Author Kyouta inherited a Hippowdon-Excadrill sand team from a friend and refined it to a peak rating of 2800, finishing sixth. Through testing he found that Hippowdon, Mega Lucario, and Gyarados formed an exceptionally well-rounded trio and locked them in as the backbone. Scarf Greninja was added to revenge-kill threats like scarf Basculegion and handle Glimmora and Archaludon without giving either a free turn. The final Mega slot went through Gardevoir, Meganium, Froslass, Charizard, and Gengar before landing on Mega Sableye: it hard-counters Kangaskhan builds, and critically, simply showing it in team preview forces opponents to lead Clefable or Floette to answer it — which opens the sand core and Lucario. The author emphasizes this team preview pressure as the team's key strategic asset. Weaknesses are Mega Charizard-Y, Mega Dragonite, and Basculegion, which the team handles only passively.Build article →
The author finished seventh (rating 2776) with a brief notes-style article. The core idea was to use Gyarados and Hippowdon as pivot-buffers to minimize unfavorable matchups. Mega Gengar was added to handle the Primarina that Gyarados draws, and Bug Bite Mega Scizor was brought in to dismantle the Umbreon-Garchomp-Gengar-Floette core that the author identified as a serious threat. Scarf Meowscarada provides team-preview pressure against Basculegion, and Calm Mind Primarina was the answer to the flood of Reflect Archaludon leads that appeared on the final day — her typing meant almost no unfavorable leads against that strategy. The author admits the team carries many overlapping weaknesses (Mega Charizard-Y, Mega Dragonite, Basculegion, Mega Scizor, Mega Delphox, Kingambit, Build-Up Corviknight) and that a still-unsettled meta let many wins slide through on vibes. The goal remains a top-single-digit finish in future seasons.Build article →
作者一贯只会打正面单挑流，所以这次也从对面性能顶尖、带神速的Mega快龙起手搭队。第二个Mega名额选了能压制魔幻假面喵、也能对付花叶蒂的巨钳螳螂，再补上地面位烈咬陆鲨、气势披带位魔幻假面喵、出其不意的讲究围巾晶光花，以及带木子果的洗翠大剑鬼来破受队。为了尽量不换人，六只的打击面都尽量拉宽。快龙胆小性格是为了压制同族并且能超过固执烈咬陆鲨，龙之波动配神速基本能秒该秒的东西，十万伏特打西狮海壬和暴鲤龙、喷射火焰对付Mega巨金怪和坚盾剑怪。烈咬陆鲨故意戴达人之带，龙鳞加农三发能好数运带走ASPT烈咬陆鲨，剑舞后火之牙还能捅钢铠鸦，别人根本预料不到这个道具。讲究围巾晶光花因为队里已经有烈咬陆鲨和魔幻假面喵吸眼球，几乎不会被读到围巾，收尾压制效果拔群。洗翠大剑鬼靠木子果硬吃哈欠和剧毒堆剑舞，破月亮伊布和受循环特别舒服。作者自评是六只都能一挑一，讲究围巾晶光花的奇袭常能凭空造出胜利线。Build article →
Struggling on the final day, the author built around HD Hippowdon leading to set Stealth Rock and Yawn, opening the field for a sweep with Mega Lucario. Rotom-Wash was added third to cover Garchomp's Earthquake and Primarina, using Light Screen plus Volt Switch to chip Primarina down for Lucario's Meteor Mash. Max-Attack SD Lucario has a high roll to KO physically defensive Hippowdon with Close Combat, and its ExtremeSpeed picks off Delphox, Starmie and Greninja. DD Life Orb Dragonite is the secondary win condition, breaking Aegislash, Skeledirge and Basculegion that Lucario can't handle, while the two Mega candidates force opponents to guess. Alolan Ninetales handles Dragon-types and pairs with Hippowdon for dual screens. The author admits the clear weakness: matchups against Jolly Yache Garchomp or Metagross where Lucario loses the speed tier are basically unwinnable and he just prayed to dodge them.Build article →
