest item trends. Suruga’s Pelipper, rinp’s Whimsicott, dracojack’s Kingambit, Contrapple’s Pelipper, JosephVGC2047’s Whimsicott, Rex6y’s Sneasler, and KoiVG’s Kingambit all used it. Leftovers also appeared on Suruga’s Archaludon, rinp’s Annihilape, and Contrapple’s Archaludon, showing how many teams valued both immediate survival and extended board presence.
Several Pokemon repeated near the top. Archaludon and Pelipper appeared together on both Suruga’s first-place team and Contrapple’s fourth-place team. Rillaboom was on dracojack, Contrapple, and JosephVGC2047. Incineroar appeared on rinp, JosephVGC2047, and Rex6y. Sneasler showed up on Contrapple, Rex6y, MrPokEnjoy, and KoiVG. Salamence and Eternal Flower Floette each appeared on three of the top eight teams, while Kingambit was used by dracojack, MrPokEnjoy, and KoiVG.
Takeaway for ladder players: prioritize teams with multiple speed modes, durable positioning tools, and at least one clear way to survive early pressure.
