Codeanish19’s winning team was built around layered pressure rather than a single obvious mode. Froslass held Froslassite with Cursed Body and carried Blizzard, Shadow Ball, Aurora Veil, and Protect, giving the team a fast special attacker with a defensive support option. Scovillain held Scovillainite with Moody and used Protect, Overheat, Super Fang, and Rage Powder, adding both disruption and redirection to support the team’s attackers.

The physical core was especially direct. Basculegion used Sitrus Berry, Adaptability, and an Adamant nature with Protect, Wave Crash, Last Respects, and Aqua Jet. Kingambit carried Life Orb and Defiant with Protect, Kowtow Cleave, Sucker Punch, and Swords Dance, giving Codeanish19 a strong late-game threat and priority option. Sneasler added Fake Out support with White Herb and Unburden, alongside Close Combat, Gunk Shot, and Protect. Lycanroc Dusk rounded out the roster with Focus Sash, Tough Claws, Rock Slide, Close Combat, Accelerock, and Protect. Across the six, the team had multiple priority moves, Fake Out, redirection, and several ways to convert early positioning into endgame damage.

The top cut of the standings showed several clear trends. Charizard with Charizardite Y appeared on Samuel T, Purple_Meowstic, Dullo, and pablodsancha, often next to Venusaur on the second- and third-place teams. Basculegion was also prominent, appearing on Codeanish19, Dullo, and Nghi Xu, each time with Adaptability and the Wave Crash, Last Respects, Aqua Jet package. Kingambit showed up on Codeanish19, Dullo, and Nghi Xu, with Defiant on each listed set.

Focus Sash was one of the most common items near the top, used by Lycanroc Dusk, Venusaur, Annihilape, Whimsicott, Weavile, Excadrill, Chandelure, and others in the top eight. Sitrus Berry was similarly common on bulky or utility pieces such as Basculegion, Pelipper, Incineroar, Politoed, Farigiraf, and Sinistcha. Rain structures also had a visible presence, with Samuel T using Swampert, Pelipper, and Archaludon, while CuboX11 used Swampert, Politoed, and Archaludon.

Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for priority-heavy physical cores, Charizardite Y structures, and Basculegion endgames in Regulation Set M-B.