作者从上赛季的队伍微调技能延续使用，思路是"从上面用概率压制对手"的正面单挑队，刻意把命中不稳的技能尽量删掉（吐槽自己却给仆刀将军留了断头钳）。核心是Mega甲贺忍蛙，最速跑过长耳兔，剩下堆攻特，靠变幻自如打恶之波动、淤泥波、冰光、踢倒，对烈咬陆鲨、花洁夫人、坚盾剑怪都很吃得开，而且环境里气势披带型甲贺更多，对手往往不防Mega，行动空间大。围巾西狮海壬是暗里的二号王牌，专门收割中速没防备的对手，由甲贺先削血后她正好补刀，等倍基本能吃一发触发激流。快龙带身披斗篷走龙舞，伪装成普通型骗特殊受出场再爆破；Mega妙蛙花负责打击面互补、压制飞行和超能；仆刀将军带断头钳针对月亮伊布、超坏星这类受向；苍炎刃鬼披带剑舞，从无念之剑改近战为了打铝钢桥龙、月亮伊布、大剑鬼。短板是把诅咒之灵换成近战后，对围巾烈咬陆鲨、披带烈咬陆鲨变得难处理，后期高分段河马兽变多，苍炎出场率下降。Build article →
Author Pitz finished eighth (rating 2776) with a rain team built on two goals: maximizing Archaludon's output and beating opposing Hippowdon at the team level. Rain naturally satisfies both — Archaludon fires off Electro Beam freely in rain, and the Water-type offense easily threatens Hippowdon. Pelipper and Archaludon were locked in first; Basculegion-M was run as a scarf Adaptability attacker rather than Swift Swim, giving it consistent power regardless of weather. Mega Starmie was added to leverage rain and was built to a high Special Defense spread specifically to beat Mega Gengar head-on. Floette covered the Mega Dragonite gap and blocked Yawn setups. The final slot went to Greninja to answer the Mega Dragonite plus residual-stall Aegislash pairing. The author argues Archaludon is the real anchor of the team, not the Water-types, and notes that Mega Starmie plus Basculegion's team-preview pressure distorts opponent selection in ways that directly benefit Floette and Archaludon.Build article →
这套是作者延续上一期思路继续打磨的Mega巨钳螳螂+快龙双Mega队。核心是HB配置的Mega巨钳螳螂用后发虫鸣回来做对面调整，从循环里靠隐形岩和毒菱蹭伤害，视削减程度切换成剑舞+子弹拳的清场手。河马兽HD特化配吃剩果实首发铺隐形岩，稳定性极高，还能挡Mega喷火龙Y一发；讲究围巾三首恶龙满足特攻满速，从虫鸣回来接管场面，顺便处理队伍怕的幽尾玄鱼、洛托姆、妖火红狐。副Mega快龙满速满特攻带替身+羽栖，专门配合毒菱去磨钢铠鸦、对面Mega快龙这类巨钳螳螂啃不动的受向。甲贺忍蛙气势披带负责铺毒菱和处理妖精，赛富豪则是吃卡西布果实的破坏点，靠黄金体躯免疫状态，坏心眼后打受循环+Mega耿鬼的组合。作者自评强项在于当前火力偏低的环境里靠设置技补火力打消耗战很吃香；短板是Mega快龙同速对拼这期明显吃亏，稳定性有下滑，另外甲贺忍蛙容易把对面受向叫出来、反而不好把毒菱踩到本命身上，需要搭河马兽或赛富豪先把受向赶下场。Build article →

Author Miruku finished ninth (rating 2769) after admitting to mostly playing other games until the final night, when he hastily assembled this Garchomp-Aegislash-Mega Dragonite team. Focus Sash Garchomp opens as a scout and Stealth Rock setter that consistently delivers around 85% value in any matchup; the key rule is not to force the sash — pivot to Dragonite or Aegislash whenever the positioning is better. Aegislash is the team's strongest Pokemon: Poltergeist, Shadow Sneak, King's Shield, and Swords Dance, with Floette's team-preview pressure deterring dark-type usage so thoroughly that the author says the moveset never felt restricted. Mega Dragonite uses Flamethrower to punish the Steel-types Garchomp draws, and Substitute plus Roost keeps it rolling; it was selected in almost every game on the final day. Archaludon is a powerful anonymous pivot that free-wins against Kangaskhan, Mimikyu, and Meowscarada. Scarf Meowscarada exists mainly for a one-shot play against Mega Lopunny and to pressure Basculegion in team preview. Floette was never brought to battle — three attempts, three losses — but its team-preview presence was described as outright dominant.Build article →
