Centiskorch18โs winning team was built around a flexible speed and weather package rather than a single linear mode. Torkoal brought Drought with Eruption, Burning Jealousy, Helping Hand, and Protect, while Venusaur paired Life Orb with Chlorophyll and used Leaf Storm, Sludge Bomb, Sleep Powder, and Protect. That gave the team immediate pressure in sun, plus the disruption of Sleep Powder.
The rest of the six covered multiple board states. Raichu used Raichunite Y with Lightning Rod, Fake Out, Zap Cannon, Focus Blast, and Protect, giving the team Fake Out support and Electric redirection. Gardevoir held Gardevoirite and carried Hyper Voice, Thunderbolt, Trick Room, and Protect, which gave Centiskorch18 a slower mode alongside Torkoalโs Quiet nature. Incineroar supplied the familiar Intimidate, Fake Out, Parting Shot, Flare Blitz, and Throat Chop package with Sitrus Berry, while Choice Scarf Garchomp added fast physical pressure through Earthquake, Dragon Claw, Stomping Tantrum, and Rock Slide.
Across the top teams, sun was the clearest trend. Charizard with Charizardite Y appeared on the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and eighth-place teams, while Venusaur showed up on the first, fifth, and sixth-place teams. Torkoal was only on the winning team, but Drought and Chlorophyll were still major themes throughout the top cut-adjacent standings.
There was also a strong concentration of support cores. Farigiraf with Sitrus Berry and Armor Tail appeared on 138mysx, NervoX, POokeIkerVGC, and Stallcelth. Kingambit was similarly common, appearing on the third, fourth, seventh, and eighth-place teams, always with Defiant and a physical move set built around Kowtow Cleave and Sucker Punch. Sylveon with Fairy Feather and Pixilate appeared on three of the top six teams, giving several sun teams a strong spread damage option with Hyper Voice.
Item repetition was just as notable. Sitrus Berry showed up on Torkoal, Incineroar, Pelipper, Farigiraf, and other support pieces in the top standings. Focus Sash appeared on Kingambit, Sneasler, Venusaur, and Whimsicott, while Life Orb was used on Venusaur, Gholdengo, Garchomp, Kingambit, and Basculegion. Light Clay Grimmsnarl also placed second and fifth, both with Prankster, Spirit Break, Reflect, Light Screen, and Parting Shot.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Charizard sun cores, but do not ignore hybrid teams that can pivot between Fake Out, Trick Room, Tailwind, and fast Choice Scarf pressure.
