📈 Ladder Top Builds

This is a doubles-ranked season result-and-impressions post; in the back half the author reused last season's six without a fresh build writeup, only explaining a few move changes. The core was tuning against popular Milotic and Ceruledge: Farigiraf swapped to Psychic Noise so Ceruledge can't touch it, also handy versus Floette support teams; Sylveon's Hyper Beam, riding a 1.5x Special Attack, reliably OHKOs bulky Milotic and rolls to KO full-HP Kingambit, giving it good utility. Incineroar took DDL to punish Ceruledge stacking Bulk Up, moving points from Attack into bulk; Sneasler added Fake Out for a more stable line against Aerodactyl-plus-Kingambit leads. The author says he lacks top-tier knowledge and skill so he just plays a lot to gain rating, reaching 2400 over 500-plus games for his first Champion-level finish. The trade-off was becoming weaker to Kommo-o and Perish Song teams, Build article →

作者最初想做的是"Mega巨金怪+高速岩冰打击面"，但发现化石翼龙才是最合适的载体，于是改成Mega化石翼龙+生命宝珠巨钳螳螂双核。这两只用岩/飞/冰和钢/格斗/恶正好把Big6的弱点全都打穿：化石翼龙负责秒喷火龙、烈咬陆鲨这些巨钳螳螂难受的对象，巨钳螳螂反过来解决花叶蒂、幽尾玄鱼、仆刀将军。化石翼龙练得偏耐久，能挨咚咚鼠+晶光花的气势披带组合。追风起来之后，博识眼镜+防弹的杖尾鳞甲龙用灵魂节拍强化当扫场手，专门处理雨天、晴天、Mega耿鬼、Y版Mega雷丘这些棘手对局；防弹是半开玩笑的选择，但实战确实白嫖了不少喷火龙+妙蛙花的天气球+污泥炸弹和Mega耿鬼的暗影球。炽焰咆哮虎+奇迹种子来悲粗茶负责挡水、铺场、粉挑衅辅助节奏，Mega妖火红狐则用来对付煤炭龟大嘴娃场地队和班基拉斯+龙头地鼠+姆克鹰这类组合。作者自评短板是节奏偏慢、单局时间长、容易被运气翻盘，性价比不如上期的火焰鸡。Build article →

The build started from the author's love for Mawile, so Mega Mawile was locked in first. To cover its worst matchup Mega Charizard Y, Aerodactyl was added for STAB Rock Slide plus Tailwind, and a bulky Choice Scarf Garchomp copied from a foreign player was thrown in as a second answer to Charizard. Farigiraf provides massive bulk and optional Trick Room; the author eventually shifted EVs from full HP into SpA so it can actually threaten damage instead of sitting as a Fake Out sponge. Sylveon with Hyper Beam was picked up after seeing it wreck Kingambit in ladder games. Since the team was still weak to Kingambit and Basculegion, the last slot became Mega Blastoise, using Aura Sphere specifically for Kingambit and Dark Pulse for Farigiraf/Basculegion/Sinistcha. Three main leads: Aerodactyl+Sylveon as the safe default, Aerodactyl+Mawile against mirrors or Basculegion, and Mega Blastoise+Sylveon into Gholdengo teams. Author's strengths: Rock Slide flinches and Hyper Beam pickoffs. Weakness: EV spreads were mostly done by feel with no proper damage calcs.Build article →

This is a Doubles team from Season M-5 that finished rank 70. It's built around a bulky, physically-defensive Garchomp — with the meta leaning physical, its resistances and stats make it hard to knock out while it racks up Rough Skin chip, which the author found fun enough to build the whole team around. To cover Garchomp's Fairy, Dragon and Ice weaknesses, Mega Froslass hits Dragons, resists Ice, and adds screens plus a fast Blizzard sweep, while Kingambit hits Fairy and Ice and mops up with Sucker Punch; both also hold up well against Basculegion, which could otherwise blow the team open. Toxapex covers Ice and Fairy while chipping foes with poison, Garchomp handles the Poison/Steel types its poison can't touch, and the last two slots — Choice Scarf Sinistcha and Focus Sash Glimmora — were added to answer Archaludon-led rain teams and nanny/support squads.
