Daredevilzz26’s winning team leaned on layered support around strong spread and priority-adjacent pressure. Maushold was Chople Berry with Friend Guard and carried Taunt, Follow Me, Feint, and Protect, giving the team redirection, disruption, and a way to push damage through Protect. Farigiraf added Armor Tail, Sitrus Berry, Light Screen, Helping Hand, Psychic, and Trick Room, making the team comfortable playing both into speed control and with its own slower mode.
The offensive core was flexible. Staraptor held Staraptite with Intimidate and a Jolly nature, using Close Combat, Brave Bird, Roost, and Protect. Kangaskhan used Silk Scarf with Scrappy, a Brave nature, Fake Out, and Last Resort, giving the team a very direct damage plan. Drampa, with Drampanite, Cloud Nine, Quiet nature, Dragon Pulse, Earth Power, Hyper Voice, and Protect, fit naturally with Farigiraf’s Trick Room while also giving the team a spread option. Hisuian Zoroark rounded things out with Focus Sash, Illusion, Will-O-Wisp, Bitter Malice, U-turn, and Hyper Voice, adding another disruptive angle without sacrificing offensive presence.
The runner-up, shaikhvgc786 [IN], had clear overlap with the champion: Staraptor, Maushold, Farigiraf, Drampa, and Kangaskhan all appeared again, though with different item and move choices in several slots. That makes the top two especially notable, as both 9-1-0 records came from closely related Normal-heavy structures built around redirection, Fake Out, Trick Room, and Staraptor pressure.
Across the rest of the top cut, Basculegion stood out as the most repeated non-overlap pick. Pedro F [BR], PizzaMan [CA], LMagician [PA], and Flaneurx [BR] all used Basculegion with Choice Scarf, Adaptability, Wave Crash, Last Respects, Flip Turn, and Aqua Jet, with only the nature differing on Flaneurx’s Adamant set versus the Jolly versions listed above it. Froslass, Annihilape, Sinistcha, Gholdengo, and Ceruledge also appeared together on both PizzaMan [CA] and LMagician [PA], showing another repeated six-Pokemon structure in the standings.
Common items reinforced the tournament’s emphasis on positioning. Focus Sash appeared on Hisuian Zoroark, Pelipper, Gholdengo, Garchomp, and Aerodactyl, while Leftovers showed up on Toxapex, Annihilape, Archaludon, Corviknight, and Wash Rotom. Sitrus Berry was used by both top-two Farigiraf sets, plus Blastoise and Sinistcha. Staraptite appeared on both first and second place Staraptor, while Swampertite appeared on Pedro F [BR] and Flaneurx [BR].
Takeaway for ladder players: prepare for Maushold and Farigiraf support cores, and respect Choice Scarf Basculegion as a repeated top-table finisher.
