📈 Ladder Top Builds

The team is built around Stealth Rock plus Mega Evolution plus sweep, with Archaludon, Mega Florges, and Basculegion as the core trio. Archaludon leads to set rocks with Mirror Coat as a surprise finisher that can eliminate Mega Gengar or Mega Charizard Y from the lead spot; Florges exerts enormous team preview pressure and draws out Steel-types for favorable coverage; Basculegion sweeps late-game at max Speed to race other 130-speed tier threats. Mega Gyarados serves as the backup Mega against Steel-types that threaten Florges and fast frail Mega threats. Hydreigon with Choice Specs plus Substitute and Nasty Plot handles stall teams by luring special walls. Corviknight fills the last slot as a general physical pivot with Iron Defense. The author is satisfied with the team's flexible four-pattern team selection but notes HD Corviknight and Mega Lopunny are persistent headaches.Build article →

作者本来打受け回，但20分平局打到烦，索性改用单挑流，明确不放河马、月亮伊布、丰蜜龙这些缓冲软垫。参考上期9位的租用队，最后阵容几乎没变。气势披带名额本来想给烈咬陆鲨，但发现魔幻假面喵在场就出不来，于是反过来用披带魔幻假面喵压制对面陆鲨。Mega位为了出场组合的灵活度配双Mega，选了配合好的快龙和花叶蒂——花叶蒂强烈吸钢，正好让快龙后出处理坚盾剑怪和巨钳螳螂赚人数。再加带宁神果剑舞的坚盾剑怪应对花叶蒂、河马、月亮伊布等哈欠手。魔幻假面喵通路太好，于是补铝钢桥龙正面打袋兽皮可西并铺隐形岩。最后塞讲究围巾烈咬陆鲨专门对付长耳兔，顺便当喷火龙、暴鲤龙、火神蛾的刹车。出场基本是坚盾剑怪+快龙+1，首发交魔幻假面喵或烈咬陆鲨。作者自评强项是坚盾剑怪+快龙打击面互补、对受け组合处理稳；短板是单挑流胜负容易被首发猜拳和选择决定，对怪我屋（变幻自如怪）阵容也没什么把握。Build article →

The team is built around Mega Delphox with the goal of minimizing team-selection guessing games. Magical Flame lets Delphox trade favorably against most Mega threats while applying a special attack debuff, and the Wish-Protect combination gives it sustainable recovery. Archaludon with Leftovers and Substitute-Protect completely nullifies pivot moves while Electro Shot breaks walls like Umbreon and Corviknight. Meowscarada with a Focus Sash provides Toxic Spikes and Leech Seed to support both partners. Kingambit with Black Glasses and Swords Dance supplies the team's raw damage output, using Supreme Overlord to compensate for Kingambit's middling speed. Mega Dragonite handles the stall matchups the other five cannot crack, and Choice Scarf Garchomp locks down faster Scarf threats. The team's key weakness is Mega Ceruledge and Mega Charizard X when opponents know the team preview.Build article →

The author's whole idea is to win with the Pokemon he likes, starting from the Mega Mawile he wanted to try and the Mega Dragonite he'd never used, going for an offense-leaning, low-cycle singles team that finished 112th. He deliberately picked the female Basculegion against the grain, and it's the team's selling point: Adaptability gives it top-tier power, it wins many one-on-ones, cut down countless Garchomp and Delphox, and specifically handled Hippowdon. Mega Dragonite runs a Timid four-attack spread that can flinch first with Multiscale and break through for free, with Air Slash for Grass coverage. Mega Mawile is Adamant Huge Power with Thunder Punch, Play Rough, Sucker Punch, and Iron Head for steady damage. Mimikyu pairs with Mawile to flip Gyarados leads via Trick Room, and Choice Scarf Garchomp cleans up. Archaludon uses its Sturdy-adjacent Ability to stay a tough Stealth Rock cBuild article →

Feeling the format was full of Metagross, the author started from the Mega slot that best beats it, Delphox, and built outward, with two accounts peaking at 2561 and finishing around 120th. Delphox runs Fire Blast, Psychic, Nasty Plot, and Substitute; Hippowdon is Leftovers Impish with Earthquake, Yawn, Slack Off, and Protect as the defensive-cycle pivot. Choice Scarf Meowscarada carries Trick Flower, Triple Axel, Thunder Punch, and U-turn, and gets thrown at almost any team with Gyarados. Empoleon runs Shuca Berry for water control plus Vacuum Wave, while Focus Sash Garchomp sets Stealth Rock plus Stone Edge and Lum Berry Kingambit Swords Dances to close. The usual lead is Garchomp or Empoleon plus Delphox and Kingambit, with Hippowdon only coming out when cycling looks better. His heaviest matchup is Mimikyu, which he only realized was a problem in the last hour, and Hisuian Samurott iBuild article →

