SuperDialga’s winning team was a direct, fast-paced Charizard structure with several overlapping ways to pressure both speed and damage. Charizard held Charizardite Y with Blaze and a Modest nature, using Weather Ball, Heat Wave, Solar Beam, and Protect. That gave the team immediate spread damage through Heat Wave, strong single-target coverage through Weather Ball and Solar Beam, and a clear offensive centerpiece.
Whimsicott was the main support engine: Focus Sash, Prankster, Timid, with Moonblast, Tailwind, Protect, and Encore. Tailwind helped position the heavier hitters, while Encore gave the team disruption without slowing down its offensive plan. Garchomp added Life Orb damage with Rough Skin, Jolly, and Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Rock Slide, and Protect, giving the team another source of spread pressure. Basculegion used Mystic Water with Adaptability and Jolly, carrying Aqua Jet, Wave Crash, Last Respects, and Protect, which gave the team both immediate Water damage and late-game cleanup potential.
The back half of the team was just as focused. Sylveon with Fairy Feather, Pixilate, Modest, Hyper Voice, Hyper Beam, Quick Attack, and Protect supplied another strong spread attacker plus priority. Hydreigon rounded things out with Choice Scarf, Levitate, Modest, Draco Meteor, Dark Pulse, Snarl, and Earth Power, adding fast special pressure and Snarl utility.
The most striking trend was that first and second place used the same six Pokemon: Charizard, Whimsicott, Garchomp, Basculegion, Sylveon, and Hydreigon. Their sets were also extremely close, with the main visible distinction being Basculegion’s item: SuperDialga used Mystic Water, while QueerCrocodile used Sitrus Berry.
Across the top 8, Garchomp appeared on six teams, Charizard appeared on five, and Basculegion appeared on five. Whimsicott showed up on four teams, always alongside Focus Sash and Prankster in the listed top 8 teams. Life Orb Garchomp was common on the Charizard builds, while mzobes11 instead used Sitrus Berry Garchomp. Sneasler was also well represented, appearing on teams 3, 4, 6, and 7 with Fake Out present on each listed set.
There was also a clear support split between Whimsicott Tailwind teams and Grimmsnarl screens teams. Grimmsnarl appeared on teams 4, 5, and 6 with Light Clay, Prankster, Light Screen, and Reflect. Eternal Flower Floette appeared on teams 4, 5, and 8 with Floettite, while Incineroar appeared on teams 4 and 5 with Fake Out and Parting Shot.
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Charizard plus Whimsicott offense backed by Garchomp and Basculegion, because that core defined the top of this event.
