Valencia’s winning team used a very clear dual-speed structure. Aerodactyl carried Aerodactylite with Unnerve and Tailwind, giving the team a fast mode alongside Rock Slide, Dual Wingbeat, and Ice Fang. Farigiraf added the opposite option with Sitrus Berry, Armor Tail, Trick Room, and Roar, making the team less dependent on always moving first.

The offensive plan was built around heavy spread and priority pressure. Charizard with Charizardite Y, Blaze, Modest, Heat Wave, Solar Beam, Weather Ball, and Protect supplied the main special attacking presence. Garchomp held Life Orb with Rough Skin and a Jolly nature, bringing Earthquake, Dragon Claw, Stomping Tantrum, and Protect. Sylveon added Fairy Feather Pixilate Hyper Voice, plus Hyper Beam, Quick Attack, and Detect. Kingambit rounded out the six with Focus Sash, Defiant, Adamant, Kowtow Cleave, Iron Head, Sucker Punch, and Low Kick, giving the team a strong endgame attacker and immediate priority.

The top two teams were especially close in construction: Valencia and De Jose used the same six Pokemon, with the main listed differences being Roar on Valencia’s Farigiraf over Protect, and Detect on Valencia’s Sylveon over Protect. That exact core of Charizard, Aerodactyl, Farigiraf, Garchomp, Sylveon, and Kingambit also appeared again at #8 with Giancarlo Abiera [PH], though with different details such as Colbur Berry Farigiraf and Black Glasses Kingambit.

Across the top eight, Kingambit was the most consistent presence, appearing on six teams with Defiant every time. Charizard also had a major showing, appearing on five teams, all with Charizardite Y, though both Blaze and Solar Power were represented. Garchomp appeared on five teams as well, most commonly with Rough Skin and Earthquake. Focus Sash was another major item, used on Kingambit, Whimsicott, Sneasler, and Vivillon among the listed top teams.

The standout takeaway for ladder players: build with a clear speed plan, because the best teams here paired immediate pressure with either Tailwind, Trick Room, or both.