This team is frankly built around landing low-accuracy moves — the author's motto is hit and win, miss and accept it. Mega Venusaur leads most matchups, using Sleep Powder and Leech Seed against physical threats or sleeping then double-hitting frail attackers; Espathra stacks Speed with Speed Boost while showing Hypnosis to warp opponent team selection and act as a Baton Pass relay for Clefable; Clefable comes in to tank Scizor with Miracle Seed-boosted attacks, sets Stealth Rock, and uses Healing Wish to revive Venusaur at full health; Snorlax runs Thunder Dive plus Explosion plus Yawn plus Fissure to lure in Basculegion; Mimikyu with Swords Dance and Shadow Claw cleans up; Mega Gengar finishes after Venusaur puts things to sleep. The Sleep Powder-Nasty Plot-Kingambit combination dominated Clefable and Baton Pass teams, but Substitute Gengar and sleep-immune leads were persistent problems.Build article →

The author is upfront that this was thrown together on the last day and isn't a real build, just a record; still, it climbed from around 4000th to a double-digit push. The plan targeted the Mega Delphox metagame: a Choice Scarf Garchomp that eats coverage moves, switches in a second time, and cleans up from above, paired with a Life Orb Basculegion for extra pressure. Floette plus a bulky U-turn Scizor gives a safe answer to Hydreigon and Metagross cores. Pyroar rounds it out to beat Mimikyu and Metagross while cracking slow pivot teams and Leftovers-Substitute squads. The author admits the individual pieces were strong but the assembly was rough, with many matchups either flat losses or lucky escapes.Build article →

这套是作者在M-3赛季冲到最高2480的纯正受循环，直接沿用了M-2的班底再改良。核心是双Mega物理受——Mega布里卡隆+Mega呆壳兽——分担压力，前者顶铝钢桥龙、幽尾玄鱼、坚盾剑怪、仆刀将军这条线，靠铁壁+舍身+地震+光合作用死守；后者HB满配去接Mega巨金怪、Mega火焰鸡、Mega姆克鹰、Mega巨沼怪这批M-B新增的物理Mega。卡比兽走厚脂特殊受，重点是靠地裂躲平局判定，同时地裂+地震两面处理持久力型和坚硬型铝钢桥龙。超坏星撒毒菱+黑雾兜底谜拟丘和瞑想类。Mega皮可西专门解隐形岩烈咬陆鲨和大嘴娃，靠魔法反射挡钉、天然+宇宙力量硬吃。最后一格美纳斯带气势披带+镜面反射，就是为了同时解决Mega妖火红狐、恶企图赛富豪、雨队铝钢桥龙这三个原本很重的特杀。作者自评短板是环境新增物理Mega对布里卡隆和呆壳兽都不利，毒在巨金怪多的环境里通得也不好，只能靠受循环整体互补硬扛。Build article →

The team is built around a standard Hippowdon pivot with Mega Dragonite and Mega Florges as the dual Mega pair, aiming to avoid speed ties and always have a usable Mega in the back. Hippowdon focuses on physical bulk to handle Garchomp, Mega Kangaskhan, and Mega Lopunny. Mega Dragonite runs max special attack without Speed investment and uses Roost plus Dragon Pulse, Air Slash, and Thunderbolt, applying unique pressure to Mega Venusaur and Corviknight. Mega Florges fills the complementary Mega slot on a high coverage basis against Lopunny matchups. Sneasler with Choice Scarf at max speed outruns Mega Gyarados and solves Mega Starmie, Mega Gengar, and even incidentally shuts down Primarina's Throat Spray. Meowscarada runs physical with Stealth Rock. Aegislash shifted to special late in the season and could bait opponents into letting it use Sacred Sword after they assumed special build. The author highlights Sneasler as the MVP for its exceptional Fighting-type coverage in this low-power-creep meta, and cites HD Corviknight as the team's largest structural weakness.Build article →
