Gotou’s team was built around layered speed, weather, and damage control. Grimmsnarl with Light Clay, Prankster, Reflect, Light Screen, Spirit Break, and Parting Shot gave the team a clear defensive backbone, buying time for the more committed attackers to position safely. Pelipper supplied Drizzle, Tailwind, Wide Guard, and rain-boosted Weather Ball pressure, while Charizard with Charizardite Y and Drought created the opposite weather mode with Heat Wave, Weather Ball, Solar Beam, and Protect.
That dual-weather structure is the most notable part of the winning composition. Rather than relying on one weather state, Gotou could pivot between Pelipper and Charizard to change damage profiles and disrupt opposing weather-dependent plans. Basculegion with Choice Scarf, Adaptability, Wave Crash, Aqua Jet, Flip Turn, and Last Respects gave the team immediate speed and late-game cleanup potential. Archaludon with Leftovers, Stamina, Dragon Pulse, Electro Shot, Flash Cannon, and Protect fit naturally next to Pelipper, while Golisopod with Golisopite, Tough Claws, Swords Dance, Leech Life, Sucker Punch, and Iron Head added another physical threat that could punish slower board states.
Across the top teams, Basculegion appeared on both of the 8-2-0 teams, each using Choice Scarf and Adaptability with Wave Crash, Last Respects, and Flip Turn. Raichu was also prominent, showing up on the second-, third-, sixth-, and seventh-place teams with Lightning Rod and a Raichunite item, most often Raichunite Y. Rillaboom with Miracle Seed, Grassy Surge, Fake Out, Wood Hammer, and Grassy Glide was another repeated piece in the upper standings, appearing on Lore95, Altkyle, and Akatora_13.
Incineroar remained a familiar support anchor, appearing on Lore95, Sakuta_Kun, and Akatora_13 with Intimidate, Sitrus Berry, Fake Out, and Parting Shot. Weather was also a major theme: Gotou combined Pelipper and Charizard, Draxolotl used Pelipper with Golisopod and Archaludon, and eb3n brought Politoed, Charizard, and Archaludon. Leftovers Archaludon with Stamina and Electro Shot appeared multiple times, reinforcing how strong it was alongside rain support.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for flexible weather cores, Choice Scarf Basculegion endgames, and support-heavy pivots built around Fake Out, Parting Shot, and screens.