The author built a standard team around Hippowdon's Yawn + Protect, using it to reset the field with sand and push opponents into KO range for the Mega in the back. Hippowdon is the glue, with physical bulk investment, handling tempo and forcing draws in bad matchups. Lopunny runs max Attack Fake Out + Power-Up Punch specifically to lock down Mega Greninja, and its threat shapes every lead choice. Aegislash with Spell Tag Shadow Ball + King's Shield cleans up Hippowdon switch-ins and the Archaludon that Starmie baits out. Glimmora lays Toxic Spikes against the Primarina and Mega Charizard Y that Hippowdon hates, and outspeeds opposing Glimmora with Mud Shot. Mega Starmie is ASぶっぱ with Zen Headbutt for Mega Venusaur/Staraptor and Aqua Break for Metagross and Umbreon. Meowscarada carries Foul Play as the only answer to DD Gyarados. The author admits the core is weak and just muscled wins through play, rarely beating properly built Gyarados teams.Build article →
The author adapted another player's Dragonite + Mega Scizor build, swapping the original Greninja slot for Primarina — a typing that pairs better with Mega Scizor and widens the type-based defensive cycle so opposing Primarinas can't muscle in. Toxic Spikes were dropped, and Dragonite's Substitute was replaced with Thunderbolt for broader coverage. The engine is Hippowdon setting Stealth Rock and chip from sand so Mega Scizor's Bullet Punch and Hydreigon's Draco Meteor / Dark Pulse punch clean through. Primarina hard-covers Delphox and Starmie that trouble Mega Scizor, out-speeds mirror Primarinas thanks to invested Speed, and uses Moonblast + Calm Mind or Encore to lock down opposing Primarinas and Kingambit. Fast Dragonite is the backup Mega for matchups where Scizor struggles — Charizard, Dragonite mirrors, Blaziken. The author flags Charizard, Blaziken and Lucario Mega teams as clearly rough matchups, but says the build handles almost everything else and benefited from lighter Mega Scizor preparation this season.Build article →
Author Sigma presented a detailed meta analysis before revealing his tenth-place team. He categorizes the M-A environment into fast scarf attackers, defensive tanks (Corviknight, Archaludon, Hippowdon), and mid-speed generalists — arguing that scarf pressure forces tanks into high usage, so every team's core selection needs a way to break them. Special Mega types are more valuable than physical ones because type-tanking physically is easier. This led to Mega Glimmora as the special Mega anchor, with sand-summoning Hippowdon as the natural partner — Hippowdon draws Garchomp and Corviknight which Glimmora handles well. Scarf Meowscarada rounds out the attacking core, and Archaludon covers Water-type and Stealth Rock duties; these four are the reliable core selection. Mega Starmie was added as the second Mega for team-preview pressure against Mega Lucario and Mega Delphox. The final slot, locked in at midnight on the final day, was Conkeldurr — because Mega Starmie draws Archaludon and Dark-types, and Conkeldurr beats both while refusing to be setup bait for Mega Floette's Calm Mind. The author is confident in the core but admits the supplementary slots have room to improve, with Mega Venusaur and Vivillon as the team's weak spots.Build article →
