Sooner’s winning team is built around flexible speed control and spread pressure. Charizard (Charizardite Y / Blaze / Modest) gives the team strong special offense with Heat Wave, Weather Ball, and Solar Beam, while Protect keeps it manageable in positioning-heavy turns. Aerodactyl adds Tailwind, Rock Slide, and Dual Wingbeat from a Focus Sash set, giving Sooner a fast mode that can immediately support Charizard, Sylveon, or Garchomp.

The slower mode is Farigiraf with Sitrus Berry, Armor Tail, Trick Room, Helping Hand, Twin Beam, and Protect. That gives Sooner a way to reverse opposing Tailwind plans and improve damage math for the team’s main attackers. Sylveon is the clearest beneficiary, using Fairy Feather, Pixilate, Hyper Voice, Hyper Beam, Quick Attack, and Detect to threaten consistent Fairy-type spread damage. Incineroar supplies the standard glue role with Intimidate, Fake Out, Flare Blitz, Darkest Lariat, and Parting Shot, but Sooner’s version used Charcoal rather than a bulk item. Garchomp rounds out the team with Life Orb, Rough Skin, Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Stomping Tantrum, and Protect, giving the composition a physical attacker that can punish grounded teams.

The biggest trend near the top was Incineroar’s continued centrality. It appeared on each of the top four teams, with Fake Out and Parting Shot showing up repeatedly. Charizard, Farigiraf, Sylveon, Aerodactyl, and Garchomp were also shared between first-place Sooner and third-place Mona_Aster, though with important item differences such as Focus Sash Aerodactyl for Sooner versus Aerodactylite for Mona_Aster, and Life Orb Garchomp versus Choice Scarf Garchomp.

Rillaboom also had a strong showing across Silverland, Rockwell, and Zach K, usually pairing Fake Out with Grassy Glide and U-turn. Focus Sash was another common item across the upper standings, appearing on Aerodactyl, Sneasler, Whimsicott, and Pelipper in the top eight. Farigiraf plus Sylveon was a notable repeated pairing as well, appearing on Sooner, Mona_Aster, and Caybob2672 with Sitrus Berry Farigiraf and Fairy Feather Sylveon on all three teams.

Takeaway for ladder players: build with both Tailwind and Trick Room in mind, because the best teams here had multiple ways to control tempo.
